Review: Excellent product - A very good fit. Easy to attach, well made and good value for money
Review: Fits like a glove and battery access is great - I was worried by other reviews but the bracket has a flip-out section that easily allows full access to the battery removal/replacement so don'y let that put you off (not sure if they had an old version or just didn't see the moveable section). Great fit, snug and secure with slide-out vertical section to suit your taste. I guess you could lose the little screwdriver thing but at least they offer the chance to keep it with you and you just need to keep an old penny with you to undo any screws that you really need (unlike others that require you to keep a "hex key" safe on a job). Typical smallrig understated quality and value - just brilliant

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ great fit, solid product from respected brand
*by N***L on 10 October 2025*

Wonderful, great fit, and of course once fired easy to use, not that fitting it is difficult, the 'spanner' is held in place under the frame with magnet so readily available if need to make any minor changes. Pity they don't do other colours
