Hello from Norfolk in the UK.
Purchased a used Leica Q and am absolutely thrilled with the camera. My other camera is a Sony A7, one that I use for nightscapes of local historic buildings. Being able to set the aperture and shutter speed on the Q direct from the top plate is something I’ve missed from the Sony, which at times is like using a computer with the numerous menu screens.
I’ve not yet found a suitable remote release for the Leica Q, it has the USB port, but cannot see if Leica or a third party make one. If anyone has a recommendation, I’d be very grateful.
Thanks,

Hi Chris,
Have you tried using the Leica FOTOS app? You can remotely control the camera and use it as a release.
It’s worked alright with me for some night photography with the Q.
Hope it works out well for youbest,
RafaThe current version of the fotos app is a significant improvement over the original. The CL does not have any external ports. So I have to rely on it. It does get the job done. That being said, my tripod and head are meant for a heavier full frame / APS-C DSLR. I have not had any issue with camera shake when pressing the shutter release while the CL is mounted on a tripod. Depending on your tripod, you may not experience any either. I would recommend trying using the fotos app and using the shutter release button to see which works best for you.
