Not exotic enough….and it better have at least some fabric on the inside to avoid scratches.
Canadian Prices
a7II body only C$1999.99
a7II w 28~70mm C$2299.99
C$1000,00 (or the same in any other currency) too much !!!
It should be covered in fine Corinthian leather, otherwise no sale. 🙂
You know, every time I pick up my A7 I think “if only there was an extra 5mm of bamboo hanging off the bottom of it”…
This grip represents everything that is wrong with mirrorless cameras. :]
Just one question. Why?
After all, bamboo is just grass with attitude.
Breaks the monotonous black & gives a place to rest your pinkie. My 2cents.
A solution in search of a problem.
I guess they are trying to beat Hasselblad to the punch 🙁
At 1/100 the cost of a typical Hasselblad designer crap.
Too boring. I’ll wait for a dust proof Hello Kitty silicon cover for my A7II 🙂
Honestly. I respect “designers” and people who want to personalize their gear – but this wooden grip looks brutally ugly, doesn’t it?
Just something else to make a cr@p looking camera even worse.
Can’t wait for the even worse and pricey Gariz half case! :-))
The hipsters will love it! Now they can have a camera that fits right in with their handcrafted bamboo bike fenders (a fixie of course) and their lumberjack aesthetic will lead everyone to believe they crafted it by hand. Of course, they’ll have to turn off their IBIS so they can rough it.
If it was made out of “Ebony Diospyros” wood then would worth the price.
Cheap little piece of bamboo for 65 bucks?
does anyone needs such a crap ?
What a pile of hideous looking junk.
This “how to hold your camera” photo says it all:
Does it come with a free panda?
Oh no…
I get my RRS L-Plate tomorrow or the next day. Finally, then I can take some pictures. 😉

Kinda pointless at this time but I have my L-Plate. It’s just great. The little slot on the grip end allows my usual sideways strap carry perfectly. The L part can be moved away from the camera a bit less than an inch and it makes video, not that I care, and it’s connections quite friendly.
Sweet piece. I have spent maybe $800 dollars at RRS, with my ballhead and the L-Plate for my Fuji, and have never felt even slightly ripped off.
Got to love capitalism. A fool and their money will soon depart.
Wow, I was going to rip this a new one but everyone else beat me to it!
Waste of bamboo.
Ugly and tacky. Who actually thinks this look stylish? Probably some naive hipster.
DSLR size here we come…..;)
I’m always fascinated by how many steps these products will have gone through:
I think we should make a base from bamboo…(silence)
Here’s my design for the base…(silence)
Here’s my prototype…(silence)
Please machine shop, program up the tooling to create thousands of them…(silence)
Here you are, stockists, the finished product…(silence)
Until finally, there you are Mr. Public, what do you think of this…Ha, ha, ha, ho, ho, (ridiculous nonsense!), he, he, he (lunatics!), ha, ha, ho, ho, he, ha, ha, ha, etc.
Why does absoltely noone say anything to put a stop to it, long before it ever gets to the shops? A complete mystery to me, even more than finding someone who would buy it!
I have a dark wood grip for my a7r. Looks better and actually makes the camera more comfortable to hold. Gives my pinky a place to rest. And not as big as the Sony battery grip.
This bamboo one is in the wrong color and exceeds the footprint too much. But its not inherently a bad idea.
You got it wrong. It’s rather like:
Chinaman:
The bamboo in my backyard is growing like crazy.
I should do something about it.
I will make some funny plates and sell them for 60$ to some rich white men
Rich white man:
Wow, this is a splendid piece of art. Such a fusion of technology and nature, I have never seen before! This… analogue feeling that this bamboo evokes… it brings back memories of my grandfather who… I have to order one of those. Right now.
