SMALLRIGThumb Grip with Hot Shoe Cover for FUJIFILM X-M5 (Black) - 4878

Really happy with this. Adds much need stability to my Fuji XM5.

Seems quite robust. Helps my big mitts grip a little camera well. Not too bulky or protruding. Just the job.

I love the red accented shutter button. It looks great in person and feels of good quality. Same can be said about the the thumb grip, looks good and feels of might quality.The only reason I'm knocking a star off is that the hot shoe cover should have had a screw in top to make it more protective.

This accessory functions as an excellent thumb grip function.It fits perfectly so it was easy to install.The metal build quality is strong and well designed.It packs away without taking up much space.High quality Smallrig products like this are excellent value for money.Solid Metallic, Well Designed Thumb Grip.HIGHLY RECOMMENDED! AAA+++

Perfect fit on my X100v! I've tried cheaper thumbgrips before which didn't fit snuggly. This is a firm fit but also not difficult to remove. It keeps a low profile so the camera still fits into its leather two-piece case. I've put the shutter button on a different camera and again it's not as bulky as some I've tried and abandoned. Excellent products.

This Thumb Grip for the FUJIFILM X-M5 camera (Model No. 4877) arrives in a bubble envelope, with a SmallRig branded label attached. Inside the envelope is a sealed white plastic bag with the thumb grip and shutter release button inside.Both the Thumb Grip and Shutter Release Button are well made, and have a good finish throughout. Made of aluminium alloy, they are also both quite robust, whilst remaining lightweight,I have a lot of Smallrig product and am usually a big fan, but in this case I think they have fallen short of the mark. As other reviewers have commented, whilst the thumb grip works well for improving your grip on the camera, it blocks access to the Q button, and also makes more difficult to turn the rear control dial. And, instead of the top of the grip being flush with the camera, it raises above it slightly.The Shutter Release Button on the other hand is easy to install and works well.In conclusion, whilst these issues with the thumb grip might not be a deal breaker for some, they will be for many. I’m giving this 3 stars because it does function as a thumb grip well, and those who don’t need access to the Q button won’t be so affected by its design. But if you do need that Q button, or like to slide the camera into your pocket, then I would avoid this grip altogether.~ Ethics Statement: Amazon provided me with this product to review and asked in return that I give my honest and impartial opinion about it. That’s what I’ve set out to do in this review, so I hope you found it helpful. ~

+ made form high quality materials+ relatively easy installation+ thumb grip improves grip and protects hot shoe+ nice pattern on the top of the hot shoe mount- didn't see a black model, so it's only for silver one- won't look good with black X-M5

It does make it more comfortable to use, but be aware that once you put it on, its nearly impossible to get it off without breaking the camera.
