I just got my first real camera which is a Fujifilm x100vi and I am honestly so scared of dropping it. I saved up for like six months to get this thing and it feels way more slippery than my phone or the old point and shoot my parents had. I was watching some videos on youtube and saw people using these little metal thumb things that go into the top part where the flash usually goes? I think people call them thumb grips or hot shoe grips but there are so many brands and I have no idea which one is actually good or if they even fit the same.

Sorry if this is a super basic thing to ask but I am really confused about the differences between the cheap ones on amazon and the ones that cost like sixty dollars. Like does it actually make that much of a difference? I am going to Japan for two weeks next month and I want to be able to walk around all day with it in my hand without my hand cramping up. I want to take a lot of street photos but right now I feel like I have to squeeze the camera so hard just to keep it steady.

Here is what I am looking for I guess:

• Needs to match the silver color of the camera perfectly because I am kinda picky about that
• I dont want it to block the little dial on the back because I finally learned how to use that to change my settings
• Budget is maybe fifty or sixty dollars at the most but cheaper is better obviously
• Needs to feel solid and not like it is going to wiggle around or fall out

I saw one called Lensmate that looked nice but then I saw a cheaper one by JJC and another by Haoge and now I am just stuck. Does the expensive one actually feel better on your thumb or is it just a brand name thing? I dont want to waste money but I also dont want a cheap piece of metal that ruins the look of the camera or scratches it. Also is it hard to take off if I want to use a flash later on? I havent bought a flash yet but maybe someday. Just wondering what you guys actually use daily...
