Review on ๐Ÿ“ท Neewer Camera Base Mount Bracket for Canon EOS RP: Microphone/Light Cold Shoe Extension, Tripod Mount, Vlog, YouTube, Live Stream Accessories by Daniel Aboubakar

Revainrating 2 out of 5

Good in theory but cumbersome grip

The body is mostly metal with some rubber grips that press against the camera body. Matching to the Canon RP body is pretty good when aligned. A quick cold shoe test is perfect for accessories. Nothing closes the battery/SD card door. At its price, there are plenty of reasons to love it. Unfortunately, the fatal flaw is that I'm less comfortable with it than with the camera itself. The main reason I bought the Extended Grip for my Canon RP was because I didn't want my pinky to curl under the camera body . I have big hands and on my other cameras I've usually used a battery grip, but I'm not a fan of those currently available for Canon RP that require an additional cable. I also wanted to avoid paying the full cost of the official Canon Extended Grip. Since the Neewer grip has a slot to keep the battery/SD slot door accessible, it ends up biting my finger a bit. No sharp edges, no risk of cuts, I just don't feel comfortable with it. While I can easily change my grip to accommodate this, I can say the same about the RP body itself. There are many things to like about the Neewer grip, but without a comfortable grip, this one is making a comeback.
