Concerned about the potential accidents due to the OM System OM-3's vintage design omitting a grip? OM System now offers additional camera grips and cases for purchase.
Check out the latest additions to the OM System OM-3's arsenal of retro upgrades! OM System, Japan's premier camera manufacturer, is now selling a selection of stylish and functional accessories designed to enhance your shootin' experience. Here's the lowdown on these bad boys, as exclusively reported by Asobinet:
First up, we've got the UN OM-3 Wood Grip, crafted from good ol' rosewood, boasting an ARCA-Swiss compatible bottom plate, and battery access. It's just the ticket for anyone seeking a grip attachment that doesn't cramp the OM-3's style.
Next on the list is the Leofoto LPO-OM-3 L-Plate with Grip, aka the L-bracket with attitude. This bad boy accommodates an ARCA-Swiss compatible tripod head and sports a small protrusion for added convenience. Made from 6061-T6 aluminum alloy, it pairs beautifully with the OM-3's silver top plate, creating a cohesive ensemble. Plus, the vertical bit is a detachable accessory, so you can rock that Leofoto look without sacrificing grip.
Moving on, we've got the UN OM-3 Camera Holder: It's all about classy looks, half-case protection, and a touch of grip. Made from Columbian leather and featuring battery, USB, and memory card access, as well as a tripod screw on the base, it's a top pick for folks who prioritize form AND function.
Lastly, we've got the Roberu OM-3 genuine leather holder & LeonCS strap set: This glamorous case is handcrafted from Vachetta leather, available in black, brown, or Camel. It develops a glossy patina over time (perfect for that vintage vibe), and includes removable buttons for quick access to USB ports, card slots, and the battery. While it may be missing the extra grip some may desire, it comes equipped with a strap to keep your camera secure.
Though I always hold off on passed judgments until I've given these babies a spin, these accessories seem like a winners for the OM System OM-3, especially since they're available straight from the source. So, if retro cameras are your jam, buckle up, because your dream ride just got a whole lot sweeter!
