I came from the 5D4 and the only thing I miss about it, is the beefier grip of the 5D series.

Do you mean the standard grip or with battery grip?

I have the BG-R10 battery grip on my R5 and It is vey substantial to a point where people with smaller hands would find it a struggle.

To my hand the R5/BG-R10 feels much more like a 1D series than any 5D/Battery grip ever did.

The standard grip.

It's more of the "fatness" of the grip, rather than the height of it. The grip on the 5D4 feels chunkier.

I find that the battery grip adds additional weight and bulk so it wouldn't be ideal for certain situations like travelling or hiking.

That makes sense however, I feel if the grip was any thicker then the buttons under the thumb would be more of a stretch....... we’re all different and I guess from using my A7rIII more than my 5D’s the R5 is half way between the two which I like a lot.
