So, the ZF ...

Nikon is making gorgeous cameras. Birna, it looks like the foolography is "upsidedown" from the position I´m used to, does it change anything?

The new design can be freely rotated. The recorded data is the same

 Ok, thanks!

It's easier to rotate the device (inside the bracket) to fit, than to rotate one's head

Do note this version is using the USB-C data port to input GPS data, or control the camera, whilst power comes from the HDMI port. Remote control is via phone app, however an alternate basic release button is with the GPS receiver if you need the facility. After the initial, and dare I say complex, setup, in the app you can disperse with the phone app unless you need to run time-lapses and suchlike operations.

If anyone is looking for the Nikon grip, here is one on Japan Mercari. Plenty of companies/web sites that can help you buy from Japan Mercari …

Which GPS device can act as remote trigger? Can you use it also in CH mode to get multiple exposures or, is it similar to ML-L7 which is limited to single release? Thanks.

When the guys at Foolography get their act together, the new device should be able to control the camera remotely, setting up time lapses,  etc. etc. Their new design using the USB port not the 10-pin port necessitated a lot of restructuring and reprogramming on their part and not everything is working at present. However they are making fast progress, apparently.

Tiny blobs of Sugru on certain buttons greatly improve ergonomics.

Sugru on buttons gives them more heft. No more pressing the wrong button, or wasting time feeling for it.

It looks like you weren't satisfied with the ergonomics in a few areas Snoogly.
The shutter release too?
Anything else?

I'm not a Zf customer, but I'd try to add Sugru to the OK button, since on recent cameras  (Z6ii, etc) that button has been shrunken, and I have to push with my fingernail....which I don't like.

Any recommendation for a deeper eyecup? I do not like having to press my eye against the shallow one just to avoid ambient light disturbing the EVF reading.

The Zemlin one seems to be universally admired.

I just ordered one, and I found shipping to Japan to be cheaper ordering from the web site, rather than his eBay store. Depending on where you live, I'd recommend comparing shipping prices before ordering.
