There are mesh stickers to keep dust out of phones while still not impacting the audio in or output. So, if you want dust protection without impairing the audio part of your video then you can use those. They also look better then then a piece of tape.
Just got mine today! And actually did a small square duct tape thing on the holes. That's the tip I got from this video!
Great tips, thank you, Josh. May I add something: The lens ring comes off easily, but there is a very small screw at about 5 pm that you can tighten for a firmer hold. A replacement ring from JJC, for example, does not have this screw!

The best place to attach the strap is at the bottom of the camera, it keeps it out of the way, a small detail that makes a big difference!
That's helpful! Thank you.
Idk why I didn’t think of this lol. Just tried, does make a noticeable difference of not having the strap in your way while shooting. Also provides a bit more confidence in case of a drop since the strap doesn’t have a tightening function. Thanks for sharing!!
good tips, good video... thank you... ordered one should be here in a few days 🙂
Really great little video!
Great Tipps, thank you 👍
My pleasure!
Some good tips, I'll have to cover up some of those openings as well just to be safe. I bought a small Lowepro carrying case for my GRIIIx that would be the only other suggestion I'd add. Cheers from Winnipeg and a fellow Ricoh user 🌾🌾 Brett
Thanks Brett! You really capture the magic with your Ricoh. I'd love to hear if you have any additional tips and tricks for working with these tiny cameras. Cheers!
Good tips, I've done most of these myself. In addition, I've added the stick-op JJC UV filter, which adds less than 2mm to the depth of the camera, but fully protects the front curtain. Use caution, though, if you need to remove it (as several TH-camrs have warned about), otherwise you could damage the camera. Others have suggested putting the add-on lens adapter + filter on the camera to prevent dust, but that adds about 20mm to the depth of the camera, making it no long pocketable.
I wonder, though, if taping the microphone and speaker holes has any effect on sensor dust, because I assume that these are separate sealed components within the densely packed camera interior. I doubt that the whole camera has one empty chamber, with the sensor and other components occupying the same cavity.
Thanks for the info. There's certainly a lot of aftermarket support for this camera. I'll probably try a few more items in the coming months.
As for the sensor dust, I'm not sure the tape really helps... but it does give some piece of mind!
nice tips, i miss the old cameras that you beat the hell out of them and were like new, this camera is superb but soft as fuck
Those cameras are still around, this just isn't one of them. It may just come with the territory of building a small point and shoot with a leaf shutter.
Hi, do you feel something moves inside the camera?
No link to the batteries and charger? 😢
I've dropped mine several times and its still going strong
Here's hoping it stays that way!
The control wheel on the back is also an entryway for dust according to some sources.
Thanks for the heads up!
@@DOPJoshDiaz The bottom line here is that you shouldn't put the GR bodies in a pocket. They are pocketable cameras but they don't belong in pockets. Sad, but true.
@@thedarkslide After more than 2 years of putting it in my pocket or anywhere for that matter, including in that side door pocket in my car, , I have never had a dust issue. However, experience does seem to vary based on a number of reviews I have read.
@@kbstabs5982 Also, it depends what and how you photograph. You would have to stop down to see it very noticeably in evenly lit areas of the frame (e.g. the sky etc.). You have dust but never notice it because you never stop down that much.
Hello. Thanks for this video. I would like to suggest others GR3 users to attach the wrist strap not to the upper eyelet but to the lower one. Just try it. The hand fits much better.
Good call!
I wanted to get a minimalist pouch to sort the problem with the dust when you place the camera in a pocket (which is exactly where I want to keep it sometimes) or a non-camera dedicated bag, but I'll just tailor and sew it myself, how hard can it be? I just don't know what fabric I can use so that the fabric itself won't shed dust... any ideas? Being water repellent would be nice too.

Dust only comes in via the lens.
It would be batter if they take off the video stuff from camera, and instead it put bigger battery, or do it smaller.
I don't think many people use the video functions on this camera. I suppose it's nice to have for some people, though!
@@DOPJoshDiaz I mean video for what, for whom, it must be only for pfotografy, nothing else, like samurai sword, what is only for kiling.
What is the brand of tape used to cover the microphone and speaker holes? Could you please link ?
It's just standard gaffers tape. Can find it at most photo stores!
I find the thumb rest that attaches to the hot shoe a big help. This makes holding the camera easier.

so they changed that. they give a spare battery and external charger
