I bought my RX1 used with the original thumb grip, and it was a great improvement to the handling of the camera. Unfortunately, one day this ridiculously priced little piece of metal fell off despite the little securing lever, and was gone. I will never buy this thing at the price they are asking for it, and I have ordered this cheap little piece of metal instead, currently on its way from ebay..
I wish someone like fotodiox would make a similar version.
The original thumb grip which I lost has a locking lever which secures the grip. The lever is protected behind the grip which swings open to access the review button. I used to use this lever to secure the grip, so what actually happened I do not know, I believe the lever must have been accidentally unlocked somehow, maybe while putting the camera into or taking it out of my bag with the grip in review position.
