I find them VERY practical if I'm using the winder or drive. If you use the camara without a motor you can't attach the grip. The R3Mot grip and the one for the SL2 Mot are also good, but won't fit on other models. I've had, in my pre-Leica days, all sorts of grips that attach to the baseplate, nearly all of them were rubbish, the only exception being a Metz hammer-head flash where you attach a bar to the baseplate and one end of your strap to a lug on the flash, a beautifully balanced set-up, .
