GH1: A Grip in variations

Hi all . I would like to show you my "Grip-Support" for the Panasonic G1/GH1.

If you take hold the Panasonic G1/GH1 solid with your right hand (especially plying with the left hand at the lens), you often push unmeant one of the buttons on the lower right side ot the camera.

To avoid this and to get more mass to grasp the device I build a kind of grip for my G1 .

Translation:
Abstützung = support
Daumenkuppe = tip of the thumb
Daumenseite = side of the thumb
Daumenballen = ball of the thumb
Handfläche = palm
Kleiner Finger = pinkie

Later I got a GH1 too, so I made some more variations.

LOVE IT. where can I buy one? Since no one is making a battery grip for this camera, this is the next best thing...and its beautiful! My hands are too big for this camera. Nice work BTW.
 
Good thinking. For on street shooting, where you need to be discreet, set ups like this are the way forward.

Thank you for the praise

Sorry. Nobody can buy this. Because it is a very hard job for me to build it.

I showed all the variations here, to give a suggestion to do it yourself.
