Sony’s new entry-level full frame A7c is quite a versatile little camera, especially for its size. Making it a great little camera for both photographers and videographers, if used with the right accessories.
This is a list of some of my favorite accessories that are available for the Sony A7c. You probably already have some of these or have seen them, but there might be a few items you may have missed that you might find interesting or useful.

Sony A7c – Amazon / Adorama / B&H
1. Batteries For Sony A7c
Battery life in the Sony A7C is actually pretty good and you could probably get by most of the time on one battery. If you’re not shooting long days, you could get by with just the battery that comes with the camera and a cheap third-party backup. If you’re using the camera a lot for video or professional photography, it might be a good idea to have two official Sony batteries, just in case, any future firmware comes out that cripples the third-party batteries like we’ve seen Sony do in the past.
Official Sony Batteries
Official Battery Sony NPFZ100
Available At: Amazon / Adorama / B&H The Official Sony NPFZ100 batteries run at 7.2V with a 2280mAh, which is rated a little better than the third-party options right now. These Sony batteries now use a iNFOlithium technology and some of the Sony cameras can tell you the overall health of the battery. |
Third-Party Batteries
Wasabi Third-Party Battery
Wasabi is the best third-party battery for the Sony A7c. They are a company in California and their batteries are made in China. These are rated at 7.2V and 2000mAh which is a little under what the official Sony batteries are rated at. These batteries also have a decoded chip similar to the Sony iNFOlithium technology which shows how many charges the battery is good for. |

2. Memory Cards
The Sony A7C can take a single UHS-II memory card there are v90 cards and v60 cards, and each card is going to give you a different experience depending on how you’re using the camera. Most people will be fine with a v60 UHS-II memory card. Check out this guide to see which cards are currently the best for different situations. If you just want the fastest memory card for the Sony A7c, grab the Sony G V90. Sony G V90 UHS-II – Amazon |
3. Screen Protectors
There are a lot of screen protector options out there, from crystal clear, anti-glare, or glass. PCTC has been around for a while and they are a solid option. If you want an anti-glare you can special order an ExpertShield of B&H photo.
PCTC Glass Screen Protector
Available At: Amazon PCTC makes a glass hard screen protector for the Sony A7c. This pack comes with three, so you have a few tries to get it right if you’re not good at installing screen protectors. If you get it right the first time then you’ll have a few backups which is why this pack is nice. |
4. Body Cases & Rigs
Lim’s Half Leather Cases
Lim’s makes my personal favorite half case for these mirrorless hybrid cameras. The quality of the leather is great, the build overall is great and the base plate works with arca swiss tripods. If they are available I highly recommend them for those that want a leather half case for the Sony A7c. |
Silicon Case
With the size and versatility of the Sony A7c, sometimes it can be fun to fully protect the camera with one of these silicone cases. These eventually do wear out over time if you’re using it full time, but if you’re going somewhere where you intend to be a little rugged with your camera these can be nice to have around. Plus they really help with the grip, if you’re going on a boat or something. For example when I’m out fishing and have stinky hands from handling fish, then want to take photos, I don’t want to get my Italian leather case and my camera all disgusting with fish smell. |
Kaza
Kaza makes my favorite artisan-style leather half case. It’s a different style case than Lim’s cases so if you’re wanting something that feels a little more classic, Kaza is my go-to. This case even has a threaded hole in the bottom for attaching a tripod plate. They also will sometimes bundle in straps or full-body cases which can actually be a really good deal. I have a few of the Kaza straps and cases and they have lasted me years already. I highly recommend this company. |

SmallRig Cage
With the Sony A7c being so small, sometimes using it by itself can be a little difficult for video shooters. The SmallRig cage adds some versatility for mounting additional accessories like a field monitor or additional mic accessories. The cages system is also somewhat modular where you can add different handles and attachments to expand the capabilities further. |

5. Camera Straps
There are a lot of strap options available today but if you want just a good strap without a lot of hassle, then here are my recommendations.
Peak Design Clutch
Peak designs hand clutch is a hand strap that secures your hand to the camera. You can also attach their normal full camera straps to this, and the base plate for this strap which is arca-swiss comes with extra loop holes on it for attaching the full strap. I own two of these for different cameras of mine and really like them because they work so well with tripods and peak design straps. |
Peak Design Straps
Available At: Amazon The Peak Design slide camera straps or leash straps are really nice. They come in three different sizes and work with the Peak Design clip system so you can easily take them off. I like to use these straps with the Clutch hands strap so that my camera doesn’t look ridiculous with all these red dingles hanging off the body when I’m not using the strap. For the Sony A7c, you’ll most likely want the thing 19mm wide strap. But if you have a lot of big lenses you might prefer the thicker 32mm strap. SL – 45mm wide SSL – 32mm wide L – 19mm wide |

6. On-Camera Mic
The sky is the limit when it comes to equipping a mirrorless camera with a mic, but if you just want a simple on-camera mic that gets the job done and are great for most people here are my favorites.
Rode Video Mic Go II
The Rode Video Mic Go II is a great little on-camera mic, both version I and version II are fantastic. Version II now has USB capabilities and can work with your computer or some smartphones as an external mic, which is really handy, especially in today’s video conference world. This mic is. built well and sounds great. |
Deity V-Mic D4 Duo Microphone Mini
If you want a mini shotgun mic that can also be used to pick up sound behind the camera, this Deity D4 Duo is really nice. This is useful if you’re shooting video while also narrating and still want clean audio when the camera is not pointed at you. Build quality is great and the sound is also good. I actually use this mic a lot when I’m shooting videos with my kids so that all dialogue is clearly pickup up. |

7. Cleaning Accessories
There are a ton of cleaning accessories. These are the three items I recommend and use regularly.
Air Blasters
Rocket Air Blaster
Rocket Air makes my favorite air blaster. They are one of the few blasters that can stand upright on your desk without rolling around, which is why I appreciate them and continue to buy them. I have the Large, Medium, and Small sizes. You probably don’t need the large, and I mostly carry around the Medium which works great. If you need a really compact air blaster for a small bag, then the Small size can work as well but won’t give as much air and power as the medium. |
Rocket Air Medium:Â
Micro-Fiber Cleaning Cloths
Micro-Fiber Cleaning Cloths 6-Pack
These thin and light cleaning cloths are very handy. Sometimes when a lens or UV filter gets really dirty or gets covered with very fine lint, the only way to get it off is with a new micro-fiber cloth. I keep a few in my bag so that I always have some. Since these micro-fiber cloths do get dirty over time as they collect oils, you occasionally need to replace them which is why this 6-pack is nice. |

Sensor Brushes
There is a lot of argument online about the best way to clean your camera sensor. Before you get involved with wet methods or those gel sticks, grab a sensor brush. They’ll work most of the time if you keep them in good shape. Here is how I use mine.
First – Never touch the bristles since they can collect oil from your fingers and spread that oil onto your sensor.
Second – Use the rocket air blaster to clean the tip of any old dust, this can also help add some static charge to it.
Third – Brush across the sensor, removing any big or small pieces of dust that wouldn’t come off with the rocket air blaster.
Fourth – Always pack the brush back in the plastic bag and tube to make sure it stays clean.
The Sensor Cleaning Brush
Sensor Cleaning Brush Full Frame – Amazon Sensor Cleaning Brush APS-C / All Sizes – Amazon This sensor brush is the best out there. It’s made in Germany and is of very high quality. |
