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.
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!
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'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.
USB charger is essential for me.

I never leave home without an external battery.
