My old X-T1 got a new look thanks to JBcamera Designs.

 

Love it :-) ... and didn't expect JBcameras to even personalize it for me

Good for you!

 

The problem I have with this type of grip is that the whole thing simply serves the purpose of extending the front grip but has no other function for the base plate.

 

In other words.

 

Other  plates with front grip have the base (and side in case of an L plate) with a Arca-compatible funtion. 

 

Since this wooden plate doesn’t offer that ( and could although the design would need to be more complex) if you want to couple your camera on a Arca compatible head you need, at the very least, to add one plate.

 

Making it way heavier than it needs to be.

And it has the purpose to look good

looking good is important, I love looks, but it is hell of an added mass for good looks and only front grip.

 

Seriously all they would have to do is incorporate a shaped lateral rail gliding in the Arca and then there would be way more function together with looks.
