p.1 #1 · p.1 #1 · Leica Q Tipping Forward


Really enjoying a lot about the Leica Q. One thing that I am not enjoying is that the camera tips forward on the lens or the hood. The camera is simply unbalanced. Has anyone found a case that gives it the right amount of counter balance to keep it sitting on the bottom?

I have the LIM case and i think it still tips forward. The built-on 'lux just protrudes that far out to keep out of balance

The Leica grip will make the camera sit on it's base.

Actually just playing with it now. The LIM case sits fine.

Why does this matter or affect your enjoyment of the camera ? When I have a lens on my DSLR bodies they tip forward too. The Q has a fairly large lens for its body size.

Cameras likely aren't designed to counter balance perfectly flat. Does the "tipping" in any way make the camera more difficult for you to shoot with it ?

It has nicked up the lens barrel a little and although I understand it on a DSLR on a fixed lens I would expect it to be engineered not to do that. Not huge deal, but yea bothersome.

When not using...I lay it flat on its back.

the knob on the lens that allow you to manual focus pull the weight down. Without that, the camera wouldn't tip forward. Both Q grip and Lim case would balance it out.
