Top 3 must have accessories for the Panasonic LUMIX G9 

I have the GH5 and the battery grip. I didn't even think to store the leads protector with the grip; didn't even notice the slot for it until you mentioned it for the G9. That handy little tip alone was definitely worth the price of admission. That was gold. Thank you.

Thanks for the video. For the screen, I use an old mobile phone, the one before the last one. If someone bumps into me - I'm 6'3" and rather large build, yet they still don't see me - and knock the phone off, it's not the end of the world if it breaks. I was once pushed into the corner of a building and damaged my gimbal, and the phone fell on my foot and bounced away. Still works. I use a Smallrig mount. Expensive, but good quality.

Good one. And now with the G9 firmware update 2.0 the video is even closer to the GH5. and I do prefer the body of the G9. best of both worlds! nice joby accessory great run and gun set up. Auto focus is good enough, low light still tough unless you are doing tripod and static subjects. But that is the sacrifice with MFT I am fine with. final thought, a speed booster and some good old fast primes ( i inherited a Nikkor 85mm f1.8, with the metabones speedbooster I can get a lot of light to the sensor) There is a lot of heavy glass in those great old vintage primes. thanks for great vid

Absolutely fantastic little tips there Daryl! Thanks so much! Looking forward to your future content. I'm plaything with my G9 now 😁

Excellent quick review of some good products to accesorize the Panasonic Lumix G9. Well done. It is greatly appreciated.

Darryl, that was abs brilliant. Just what I needed, I've just ordered the G9 and I'll definitely be buying these items. Great job.

Mind Blown! thanks for sharing these accessories!

Great video....one question.....does the RRS bracket fit the camera with the battery grip attached? Thanks

Great video. For the RRS L-Plate, do i need a tripod of the same brand for compatibility ?

Good video, I like that l bracket!

Hi, Could you please send a link for the piece you used with Joby GripTight Pro Smartphone Mount to make it possible to mount on G9 ? thx

I do understand that this is an old video. However, my question if you wouldn't mind answering if possible, is will the slide rig allow for an extra mount plat on the bottom to be used together with the Peak Design camera capture plate. I really like the idea of what you have, but I am a deep backcountry wilderness landscape and nature photographer, and the capture plate locked to my backpack strap is an absolute must. Do you see a way that they could be used simultaneously? Thank you.

Darryl, I’ve been a Panasonic user mainly the GH4 and the G7. I do 50/50 photo and video, and recently began doing more portraiture and fashion photography. I was tired of the soft images coming from the Panasonic’s and I recently “upgraded” to the Sony A7iii...and although the images are absolutely stunning coming out of the A7iii, I just can’t LOVE it the way I LOVED using my GH4! How would you compare the G9 to the other big cameras like the A7iii and the new Nikons? Thanks mate! Adam

can you put the plate and the batterie grip together ? if you can would be great

Thanks, looking forward to the 50-200mm lens review.

Have you tried the SmallRig L-bracket for the G9?

Awesome video) thank you!

can you sit the camera on its lense with the 50-200 lens?

You've made my day!. Thank you! For people traveling\hiking those accessories are invaluable.

Can you use that cage with the grip attached?

Hey do you still have the G9 ? i just sold my G85 today i'm looking to get one, maybe i could buy it from you, im just starting as a filmmaker ;) ? let me know

I like the choice of accessories

Can you use the L plate with the battery grip

Did you ditch this for the Nikon??

Great video!

love your vid, unfortunately I got a G81.

How are you sending the video to phone? Bluetooth or wire?

Nice setup.

Thanks but maybe I can't understand something. What's that little mount thing you use to attach the JOBI to the camera called? Does it attach to the flash shoe? Tx.

Sooo keen to hear that 50-200mm review. Im loving my G9 so far. An excellent companion for the GH5! Also, are you heading to the workshop event at the Metro Gallery at the start of June? Would be awesome to meet you!

Thanks for this. I have just bought the G9 and i am totally new to all of this although used to do video stuff over 15 years ago! What was the name again of the (colshy mount) which attached the joby mount to tothe tp of the camera? Did I hear that right and does that come with the Joby or do I need to buy seperately? Also Is there softwatr to use my phone as a monitor (I have a Samsung S8+? Thanks in advance. Bobby

Just watched you 3 must have video and wondered if the L plate will fit with the battery grip in place.

Do you monitor on the iPhone via WiFi or Bluetooth using the Panasonic image app? Is it possible to connect via HDMI to the iPhone or Samsung Galaxy to avoid draining battery on WiFi

Great video - everything was very concisely described. I finally stopped getting body-specific L-brackets and got the arca-swiss compatible 3-Legged Thing bracket, which I use with my G9 as well as EM1M2 and Sony RX1R2. Also, I have my eye (pardon the pun) on the DMW-EC4 extended eyecup accessory, which I'm hoping will do a better job of blocking stray light getting into the EVF versus the standard eyecup that came with the G9.

Hi. I'm just watching your vlog. What brand mini tripod is that?

I have the Lumix G9, so far have enjoyed filming with it, except having to manually zoom in and out while filming. I've been researching different manual or Servo gear driven Zoom controllers on the market. So far I have only come across a few that might work. I film a lot of nature and landscapes using the zoom feature. Are there any quality servo or manual zoom controllers for Panasonic Lumix lenses that you know of that can get the job done in a smooth fluid fashion without braking the bank?

How do you get the video signal to your smartphone? The Panasonic App is trash as far as i know?

Nice Video, who makes the mini tripod?

What is the advantage of using the iPhone over the fully articulated LCD screen?

Where can I find the small tripod ？

I didn't see a link for that little tripod you were using and didn't catch the name.

I've heard that the IBS is better on the G9 compared with the GH5

The G9 can be "conned" into producing 6K video if using 250MB/s cards..

How does the phone become a monitor exactly? via bluetooth? Can you control aperture and shutter speed from the app?

Do you remove the grip each time, to charge the battery in the body? Or just charge via USB C? Because it seems like it would be a pain in the butt removing all the time.

Brilliant advice!

Getting my G9 tomorrow. Looking forward to trying it out! Getting a little fed up of Sony Alphas colour, so thought I'd try something different. Wish me luck :)

If anyone has found a 3rd party grip for this camera, I'd be super happy to hear about it. I haven't been able to find one, and for $400, it's outta' my range right now.

Too bad no one appears to have made a L bracket for the G9 with the grip attached :-(

Holy WOW , fantastic, this just helped me decide on which size iphone to upgrade to. Thank you : I dont see the link for the smart phone holder, like to give you some props.

are you telling me I can take any smartphone and use it is a monitor? instead of buying an external monitor?

what is going on with the way the camera is picking up his shirt?

Sorry, it is maybe your accent but what did you call the Zoom mount, a culture(?) mount.?

Whats your favourite accessories for the Panasonic LUMIX G9 camera..........

I have this camera too, however the only downside I don't see mention on most reviews is it only goes down to 200 ISO as appose to my 850 that will go down to 64 ISO, lower IOS less noise..what do you think??

lol great vid

$150 for a piece of aluminum? You must be kidding! The L-bracket should be $30 tops! The Panasonic Image App is a very bad alternative to a HDMI monitor due to the resolution and delay. I would only use it for stills, for videos it's too much guesswork.

Looking to buy the RRS plate for the G9! If anyone has one, PM me!

Like your reviews and I wish you success with your channel. That said, you can take what I'm about to say either as a nit-picking comment OR as a helpful suggestion. I think you can increase the number of followers choosing to subscribe to your channel by avoiding mistakes that make you appear less erudite and therefore more credible. I listened to your description of the L-Plate several times, and I don't think it's a matter of my being unfamiliar with a N.Z accent that I distinctly heard you you say "bullet" aluminum. It's actually -billet- aluminum, which is used to describe metals that are used to machine parts from rather than casting. Copper, iron, titanium and many other metals can be had in billet form. Hope you take this comment in the helpful spirit it was intended, and just to let you that I think, otherwise, your reviews are quite good, I will subscribe.

50% chance? I’d say 90% it’ll land lens down with such a heavy lens

The smallrig L-bracket is better and cheaper at $69 dollars

Battery Grip is way off in cost...ridiculous!

That echo

You sound pretty English for a Kiwi

Bro fix the ECCO in that in that room, its hard to watch your videos

Buy an American - car - electronics - We don't make anything anymore really...

too much echo in the studio. you should invest in some foam

So let's make a smaller sensor camera to have smaller lenses. Now let's make it just as big as a full frame and make the lenses just about as big too... WHY PANASONIC? You know what these cameras are good for? Buying them second hand for 30 % of the original price. That's what.

Calm down take a deep breath and speak slow.

150 bucks for a L fucking plate??!!

must have? 狗屁！

Quite funny how all of these items are so far from "must have"

Well, all I can say is that your choices seem ridiculous to me (also a G9 owner). So sorry I wasted my time watching.
