Very happy with ECG-1

This morning I ordered a couple of extra 3rd party batteries from Amazon Japan for about $11 total. Also, ordered an Olympus ECG-1 grip for the E-M10 for about $44.

The ECG-1 grip arrived yesterday and it is great! Along with the better E-M10 control wheel positions (higher than the E-M5) the grip improves things a lot. Only cost $44.

I had tried the HLD-6 grip that costs $300 on the E-M5 in 2012 and didn't like it. The top part was all I was interested in, but with the lower E-M5 control wheels and the design of the HLD-6 I found that it was hard for my index finger to get at the rear control wheel while using the grip. I have to use my index finger instead of my thumb because I use my left eye and the E-M5 is so cramped up on that side. Never had to do that with any SLRs/DSLRs over the years. With the E-M10 and ECG-1 though there are no problems.
