I just received my L bracket for my Canon R7 from SUNWAYFOTO. It works as described on their website. The model number is PCL-R7. It cost $49.95 plus $5 shipping.

Can I ask if there is any limitation to screen position please. For obvious reasons reviews are limited - I did find one on Amazon which was less than positive!

I'm not SEJ917, but I also bought the SUNWAYFOTO L-bracket for my R7.

Yes, there are limitations to the screen position, especially when you rotate it horizontally (to the left). That doesn't bother me so much because I seldom change the screen position, but it might interfere with your technique.

Thanks for taking the time to respond. When you say there are limitations when the screen is rotated horizontally to the left, are these the amount of tilt once the screen has been extended or some other restriction ? So far I haven't come across any online videos or reviews, which is probably not surprising

If you rotate the screen from its resting position, rotate it to horizontal, then move it all the way to the left, it winds up in the notch in the vertical arm of the L-bracket (well, vertical when the camera is in landscape orientation). At that point, the rotation of the screen is limited to around 45 degrees up or down before it hits the notch. It's not a big deal for me, and I'm not sure how else they could do it given the possible range of motion of the screen on this model.

Thanks for the clear explanation, much appreciated. Just got to try and source one in the UK now !!
