    FotodioX THUMB-GRIP-B Reviews

    Super Tight Fit

    By Rusty
    Rated 3 out of 5
    Date: 2026-01-09

    The grip has a really good feel and has great support of the Pen-F Camera. Extremely tight in sliding it into the Hot Shoe. Also, the thumb grip blocks most of the Aperture wheel

    Doesn't Fit As Expected

    By Walter
    Rated 2 out of 5
    Date: 2022-11-21

    Although the Fuji X-E2s was listed in the compatibility list, this thumb grip impinges on the EC dial on that camera when it is fully seated in the hot-shoe, thereby making changing the EC setting difficult.

    question

    Is this a solution is search of a problem?I don't get it ...
    Asked by: Anthony K.
    I personally love it on my X-E1. I prefer the smaller size of the Fuji E-series bodies, but have large hands, so the camera is more secure (and hopefully less shaky) in my hands. It also prevents me from inadvertently moving the exposure compensation dial with my thumb. With the X-T series, I suspect you wouldn't need or want this, as it has an inherently larger grip.

    Will this fit a Nikon Df or FM2?
    Asked by: Jonathan
    The FotodioX Pro Thumb Grip for Select Compact Digital Cameras - Type-B (Black) is design for rangfinder style cameras. Nikon Df DSLR Camera and Nikon FM2 analog cameras have a triangle prism shape under the hot shoe, therefore the thumb grip will not fit properly.
