The starter kit
The three things almost everyone buys first - straight to the listing for your camera.
Upgrades worth the money
Most GR accessories cost less than lunch. These are the few that cost real money and actually change what the camera does, filtered to what fits your GR IV. The honest trade-offs are on each one’s page.

Cheap tempered glass
by Any brand
Any cheap tempered glass does the job - these ULBTER 3-packs are the best-reviewed of the bunch. Just get the size cut for your exact model.
Genuine battery (DB-110)
by Ricoh
The genuine Ricoh cell for the III/IIIx. Third-party batteries tend to run short and fit loose - rarely worth the few dollars. Amazon dropped the genuine listing, so this one goes to B&H.
Cuff
by Peak Design
The default pick - quick-release anchors clip it on and off in a second.
In-box strap + O-ring
by Ricoh
Free in the box - a 30-cent O-ring makes the loop actually cinch tight. Lost yours? The leather GS-2 is Ricoh's genuine replacement.
Leather case (GC-11)
by Ricoh
Ricoh's leather case with a belt loop - per Ricoh one version fits the III, IIIx and IV (the Amazon title just predates the GR IV), and it still fits with a thumb grip on. The GC-12 is the fold-flat sibling.
Squarehood
by Squarehood
Gorgeous fit and finish, and the community darling - sold direct (not on Amazon). Model-specific versions now cover every body, incl. glass hoods for the HDF and Monochrome; adds some bulk and isn't cheap.
Genuine battery (DB-120)
by Ricoh
The GR IV uses a new cell (DB-120) and the BJ-12 charger - the older DB-110 won't fit it. Sells out often, and Amazon dropped the genuine listing, so this one goes straight to B&H.
Paracord strap
by Various / DIY
Light and cheap - buy one ready-made or tie your own to any length.
GF-2 flash
by Ricoh
Ricoh's own tiny flash - full auto on the GR IV; on the III/IIIx it fires manual/full-discharge (a firmware update adds auto).
Metal lens cap
by JJC
Rigid metal that protects the front element well.
Extreme Pro SD card
by SanDisk
The community's default card - the one people report just working, burst after burst, on both III-era bodies.
Wii remote strap
by Nintendo / generic
A cult favorite - cheap, secure, and the loop fits the eyelet. Plenty of generic versions online.
External mini finder (GV-3)
by Ricoh
Ricoh's own optical finder, cut for the IIIx's 40mm view. Superb glass, genuinely expensive, and it does not lock to the hotshoe - people lose these.
iM20 mini flash
by Godox
A tiny 31 g manual flash (single center-pin, no TTL) - cheap, pocketable fill. The iM30 is the slightly bigger sibling.
CineBloom diffusion filter
by Moment
The halation filter Reggie shoots on his Color Negative recipe. He runs 5%, the community's sweet spot is 10%, and 20% is the full dreamy bloom - the Buy button goes to 20%, the only strength Amazon currently stocks.
GW-4 wide conversion lens
by Ricoh
Turns the GR III's 28mm into 21mm with no crop and no image-quality complaints. Needs the matching Ricoh GA adapter, and it is not cheap.
Camera pouch
by Long Weekend (Moment)
Padded, light, and the style pick among the pouches you can actually still buy.
Metal thumb grip
by JJC
Buy the version cut for your model so it clears the dial and power button.
49mm filter adapter
by NiSi
Screw on standard 49mm filters. The III, IIIx and IV each take a different adapter (the IV's finally locks in place) - grab the one for your body.
Stick-on lens filter
by JJC
The zero-bulk option - keeps dust out with no added length, and one version now sticks on every GR body (removable 3M adhesive).
VF01 waist-level finder
by Ulanzi
28mm framelines (switchable 35/50) with a magnetic flip hood, so it doubles as a waist-level finder. A fifth of the Ricoh's price.
Wide conversion kit (PR-10)
by NiSi
0.78x wide lens plus the locking PR-12 adapter in one box, for a third of the Ricoh's price - and this adapter actually locks.
35mm optical finder
by TTArtisan
A cheap, well-made cold-shoe finder. Be aware the framelines are 35mm, so they match neither GR focal length exactly.
BJ-11 charger (DB-110)
by Ricoh
The official external charger - a fresh spare always waiting while the camera stays in your pocket.
Extreme Pro microSD
by SanDisk
The GR IV switched to microSD and ships with ~53 GB internal - this is the exact card the community landed on when the internal fills up.
Tahoe CS 20
by Lowepro
Under $20, genuinely protective, and the front pocket swallows two spare batteries.
Black Mist 1/4 (49mm)
by K&F Concept
The budget mist - about half the CineBloom's price for a similar halation-and-glow effect.
Small camera bag
by kinokoo
The budget pick - a snug fit for a GR plus a spare battery.
Tempered glass protector
by JJC
A named option if you'd rather not gamble on a no-name pack.
Triple charger (DB-120)
by JJC
Three GR IV cells at once over USB-C, for fifteen bucks.
