Helium Design Lab’s He11 Grip

Helium Design Lab is back with a new grip for the Leica M11, and it’s every bit as sleek and well-crafted as their previous ones. The He11 adds a front grip and a removable thumb rest without blocking the battery, SD card, or hot shoe. It’s made from CNC-machined aluminum, works with Leica’s Finger Loop, has a hidden AirTag compartment, and is Arca-Swiss mount compatible.

Unlike the Q3, the M11 uses interchangeable lenses, so balance changes depending on the setup. Helium fine-tuned the design to keep handling smooth no matter what lens you’re using. They also improved chamfering for a better feel and redesigned the strap anchor for Peak Design users.

The He11 is available now for $560, with a limited Silver Edition also up for grabs.
