Douglas/Tina,

I have the grip and the shoulder brace but I don't have the micro switch
release.  I use the cable release that came with my Leica bellow.  
The cable release also fit into the grip holder.  You can use the same
cable if you can not find the micro switch.

I'm presently motorless :( but when I used a winder on the R4sP, the microswitch and cord were very handy and I could generally hold it a bit steadier than when using the camera shutter release.
