Q: 1. Can you attach the grip to the LCJRXFB Sony case? Will it interfere with the cover?

Q: 5. Hi is the steadicam Volt mounting bracket included?

A: The SmartSystem Matrix One Chimera Bundle (V-Mount) (B&H# SMART8563) comes with the hardware to mount a Steadicam Volt directly on the top stage. It's also possible to mount it under the top stage junction box, but the bracket to mount it in that way is not included. You can see the former option in the middle of this graphic, and the latter method on the left: https://bit.ly/3TyI7IB

Q: 6. What's the difference from the Extreme and the Pro version?

A: The monitor LCD holder is on separate rods on the Matrix Sled Extreme making it more stable. You also get some more adjustment options as to where you want to place the monitor.

Q: 7. Will this fit the new Sony RX100VI?

A: I just purchased the RX100VI to replace my RX100II. Surprisingly enough, the lens diameter on the VI is smaller than the RX100II. If anything, there may even be a little bit of space between but I'll find out. The camera definitely needs the rubber grip - it is incredibly slick and with the little bit of added weight it's unwieldy without it. I'm going to order it tonight and see how well it works and I'll report back.

Q: 8. Will this fit the RX100 V?

A: Yes, the AG-R2 camera grip will fit the RX100 V.

Q: 9. How does this grip attach to the camera? Can it be easily removed?

A: There is adhesive on the underside of the grip to allow it to attach to the camera.

Q: 10. I like that this camera easily slides into and out of my pocket when traveling, will the grip make this more difficult? Presumably it is made of a rubberized material. Or is it?

A: The Sony AG-R2 Attachment Grip is manufactured from rubberized elastomer and polycarbonate plastic. It will depend on the size and shape of your pocket if the Sony AG-R2 Attachment Grip will be able to slide easily into your pocket. However, if there is enough room in your pocket, the camera should still be easily accessible.
