SMALLRIG R7 Cage with Built-in Quick Release Plate for Arca Standard, Cold Shoe, NATO Rail and Threaded Holes, Camera Cage Video Mount for Canon R7-4003

This is the second camera I have bought a Smallrig cage for. There have been a lot of improvements in this time. The latest cage has cutouts for the remote control which the previous one lacked and the extra securing clips gives more confidence in the security of the camera

Love the extra mounting points and protection for my Canon R7 I don’t like the fact the access to the lens release button is very difficult to access with the cage on. But not a deal breaker.

Product does what it is designed for and very well designed also excellent value

A great addition to my R7 making it easier to hold the camera and offering some protection against bumps and knocks. Threaded holes everywhere giving options as to where many accessories can be mounted. Fits snugly around the camera and the plate section at the bottom is long enough for you to be able to stand the camera on a flat surface without it toppling over. It obviously adds a bit of weight to the camera set-up but in reality it’s not noticeable when I’m using it. Although 99% of the camera controls are easily accessible, the reason I haven’t given 5 stars is that the lens release button is difficult reach. I had previously read that this issue had been a problem for some people, but I also read that this new version of the cage had worked around it. It’s not a deal breaker for me though so overall I’m happy with the product.

This cage is spot on for the camera body. Very happy with it 👍🏻.

Good addition the the canon R7< beefs it up a little as the camera feels light and small compared to my 7dii. Great having a built in arca swiss plate (landscape only). Plenty of threaded addon holes for lamps mics etc should you need it. Access to all compartments on the camera without issue. removal of battery and cards are not obstructed in any way. Maybe Possible issues: The screws that hold into the camera strap slots came loose (one time only). It's a bit fiddly getting my finger onto the lens release button, however not overly hard but is slightly recessed behind frame. 4/5 stars because of the room for updated version to accommodate lens release a little better and a portrait swiss arca plate (not overly bothered as a good tripod will allow a portrait angle).

I have Smallrig cages on nearly all of my mirrorless kit; M6 to R6 and cannot fault them. However, there is a slight design fault with this one, the lens release button is impossible to reach with a finger, as the cage is so snug on that side of the body. Using my control ring adaptor on EF lenses provides a little relief, but it is not ideal. The use of a pencil is required to press the lens release button otherwise. I may have to take drastic action with my Dremel (which would be unfortunate, but necessary if I want to change lenses..) UPDATE: Smallrig have noted the points in my review and have been very supportive and helpful over the past few days. I'll post further updates as we progress.

photo 1 can not get finger between frame and canon 100mm macro lens.. photo 2 can not remove drop in filters when frame in place....photo 3 after taking saw to it all access now available

Facile à monter, étant gaucher je voulais monter une poignée a gauche pour une meilleur prise et plus de stabilité.

Produto de excelente qualidade.

Très bonne cage permettant de construire un camera rig avec accessoires si voulu ex : ajouter un moniteur , poignée , micro et plus Protège les côtes du camera , et permet aussi d’attacher la sangle à différentes endroits pour positionner le caméra. Je suis très satisfait de l’achat !

Perfekte Cage bringt der R7 etwas mehr Volumen und schütz die Kamera ohne das irgendwelche Funktionen schwer zu erreichen sind. Mitgeliefertes Werkzeug ist sehr hochwertig, Kamera wird dank Gummi an den richtigen Stellen perfekt, ohne Beschädigungen gehalten. Ganz klare Empfehlung.

Justo a la medida, la opción mamaba de SmallRig siempre es la mejor opción.
