big phill Posted March 2, 2016 Share Posted March 2, 2016 Loving my NX1......but I find it very "light" in my hands.....use to my heavier canon cam (w/battery grip) just wanted to see if people felt the same way....and would you recommend the battery grip. I prefer the extra weight...and would/does the grip make a substantial difference weight wise? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Super Members Mattias Burling Posted March 2, 2016 Super Members Share Posted March 2, 2016 If you dont like the grip, a cage is always a pretty nice way to ad both weight and functionallity. Remember there beeing a good one but cant remember the name of it. Phil A and big phill 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil A Posted March 2, 2016 Share Posted March 2, 2016 So far the CUBE NX1 from Motion9 is the nicest cage I've seen so far for the NX1 but it's sold out and I'm doubtfull it'll come back in stock when considering the current Samsung situation. Maybe keeping eyes open for a used one? http://motionnine.com/shop/cube-nx1/ big phill 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iamoui Posted March 2, 2016 Share Posted March 2, 2016 I'm always torn between using the battery grip with my NX1. When I first held the NX1 without the battery grip I loved how it felt in my medium-large sized hands, though there was a part of my hand (the pinky side) that wasn't touching the camera. When I bought battery grip my entire hand was on the grip and it felt perfect. It also added some weight and stability (also, easy portrait mode). I thought, "I'm never taking the battery grip off." I just couldn't see myself using the camera comfortably without it. After a while I started wondering if maybe there are times when I should be shooting without the battery grip attached (want to be unnoticed, street shots, traveling, etc.). I wondered if people are actually affected by seeing a big camera (with the grip attached) as apposed to without it in public. To be honest I'm still not sure! There are trade-offs. Weight, portability, stealth vs. stability, double battery life, more comfortable grip. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
giannis_ch Posted March 2, 2016 Share Posted March 2, 2016 What if you adjust your hand, so it is less angled compared to the camera. Does the pinky still hang? A bit like that : Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
