OxBlood over solid brass, a limited run
Full grain Italian leather in a deep red, wrapped around a solid brass base plate machined in Miami for the Leica M11 and M EV1. The plate is where the engineering lives: a concealed Arca profile, an AirTag bay, two quarter twenty threads and full access to the battery, the card and the USB-C port without lifting the camera out.
Brass under oxblood is the pairing this edition exists for: 186 grams sitting low under the body, and a plate that warms and marks with handling instead of staying uniform. A limited run.
⚠ WARNING: This product can expose you to chemicals including lead, which is known to the State of California to cause cancer and birth defects or other reproductive harm. For more information go to www.P65Warnings.ca.gov.
Colour tone and texture may vary slightly from piece to piece, as the material is organic and no two hides finish exactly the same.
- Fits. Leica M11, Leica M EV1.
- Plate. Solid brass.
- Weight. 186 grams, 6.6 ounces, complete with the plate.
- Size. 5 5/8 inches long, 1 1/2 inches wide, 2 3/4 inches high. 143 by 38 by 70 mm.
- Tripod. Concealed Arca profile, flush at the bottom. The camera goes on a tripod without the case coming off.
- Threads. Two, 1/4 inch by 20.
- Tracking. AirTag bay machined into the plate, with its own keychain tool to open it. The tag itself is not included.
- Base. Anti skid treatment. You feel it the moment you set the camera on a flat surface.
- Access. Battery, SD card and USB-C, all reachable with the case on.
- Interior. Fully lined and padded. The finish of the camera never meets bare metal or bare leather.
- Production. Close to three days of machining and hand work go into each one, which is why only a handful leave the bench each month. Excluded from sitewide promotions.
- Full grain Italian leather. A deep red with a smooth finish and dark stitching. Structured, never floppy, it molds to the camera body over time.
- Solid brass plate. Machined in our own shop. It darkens as it oxidizes, evenly if you leave it, back to bright if you polish it.
- Lined and padded inside. The finish of the camera never touches bare material.
- Made in Miami. Cut, machined and finished in our own shop.
- The colourRed leather over a brass edge, and both of them move with age rather than staying as they left the bench.
- A day of carrying it186 grams under the camera, lined and padded, so the body never meets bare metal. Brass is the heavier of the two plates and the one that ages: it warms and marks with handling instead of staying uniform.
- On the tripod, then off againThe Arca profile is cut into the plate and sits flush, so the camera drops onto a head and comes back off without the case ever leaving it.
- Knowing where it isTrack your camera with an AirTag, concealed inside the plate. Access it anytime with the included EDC Keychain Tool. AirTag not included.
- FlexCase. One, in OxBlood with a solid brass base plate.
- EDC Keychain Tool. Opens the AirTag compartment in the plate.
- AirTag. Not included. What we machine is the compartment it drops into.
- Leica M11 and M EV1. Cut for those two bodies. The M11 D has its own FlexCase, because the plate is machined to the body it sits under.
- The case stays on. Battery, SD card and USB-C are all reachable without taking the camera out of the leather.
- Straight onto a tripod. The Arca profile is concealed in the base plate, so the head takes the camera with the case still fitted.
- Two quarter twenty threads. For a plate, a grip, a cage or a strap anchor.
- Let it dry on its own. If it gets wet, dry it away from direct heat. A radiator will stiffen leather permanently.
- Cleaning. A dry cloth for dust, a barely damp one for anything else, then let it dry flat.
- Conditioner. Sparingly, colourless, and never on the edges.
- The patina is the point. The leather darkens and marks where your hand sits. That is the material working, not the case wearing out.
- Do I have to take it off to change the battery or the card?No. The base plate stays on and the battery, the SD card and the USB-C port are all reachable with the case fitted.
- What is under the leather?Solid brass, 186 grams complete, against 78 for the same case on an aluminum plate. Brass is the heavier one, and the one that ages.
- How big is it, and what does it weigh?5 5/8 inches long, 1 1/2 inches wide, 2 3/4 inches high. 143 by 38 by 70 mm. 186 grams, 6.6 ounces, complete with the plate.
- Does it work on a tripod without coming off?Yes. The Arca profile is cut into the plate itself.
