Leica HG-SCL6 multifunctional handgrip ($995: Adorama | B&H Photo):

Perfect grip, even for one-handed photography in portrait format. It provides an additional shutter release, a joystick control for autofocus, and a compartment for a second battery. An optional extra for the Leica SL2 handgrip. The high-quality handgrip strap for an even safer and more stable grip on the camera when shooting.

Leica RC-SCL6 remote-release cable ($175: Adorama | B&H Photo)

The remote-release cable enables vibration-free shutter release, for example for time exposures or multiple exposures for HDR images. It also offers a shutter release lock as a perfect aid when shooting in bulb mode (B), with which exposures of up to 30 minutes are possible.
