[QUOTE="Bill16, post: 519727, member: 15356"] Oh I see from your photos your using it in your left hand when vertical! :) Interesting idea, but most of us grip users hold the grip in our right hand, so the controls in the grip are pretty important! The next reason for the grip for me would be extra gripping surface(which needs either a rubber or checked like a gun grip), and weight to add more balance to the camera which might be something you could do to improve your grip.:) I would suggest(since I love wood work) that you might try to model grip after existing grips, using a very nice grained wood like curly maple and a inset folding wingnut bolt, or coin bolt for attaching it to the camera. But for my personal needs and preferences, I only tend to buy OEM grips with all the extras, like L brackets for an example, so tripod use is made easy and stong with all the grip controls functional!:) But I do like your creativity, and maybe this left handed grip idea might take off with some photogs! I do understand that, since I use fishing reals that are left handed retrieve(like a lefty) though I am right handed!lol :D [/QUOTE]
