That’s, pound for pound, the gear kit I have for my GX85! (Give or take). The one big variation I have is the tripod - because I have an extension grip that has an arca swiss plate built in I replaced the tripod head with a screw clamp style arca swiss mount😊
Recently picked up a second hand IR converted GX80 my top bits to get wrist strap I use peak design clips so can use a wrist strap or neck strap. I also have a hand grip which I do agree does improve the handling I also picked up a thumb rest that you slide in the hot shoe not 100% on that yet but think it will stay on. I got mine in red which I think looks nice (the wrist strap is also red) . Two spare batteries with charger with USB C lead so can take that and power bank if think I will need it. Lens of choice is 15mm f1.7 all in a small shoulder bag I can stick in another lens if I want.
Well, I'm afraid you missed the most important GX9 accessory of all: the eye cup for the EVF - without it the viewfinder is pretty useless! And it's only about 20 Euros, very well spent money. Just a shame that Panasonoc doesn't deliver it with the camera in the first place - that is the reason the EVF gets so many bad reviews, it's their own fault!
I am missing the external charger (Panasonic DMW-BTC12) which enables you to charge one battery while the second camera is in use. Some people think this is old-fashioned, but I never charge the batteries inside the camera. I think it can cause damage to the camera!
It happened to me during a trip to africa. Some electricity pb, it burned my camera, my powerbank and my charger all together. Now I'm using an external charger...
Thank you for the recommendations, all good stuff. Did you happen to know any small-ish, portable bag that would only fit gx9 with the 20/1.7 attached? Thanks!

Thanks Grant just purchased the grip!
Fantastic!
USB charger is essential for me.

I'll probably end up having to get a grip, and the JJC looks like the one to get, except I wish the continued the grip handle up a bit higher.
