Not suitable for LUMIX G9…

I don't know which camera this is for, but not for G9. The watch faces on the top right don't fit and you can't even put a real camera in the cage and the cage isn't molded for Lumix G9 or even GH5. It would have one star if it wasn't for the build quality, which is solid and feels branded as a small rig. Don't waste your money on this, if you have a G9, waste your extra dough on a product with a small install.

Pros
  • Absolutely amazing!
Cons
  • Protection

Not very suitable for Panasonic G9.

I just got one of these, tried it on my Panasonic G9 but it didn't fit very well. Since it is a universal block designed mainly for GH 5 models, it has some disadvantages for G9. The 1/4 mounting screw on the bottom is only fixed to the camera with about 1.5 threads, which is not secure enough. The two jagged "arms" on the top rail barely touch the top center of the camera where the hot shoe resides, and if you're not careful they can mark the camera body. Having 2 nato side rails is nice but…

Pros
  • Easy to use
Cons
  • Frequency

Adds protection and flexibility G9

I'm a professional real estate photographer/videographer and I use my G9 for quick real estate videos. I'm constantly on the go and my cameras get thrown out of my bags multiple times a day. This cell now lives permanently in my cell. It offers a little extra protection for the camera, and two conveniently placed shoe mounts and plenty of 1/4" mounts make it very easy to attach my wireless mic receiver, field monitor, or whatever. As a result, it has sped up my workflow and significantly…

Pros
  • An absolute legend
Cons
  • Great price
