Product Information
Full details
The SmallRig Mount Plate for the Sony Alpha 7R VI is designed for professional photographers and videographers who need improved ergonomics and expanded mounting options for handheld or rig-based shooting. By extending the camera base, it provides essential support for the pinky finger, significantly reducing hand fatigue during long sessions. While it adds a small amount of weight to the setup, the trade-off is a significantly more stable grip and seamless compatibility with professional stabilization gear and tripods.
