How to Upgrade the Ricoh GR III in 2024 

There are mesh stickers to keep dust out of phones while still not impacting the audio in or output. So, if you want dust protection without impairing the audio part of your video then you can use those. They also look better then then a piece of tape.

Just got mine today! And actually did a small square duct tape thing on the holes. That's the tip I got from this video!

The best place to attach the strap is at the bottom of the camera, it keeps it out of the way, a small detail that makes a big difference!

good tips, good video... thank you... ordered one should be here in a few days 🙂

Great tips, thank you, Josh. May I add something: The lens ring comes off easily, but there is a very small screw at about 5 pm that you can tighten for a firmer hold. A replacement ring from JJC, for example, does not have this screw! Greetings from Udo in Hannover Germany

Really great little video!

Great Tipps, thank you 👍

Some good tips, I'll have to cover up some of those openings as well just to be safe. I bought a small Lowepro carrying case for my GRIIIx that would be the only other suggestion I'd add. Cheers from Winnipeg and a fellow Ricoh user 🌾🌾 Brett

Good tips, I've done most of these myself. In addition, I've added the stick-op JJC UV filter, which adds less than 2mm to the depth of the camera, but fully protects the front curtain. Use caution, though, if you need to remove it (as several RU-vidrs have warned about), otherwise you could damage the camera. Others have suggested putting the add-on lens adapter + filter on the camera to prevent dust, but that adds about 20mm to the depth of the camera, making it no long pocketable. I wonder, though, if taping the microphone and speaker holes has any effect on sensor dust, because I assume that these are separate sealed components within the densely packed camera interior. I doubt that the whole camera has one empty chamber, with the sensor and other components occupying the same cavity.

nice tips, i miss the old cameras that you beat the hell out of them and were like new, this camera is superb but soft as fuck

The control wheel on the back is also an entryway for dust according to some sources.

No link to the batteries and charger? 😢

Hi, do you feel something moves inside the camera?

I've dropped mine several times and its still going strong

Hello. Thanks for this video. I would like to suggest others GR3 users to attach the wrist strap not to the upper eyelet but to the lower one. Just try it. The hand fits much better.

I wanted to get a minimalist pouch to sort the problem with the dust when you place the camera in a pocket (which is exactly where I want to keep it sometimes) or a non-camera dedicated bag, but I'll just tailor and sew it myself, how hard can it be? I just don't know what fabric I can use so that the fabric itself won't shed dust... any ideas? Being water repellent would be nice too.

What is the brand of tape used to cover the microphone and speaker holes? Could you please link ?

It would be batter if they take off the video stuff from camera, and instead it put bigger battery, or do it smaller.

I find the thumb rest that attaches to the hot shoe a big help. This makes holding the camera easier. Mask On Nurse Marty (Ret)

Dust only comes in via the lens.

so they changed that. they give a spare battery and external charger
