HotGrip for Leica M10, M11 & M EV1

The Owlkrown HotGrip is the first thumb rest that keeps your Leica handling solid while still allowing you to mount a manual flash or accessory. Unlike most thumb grips that block your hot shoe, this one doesn’t. It works seamlessly with center-pin manual flashes and is fully compatible with hot shoe-mounted optical viewfinders, giving you total freedom without compromise. 

The HotGrip is compatible with center-pin manual flashes. It is not compatible with TTL, HSS, Visoflex, or multi-pin electronic accessories. Some models will fit in but only work in manual mode.

Key Features
• Integrated Hot Shoe System
Attach the removable pass through hot shoe adapter to your manual flash, then slide it into the base of the grip. It locks into place with a click, no tools, no extra parts, just fast and secure mounting.
 
• Sliding Lid Protection
The built in snap lid keeps the grip’s electrical contacts clean and protected when not in use. When removed, the lid stores securely on the front of the grip, so you never lose it.
 
• Accessory Ready
Beyond flashes, you can also mount LED lights, microphones, or any cold shoe accessory that uses a standard male mount.
 
• Ergonomic by Design
The grip is angled to match your thumb’s natural position and provides added support in both landscape and portrait shooting. Smooth beveled edges keep it comfortable, even for long sessions.
 
• Built to Last
Machined from 6061 T6 aluminum, or durable solid brass construction. Designed and manufactured in Miami, Florida.

Material: 
Aluminum (Black Chrome, Silver Chrome)
Brass (Solid Brass, Black Patina)

The attention to detail on this HotGrip From Owlkrown is simply a work of art besides also being very functional. It is a SOLID block of brass that feels substantial in the hand and is very durable. When I opened the box and saw it for the first time it was like seeing an expensive piece of jewelry! When I inserted it into the camera’s hot shoe it fit like a glove, no wiggle, no gaps, just pure engineering perfection as if it was meant to be. They say aesthetics matter when it comes to camera gear and Owlkrown has delivered in spades, even exceeding my very high expectations. At the dinner table when I pulled out the Leica M11P, the Owlkrown brass HotGrip was the center of attention and immediately became a conversation piece.

David, thank you once again for taking the time to share such a thoughtful review. Knowing that the HotGrip exceeded your already high expectations is incredibly rewarding for our entire team. We designed it to be much more than a thumb grip, it had to feel like a natural extension of the Leica itself, with uncompromising precision, functionality, and craftsmanship. Hearing you describe it as a work of art and even a conversation piece truly means the world to us. Thank you for sharing your experience and for your continued trust in Owlkrown.

Overall is excellent. But the plastic pattern of sliding lid Protection was ugly.

Thank you for your feedback, Stephen and for taking the time to share it. The grooves on the sliding protection lid are intentionally machined to improve grip and usability, especially since this is such a small component that needs to be easy to operate in everyday use. This part is not injection molded plastic, it is precision machined from a solid block of Delrin AF 159, a premium engineering material selected for its durability, dimensional stability, and performance. That said, we truly appreciate your perspective on the visual design. Feedback like yours helps us continue refining both function and aesthetics.

Thank you so much for sharing this! We are especially glad to hear the HotGrip integrated so well with your setup and that compatibility with the Godox iT32 ended up being an unexpected bonus. Feedback like this is incredibly valuable because real world combinations matter just as much as the product itself. Thank you again for your support and enjoy shooting!
