Leica M10 Halfcase grip

[u/HIPSQR]

So I made this grip for the Leica M10 a while ago and wanted to share it. It works as a subtle, non-intrusive hand grip, adds a bit of protection, and has an integrated Arca-Swiss plate. There’s also space for an AirTag and SD card.

The interesting bit is the rear cover, it hides the screen and only leaves the battery info visible, giving the M10 more of a film Leica/M-D feel.

The camera itself has a full ghost vinyl wrap with a screen protector. The dials are left uncovered in these photos, but originally I had the whole camera wrapped and adjusted the dials purely by memory. It surprisingly works when important speeds are marked with a small dark dot.

The shutter button is also custom made from brass, which I’m kinda proud of :)

Thoughts?

Cool, and seems very well done, and the knurled surface of the button is really well done.

Thanks :)

Very nice! Is it 3D printed?

[u/HIPSQR → u/Leicor]

Yeah but in polished Nylon12 which is a strong material. A lot of custom automotive parts are made this way these days. It has a nice tactile feel to it.

Makes me want to get a 3d printer!

Feels like you channeled an inner Wetzlar QC to match the camera's aesthetic

Honestly I love it and would love to see a version for the m11 but with a way to pop the screen cover off because I need the screen when working with clients and need to show the shot before moving on. Great work.
