The FlexGrip for the M11 and M EV1, in OxBlood
Machined in Miami for the Leica M11 and M EV1, the FlexGrip continues the shape of the camera rather than bolting something onto it. The plate is where the engineering lives: an integrated Arca profile, a concealed AirTag module and a handle that comes off with one screw.
This page is the OxBlood finish on its own, at 73 grams.
- Fits. Leica M11 and Leica M EV1.
- Material. Aluminum, anodised in OxBlood.
- Finish. OxBlood, a deep matte red. Anodising is a surface treatment rather than a coat of paint, so it adds no meaningful weight: this grip weighs the same 73 grams as the chrome finishes.
- Weight. 73 grams.
- Size. 5.47 inches long, 1.9 inches wide, 2.7 inches high.
- Tripod. Integrated Arca profile for direct mounting, shaped to stop the camera tipping forward on the head.
- Tracking. A removable module conceals an AirTag beneath the SD card door. Photos still transfer straight out of the camera's USB-C port, faster than most card readers. Take the module out and the door returns to standard.
- Removable grip. One screw. The handle comes off and another goes on, so the grip can be re-finished later without replacing the plate.
- Internal padding. The camera rests on a silicone mat, which prevents scratches and stops the grip shifting under the body.
- Installation tool. A flat keychain tool designed by Gaston Shutters, with a 4 mm hex. It doubles as a box opener, so it stays on your keys rather than in a drawer.
- Origin. Designed, engineered and manufactured in Miami, Florida.
- Aluminum. 73 grams complete. The light one, and the one that keeps the camera handling like an M.
- The finish. OxBlood, a deep matte red. Anodising is a surface treatment rather than a coat of paint, so it adds no meaningful weight: this grip weighs the same 73 grams as the chrome finishes.
- Origin. Designed, engineered and manufactured in Miami, Florida.
- The finishA deep red, matte rather than glossy, which keeps it from reading as a bright accessory colour against a black or chrome M. It is the one finish in the range that is unmistakably a choice.
- A day of carrying it73 grams. Identical to the chrome finishes, because anodising changes the surface and not the part.
- On the tripod, then off againThe Arca profile is cut into the plate itself, so the camera drops onto a head and comes back off without anything being unscrewed first. The profile is shaped to stop the body tipping forward, which is where a long lens usually takes it.
- Knowing where it isThe AirTag sits inside the plate, closed from the outside. Nothing protrudes and nothing announces that it is there.
- FlexGrip. One, in OxBlood, with the handle fitted.
- EDC Keychain Tool. The flat 4 mm hex tool that installs the grip and opens the AirTag module.
- AirTag. Never included. Apple sell the tag; what we machine is the compartment it drops into.
- Leica M11 and M EV1. The Leica M11 and the M EV1. The plate is machined to those bodies, so it is not a universal grip and is not sold as one. The M10 has its own FlexGrip.
- The card door. The AirTag module sits under it and comes out entirely.
- Straight onto a tripod. The Arca profile is part of the plate.
- Handles are interchangeable. Any FlexGrip handle fits this plate, in either material.
- Anodized and chrome finishes. A dry cloth for dust, a barely damp one for anything else. Skip solvents and abrasive pastes: the finish is a layer, and once it is cut through it does not grow back.
- The screw. Check it is snug when you first fit the grip and again after a few outings. A quarter turn with the supplied tool is all it ever needs.
- What does it weigh?73 grams.
- Is an AirTag included?No. The compartment is machined into the plate and the AirTag is Apple's to sell. The module that holds it is removable, so the camera can go back to a standard card door whenever you want.
- Can I put the camera straight onto a tripod?Yes. The Arca profile is part of the plate, so no separate plate or adapter is needed and nothing has to come off first.
- Can I change the handle later?Yes. One screw releases the handle and another goes straight on, so a grip bought in aluminum can become brass later without replacing the plate underneath. The handles are sold on their own for exactly this.
- Which cameras does it fit?The Leica M11 and the M EV1. The plate is machined to those bodies, so it is not a universal grip and is not sold as one. The M10 has its own FlexGrip.
