Re: [OM] The E-M1 arrived yesterday afternoon a day early from B&H

My after-market grip doesn't cover the battery well but I usually leave 
a Manfrotto quick connect plate attached to the grip and that does 
partially cover the battery well.  But the quick connect plate comes off 
quickly and without tools.
The E-M1 will not have this problem since the tripod socket is far 
enough off center that it doesn't cover the battery door.  The E-M5's 
after-market grip attaches to the body's tripod socket and introduces a 
replacement socket that's closer to but still not on center.
