I love my RX100 cameras, I bring them with me, everywhere, all the time. One thing I like about them is that they are complete systems out of the box, it's not like you can buy lenses for them. This doesn't mean we can't expand the functionality of these cameras in any way. These are my favorite accessories for the RX100 family of cameras:
- Cage - amzn.to/2HpGgC1 and bit.ly/2u44bUI
- Microphone - amzn.to/2XeFFKD and amzn.to/2xhjSq4
- Tripod - amzn.to/2S8A2JU and amzn.to/2Ehe9En
- ND filters - amzn.to/2lOlzYQ
- Wide angle adapter - bit.ly/2SuiDyo
And these are the cameras I have and use:
RX100II - amzn.to/2NdUyt2
RX100VII - amzn.to/2OfMN5c
RX100VA - amzn.to/2UZiJgm

Its funny, we all dream about having a capable, compact carry camera, yet when we get it, we bolt all kinds of nonsense to it which turns it back into what we say we did not want. Photographers are all crazy:)

[@ksmess]

you can buy a car to carry your camera. very compact solution.

[@CrispyJacketStudios]

We are 😂

[@comelachapelle8337]

Very funny😂😂

[@garethwilliams976]

Thanks for this. I have had a Mk4 for a couple of years and am amazed at the image quality one gets from such a small camera. I do not have a cage as I very seldom shoot video and unless one does one is compromising the main feature of the camera which is its size. I have always felt that the shutter in front of the lens is rather delicate and for carrying the camera in my pocket I bought a Hama lens cap both to safeguard the lens and as a protection from dust - all pockets have plenty of that! I now use the dedicated Sony case which though expensive is of high quality and fits really well. With the top part in my pocket I can now hang the camera round my neck. As I don't shoot video the battery life is acceptable but I have a couple of spares in tiny pouches attached to my camera strap. These are both accessories I would recommend to stills shooters.

[@boutthere3374]

Late to this video but I have the rx100m7 and have the same accessories. These are amazing little cameras and they are a pleasure to take on my trips for no other reason than small size. Loved the video.Cheers

[@mnixxon]

Super helpful video! Thank you for posting.

[@michaelbruchas6663]

I had a new old stock RX100 bought in Jan.2021. Dropped it in July. Cried. Bought a used RX100 model III and love it!

[@aows]

They are the best. Pretty good performance in such a tiny camera you can put almost everywhere.

[@circogalactico3820]

Super comprehensive and straight to the point, appreciate the way you present this info, this video was super helpful thanks!

[@aows]

Thank you, glad you liked it!

[@TheChadWork2001]

Thank you Adrian. Very informative. I have a Mark VII myself.

[@31Solvap]

Great Video! Very informative

[@warrenlange9160]

Very good info thank you!!!

[@lonceyswildcairns333]

Cheers so much and the comment above makes me have swcond thoughts now as a lot comes down to what time of day we'll be shooting 😊❤

[@ashuramamun9488]

Great guy, great video

[@Trendytripping]

Great Job!

[@LifeistooshortCK]

I already have the cage you don’t like. I don’t like it either as its hard to operate the power button. Will check out your preferred option. Thank you.

[@antonraumos6454]

Great information

[@aows]

Glad it was helpful!

[@pabloyagani]

Cool video!

[@majatv2629]

Bardzo interesujący materiał video

[@wvansluisveld3011]

Gotta love English subtitles... LOL. Switch them on and have a look at 5:28.

[@aows]

Lol, good catch

[@didge110]

hilarious - as aows said, good catch

[@DanielFonseca1]

eheheh, "fits in my backpack"... but not :-p

[@pace_of_mind]

Thanks for the video! Do you know if the Smallrig cage actually fits the RX100 M2?

[@jakeduggan3854]

A potable battery bank would be useful. I know when I shoot time lapses it has been very handy. I have a cheap 10,000 MAH battery that I plug into my camera when I know I need to use allot of power. Just plug a USB from the battery to the camera and never stress about running out of power again. Works fine with Fuji cameras and I'm sure it would work for Sony as well.

[@aows]

Very true! I use an external battery as well for timelapses or very long exposures. They work pretty well! Thanks for your comment.

[@jafari51]

Could you please tell me how can I use an external flash with this camera?, and which of the Sony flashes are suitable for Sony RX100 VII ?

[@artistjoh]

First accessory for any RX100 camera for me is a glue on filter thread. Second is Variable ND. Third is wide angle lens. Fourth is the L bracket with wooden grip. The DJI wireless mic receiver fits nicely on the L bracket. Nothing else matters.

[@madcat1007]

Do the glue on filter holders fit all models of RX 100? I have mark3.

[@mirandajunior2659]

What is the correct size of the adapter for sony rx 100? would it be 40.5mm?

[@Jgheiler]

I have the original M1. Can I hook it up as a webcam?

[@suechurchill2402]

The Gobe filters are 43mm, but you only have a 52mm, adaptor ring fitted . How do you attach the Gobe filters? Are you using a step down ring of some kind as well? Have you tried the Nisi filter kit for the RX100 yet? Thanks, great video , love your top 5.

[@keimmatteocamarda9263]

Mist filters and gimbal

[@delltek102]

why Zhiyun Crane m2 is not on the list ?

[@duongothuy8649]

The link for ND Filter is nolonger available

[@Campanecampanaridellavalnerina]

Is it possible to connect the camera to a zoom lens thanks to an adapter? in case what could be the compatible lenses?

[@aows]

I don't know about that. It'd be great, though!

[@skumkaninen]

What are the product you mount to your camera to enable you to mount the ND filters, I dont see that listed - or I am blind :-) Great video !

[@aows]

It's called "JJC RN-RX100VI 52mm Metal Filter Ring Adapter" on Amazon. Thanks!

[@VancouverMagic]

The L-Shaped Wooden Grip/Cage is now discontinued. Is there anyone else selling something similar? I have the 100-7 and really want to have a cold shoe.

[@pipandlee5566]

Would the wide angel lens work on RX100 VII

[@aows]

It does!

[@sebvz89]

La RX100 III vale la pena hoy en día sólo para fotografía? Saludos desde Chile!

[@aows]

Nunca usé la III, pero la II que tengo me encanta. Siempre y cuando sepas en que te metes con estas cámaras, claro :) En mi opinión la calidad es increíble, pero no puedes esperar los mismos resultados que cámaras con sensores más grandes y mejores objetivos. Para llevar siempre en el bolsillo es la cámara perfecta.

[@carlosnavarro4525]

Yo he comrpado la Rx100 1 hace nada, y es mas que recomendable, a precios de ganga si te la compras de segunda mano, la gente sale corriendo a por lo nuevo y siempre es una buena oportunidad para hacer buenas compras, cierto es que se hecha de menos una pantalla abatible y algún que otro detalle, pero como complemento y cámara para llevar siempre encima, es la leche, por lo que sin duda cualquier modelo posterior seguro será una buena elección.

[@didge110]

how do those wide angle lenses attach?

[@aows]

I have an adapter ring that glues onto the lens of the camera, offering a 52mm ring to mount filters and whatnot.

[@TerryRobinson1000]

Hi. Is there a fish-eye lens compatible with RX100 VII?

[@aows]

Hi, Terry. Not that I know of.

[@Megamare1]

Such an amazing little camera💯🤙🏽 but ... worst thing about the RX 100 vii is soon enough Sony prolly gonna release 👉🏽a RX 100 Mark viii 😳😛

[@aows]

Haha, true :)

[@wvansluisveld3011]

No worries, I am also a member of the owner of 3 RX100 cameras club because my previous two (Mk1, mk3 and currently a VA) died within three years. If you are lucky your current model may die soon and give you a reason to upgrade. Unfortunately Sony doesnt have real competition in this segment of cameras which is why I got a VA.

[@nutrl]

Any guesses on when, because I'm thinking of getting the VII but I feel like another one will come out in like 4 - 5months lol

[@makemystronger..freemegapi6800]

How to buy filter Adapter for Lens wide angle

[@aows]

How? It depends on where you are based, but Amazon is a good bet.

[@having-fun-while-i-can]

Does the camera work while it's being charged?

[@jackprick9797]

Yes

[@dorwojt8927]

Not by default, I think, since i saw a setting for it

[@carlos.bolivar]

did you check this wide angle? it seems to fit the rx100s? kzbin.info/www/bejne/qKecaaqbZtSljJo

[@ajayrrwt7272]

🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳

[@aows]

👍

[@projectb3117]

[@aows]

👍

[@Niberspace]

the video with the wide angle looks godawful, at that quality you might as well just use your cellphone camera instead, makes no sense to ruin a nice rx100 video with it

[@mardanananak]

The Mark 2 does not have a cold shoe. Please know what you are talking about before you start making video.

[@directorbones]

What is he showing on the camera at 2:12 then?

[@peterc2248]

My Mark 2 has a cold/hot shoe
