What is it?

A slim, protective shell for the original Leica Q (Typ 116) and Leica Q2, including its variants (inc Q2 Monochrom). It offers the grip and protection of a case without the weight, keeping your Q light and discreet.

Ideal for documentary work:

The Q series is a workhorse, and this case protects it from the elements of the street. The rubber-like material improves your hold on the camera.

Key Features

  • Smart "Pop-Off" Access: No need to take the case off! Simply pop the bottom loose and swing the case to the side for battery and card access. The case remains attached to the strap lug, so you can't drop it.
  • Sits Perfectly Flat: (Standard Version) Designed with a flush bottom so your Leica sits flat and stable.
  • Secure Fit: Uses our custom tripod insert to hold the case firmly to the body.

Choose Your Style

  • Grip Version: Adds a front grip for a more secure, fatigue-free hold.
  • No-Grip Version: The ultimate minimalist protection, keeping the camera as slim as possible.

Mounting Options

  • Standard (Quick-Release) Mount:
    Perfect for street and travel photography where speed matters. Our custom quick-release "bung" insert allows you to attach and detach the case in seconds. The camera sits perfectly flat on surfaces, and you have instant access to the battery and SD card when you need it. Best for photographers who prioritize convenience, speed and minimalism.
  • Tripod Edition (Screw-In) Mount:
    For maximum security and versatility. This version uses a traditional tripod screw attachment, making it compatible with many tripod plates, Peak Design capture system, and other mounting systems. Two screw sizes included:
    • 8mm screw: For direct mounting to the case. Clean, minimal, and secure.
    • 10mm screw: For "sandwich mounting" with Peak Design plates or tripod mounts between the case and camera. Adds 2mm of clearance for thicker mounting plates.

Material

Made from a special high-quality, rubber-like matte material.

Please Note

  • Safety: For maximum safety, always use a tether (neck or wrist strap). Do not rely solely on the case to secure your camera.
  • Safety: When using the 'tripod' version always make sure there is enough thread to securely mount the camera body, do not use if less than 4mm thread enters the camera tripod mount. Tighten fully and check regulary to ensure attachment remains firm.
