A7RII FLICKR GALLERY UPGRADE

For less that $30, it is a hard bargain to pass up on. This setup is so effective, I often bring two dual chargers with me at once, allowing me to charge 4 batteries with ease at any given moment. While costly, they have incredible CS and are made of the best material (manufactured here in the US as well). While there are few options in this space, I prefer the RRS brackets. No more having your tripod lean over to the side when you want to shoot vertical images anymore! The good news…if you own the Sony a7II, the a7rII has roughly the same exact body style, allowing you to swap your L bracket between the two. This handy little add-on allows you to easily move your camera from vertical or horizontal with ease while working with a tripod that accepts the “arca swiss” standard. One of my favorite accessories for any camera, let alone the a7rII, is an L bracket. Here is a short list of a few of my favorites.

Like with most cameras, there is a handful of accessories that you can optionally purchase that may or may not make your life exceptionally easier when it comes to picking up the Sony a7rII. Regardless, I feel confident that the a7rII can handle some nasty weather although I personally wouldn’t let it get hit by an ocean wave if I had a choice 🙂 Handy Accessories for the a7rII This is surprising because I am often working in far more extreme environments than 99% of photographers out there. While there are certainly stories of Sony a7 bodies getting damaged by water on the internet, I personally haven’t had a single issue.

While the a7rII is not weather/water-proof, it did get an upgrade in the weather sealing department. Lastly, we need to talk about weather sealing. It still doesn’t have touch support, but does come in handy when you find yourself using the camera at an extremely odd angle. Like the last generation, the a7rII comes with a tilting rear LCD screen. The first generation body was prone to scratches and it looks like that is no longer the case. It also doesn’t hurt that Sony updated the magnesium alloy body that not only looks great with its textured matte black finish but feels like it can take more of a beating.

The weight increase, while not a significant amount, does make the camera feel a bit more solid. The grip itself is much more pronounced now, making it easier to to hold on to. But while all this sounds fine on paper…the real question is how does it actually feel in your hands? How does it handle? Personally I LOVE the new ergonomics found in the second generation line of mirrorless bodies from Sony. In fact it is so similar, that you can easily switch L bracket plates between the two (If you don’t know what an L Bracket is don’t worry, I will cover it later in this review). The new body style not only mimics the second generation a7II, it is virtually identical (.6mm difference).
