J.B. Camera Designs Pro Bamboo Grip for Olympus E-M5 - Handmade in the USA (This is for the MARK 1 Version) J.B. Premium Bamboo Grip adds improved ergonomics, increased protection, and unique look to your Pro Digital Camera. Due to demand of our handcrafted product - please pre-order and I will ship by the "Release Date" listed here. My Bamboo Grip is made of strong sustainable Bamboo and the vertical post is custom machined out of solid aluminum and then anodized to give a unique texture & professional look. Each J.B. Bamboo Grip Base is beautifully unique and over time, the oils from your skin and any dings will only add to the awesome look of the Bamboo Grip. J.B. Bamboo Grips are designed for full access to the battery and memory card compartment while attached. Tripod threads are also fully available through our custom Tripod Attachment Screw. Bamboo is a great material for camera grips because of its natural properties: incredible strength while being lightweight and the natural grain texture it provides for grip. Every Bamboo Grip I make is guaranteed for life and I stand behind this handcrafted, made in the USA (Oklahoma) product. Thanks! - J.B.
