A list of the best lens hoods, screen protectors, cases, straps and more for the Canon G7X II.
For vlogging accessories, I couldn’t find as many great items for the G7X II as I could with the G7X III (which by the way has gotten a lot better with firmware v1.20).
But I did update the list with a couple few new cases and essentials.

Canon G7X II Screen Protectors
There are a lot of different brands of screen protectors on the market now, but still, my favorite is Expert Shield because of their lifetime warranty, and they do make the best screen protectors in the three styles they offer.
Expert Shield Screen Protectors
Expert Shield makes a few styles of screen protectors, crystal clear, anti-glare and glass. Crystal Clear is the standard thing screen protector you’re probably used to. Anti-glare is made of non-reflective material but it will reduce some of the display image quality. Glass is a thicker screen protector that stays on the camera better and offers the best protection. |
Available At:
Kimilar 3-Pack Glass Screen Protector
Kimilar has this 3-pack screen protector. While I usually like Expert Shield, I thought it would be good to list this for those that don’t have a lot of experience or confidence in installing screen protectors. You have three chances to get it right and these screen protectors are good. |

Best Batteries For The Canon G7X II
Their batteries that the Canon G7X MkII uses are fairly popular and there are a lot of great 3rd party options. I usually like to have at least one battery by Canon, then a few backups. My favorite 3rd party is Wasabi but there are other brands I use as well that also works great.
Canon Official NB-13L Batteries
The Canon NB-13L is the official battery by Canon. These official batteries are usually the best, and the most reliable, but also more expensive. If you just need a backup then the third-party batteries are also fine. |
Available At:
Wasabi 2-Pack w/ Charger
Wasabi still makes one of the best third-party batteries out there. If you just need some backup batteries this is the way to go. This two-pack comes with a nice wall charger and a car adapter. |

Memory Cards
The Canon G7X Mark II puts out some decent memory card write speeds for the class of camera it is.
I’ve tested the most popular memory cards in the camera to find the fastest cards. Check out the test results.

Lens Accessories
Because of the retractable lens on this camera, you cannot easily attach filters. However, if you still feel like you need one then there is hope, Lensmate makes a really cool filter adapter kit. It requires you to secure the adapter kit to your lens using some special tape they include. You’ll also need to get a UV filter.
Lensmate G7X Mark II Quick Change Filter Adapter Kit
Lensmate makes a really cool quick-change filter adapter kit for the G7X series cameras. They make some of the best camera accessories and I’ve been a huge fan of their gear for years. I highly recommend their products even though you sometimes pay a premium price. Here are a few options for UV filters. I even included a polarizer.

G7X Mark II UV Filter Mods
If you want to attach a UV filter to the G7X Mark II then JJC has a nice option here. The UV filter has a 99.5% transmittance value which is really good. |

G7X Lens Cap UV Filter Adapter
If you a lens cap with a UV filter threads so you can apply your own UV filter with a 49mm thread, then here is a nice option by JJC. |

G7X II Cases & Grips
The G7X II still to this day is a legendary vlogging beast so I’ve added a few really cool accessories to give the camera extra support for mics, lights or gips.
Silicone Case
BolinUS makes a fun Silicon Case for the G7X II. So if you’re looking to make your camera a little more rugged, this is a great option. These cases generally stretch out and wear out over time, so you might need to replace them from time to time. |

Camera Bags
I have the Mover 20 so I can fit both my Sony A7rII and a G7X sized camera at the same time. However, if you’re looking to just hold the camera and not too much else, the Mover 5 is great.
Think Tank Mirrorless Mover 5
These are great little bags if you want to hold the G7X and a few little items. The camera won’t be super snug in here, there are better cases for that, but this case or the Mirrorless Mover 10 might be the best if you’ve built a little vlogging rig out fo the G7X II. |

Cleaning Supplies
There aren’t too many cleaning supplies you’ll need for this camera since it has a fixed lens. However, you can still keep things clean and pretty with microfiber cleaning cloths. I’ve also listed the Rocket Air cleaners because they are always handy to have to get the dust out of small places or off your screen when applying a screen protector.
(6 Pack) MagicFiber® Premium Microfiber Cleaning Cloths
I always keep a Rocket Air around to blast out any dust from those small hard to reach edges. Q-tips can be nice. I’m sure you have some in your bathroom so I’m not going to list Q-Tips on a camera accessory page.

Hopefully, you found this list useful. I’m still looking out for some better vlogging accessories since so many people love using these little cameras as travel do-it-all machines.
If you think I missed anything let me know.
