    Sunwayfoto L Bracket for 7D Mark ii

    Just wondered if anyone had one of these and could comment on its effectiveness especially does it allow the remote cable to fit through. Unfortunately my budget won't run to a Kirk so looking at less expensive options

    All comments appreciated

    this L-bracket is great - one consideration There is a notch on the side to allow a shutter release cable to be used. It would be nice it was a bit deep so the plug would be seated in the camera better, but it is usable as is. great price too

      Thanks for that - I guess there's always a reason why it is cheaper

          Read this, appears all is well and if needed you can move the bracket side outwards to allow access, I have a similar design on my 1DX by RRS as it allows me to have the GPS module on the side and use the L Bracket to protect it.

              I wouldn't necessarily disagree with the sentiment but £172 vs £50 fails the little cheaper test to me [emoji4]

                That sort of difference makes it worth the risk!

                    I've got a ball head from them and can confirm the quality I just needed a little hand holding on the design [emoji4]

                      Yes, I heard their quality has gone up rapidly from their early products, I suppose it is a good sign when all the other cheap versions on ebay say compatible with RRS, KIRK, Markin and of late Sunwayfoto, it sort of says you have arrived as a recognised standard.
