This camera rig is a versatile, production-ready setup built around the Canon EOS R7 mirrorless camera, balancing high-end optics, reliable power, professional audio, and ergonomic handling for video and hybrid shooting.
At the core is the Canon EOS R7, paired with the Canon RF 70–200mm f/2.8 L IS USM Z lens, delivering exceptional sharpness, fast autofocus, and strong low-light performance in a weather-sealed, professional zoom. Storage is handled by two SanDisk 128GB Extreme PRO UHS-I SDXC cards, ensuring fast write speeds and dependable recording for extended shoots.
The camera is housed in the SmallRig “Black Mamba” cage for EOS R7, providing robust protection and extensive mounting points for accessories. Power is extended with the SmallRig VB99 SE Mini V-Mount battery (6800mAh), making the rig suitable for long filming sessions without frequent battery swaps.
For monitoring, the setup includes the FeelWorld FW568 V2 5.5-inch on-camera monitor, offering a bright IPS display for accurate framing and focus. Audio capture is handled by the RODE VideoMicro II ultracompact shotgun microphone, delivering clean, directional sound in a lightweight, camera-mounted form.
Ergonomics and handling are enhanced with a SmallRig NATO Top Handle Lite for easy low-angle shots and transport, along with a SmallRig rotating NATO left-side handle that improves handheld stability and comfort. The SmallRig foldable L-shape mount plate adds flexibility for tripod or quick-release setups and supports seamless transitions between shooting configurations.
Overall, this rig is well-suited for professional videography, documentary work, sports, and event coverage—combining high-performance imaging, dependable power, quality audio, and modular accessories in a compact yet powerful build.
