A list of the best lens hoods, screen protectors, cases, straps, and more for the Canon G7X II. As this camera ages many of the custom accessories are no longer in production. However, all the basics are still made today.
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).
G7X Mark II Best Accessories | 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. |
Best Batteries For The Canon G7X II
The 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 work great.

Canon Official NB-13L Batteries Available At: Amazon / Adorama 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. |
|
Wasabi 2-Pack w/ Charger Available At: Amazon 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 Available At: Amazon Lensmate makes a 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. Tiffen 52mm UV Filter: Amazon B+W 52MM UV Filter: Amazon Tiffen 52mm Polarizer: Amazon |
G7X II Cases & Grips
The G7X II was a legendary vlogging beast but there aren’t many special grips and cases left for this camera. To protect the body of your camera to keep it going for a few more years, here is Silicone Case custom made for the G7xII.
Silicone CaseAvailable At: Amazon 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 5Available At: Amazon 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 of 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 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.

The Canon G7X II is an older camera now but still very capable. This list shows you some of the best essential accessories for the Canon G7X II that you can still find. Many of the custom accessories have been discontinued, but the basic ones like batteries, straps, and memory cards are still available and have improved over the years.
