Custom DIY Thumb Grip for your camera Using Sugru

[@azonphoto4197]

Great idea! Didn't even know such a material existed. I agree that the hot shoe thumb is problematic especially when moving fast. That was interesting video, thanks!

I dont own this camera, nor did I watch the video, but I have used Suguru for years for a variety of uses, & judging from the title & thumbnail, I have a good understanding of whats being done. That said, I would STRONGLY advise against relying on Suguru this way, it WILL 100% eventually come loose. Esp on such a small surface area. Its not a matter of IF, its WHEN. Camera Grip fails> Camera Falls > Camera goes Bye Bye. You're welcome in advance.

it always good to have a wrist strap or neck strap on any camera other wise it's just a mater of time before it get dropped. With or without sugru. Just had this camera with me on a trip pulling the camera up and down from my pocket so far so good. If it comes loose it's net the end of the world :) Cool product indeed working on a sugru camera hacks video at the moment.

@@Kim_Alexander Fair point! In that case, this is absolutely fine to do if there is a strap also being used. Suguru in my experience, when used on small areas comes off eventually, anecdotally for me, it took a year, I was using it to make a receptacle on my Cintiq for a Shuttle Wheel, which eventually came off. Basically if its used in a tactile/load bearing utility, it can come off. Alternatively, I have used Suguru spread over much larger areas for certain electronics, like Mice and point and shoot cameras for thickening certain areas for Ergonomic purposes, emphasis on very 'large areas' this way they are less likely to fall off (and so far haven't!). Just wish the stuff was cheaper, its pretty dang great!

Gasoline??? Rubbing alcohol wasnt available? 🤣 Interesting video though, very creative

[@Kim_Alexander]

rubbing alcohol and cleaning gasoline are very simular..the gasoline vaporise quicker and I often prefer that..

@@Kim_Alexander Woah, very interesting, okay, I appreciate you explaining that more!
