When using a heavy or large telephoto lens, adjust your grip position from time to time to avoid applying pressure to one spot for an extended period. This can help reduce discomfort in the palm.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eInstallation note:\u003c\/strong\u003e This version retains the locating-post design. During installation, first align the grip with the camera's battery door opening. The locating post is positioned next to the embossed marking. Seat the locating post into the hole on the camera base, then confirm that the grip does not slide on the camera base before tightening the base screw. Tighten the screw firmly enough that the grip does not rotate when you twist the grip and camera body together.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow much does the FOGRIP Folding Grip weigh?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nThe complete grip weighs 77.2 g, less than half the weight of a smartphone.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCan I replace the battery with the grip installed?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nYes.

Strap-mounting points are provided on both sides. If the optional 4.5 cm side plate is installed, it also provides dedicated mounting points that support PD clips and thin strap cords. Used together with the wrist-strap hole on the right side of the grip, the lens naturally hangs downward, helping prevent the outward-facing lens collisions that can occur with the original strap mounts. The wrist-strap hole is compatible with STC antibacterial plant-fiber wrist straps and camera straps.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat is the shaped component at the front of the grip, and what does it do?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nIt fills the gap between the camera body and the grip to improve handling comfort.
