Re: Smallrig cage for R7 questions ???

as an aside . . .

are you aware that, unlike its large bodied 1D predecessor, the R3 doesn't have a strap anchor point on the bottom RH end of the base. And that's despite the fact that Canon has designed the BG-R10 for the R5/6 with the anchor point.

Presumably the R1 will be the same - no anchor point.

I think I know the reason. The anchor point is recessed some 6mm and that takes up space within the battery compartment of the battery grips - space that designers didn't want to concede on the R3

I'm with you on the hand grips. I have three gripped Canon DSLRs and two Olympus mirrorless, all with battery grips and hand straps. So I too am waiting for a good solution for the R7
