^ This. Also, I honestly find those bulkier cage setups to be kinda disappointing for travel. They add too much weight without actually improving the ergonomics as much as you'd expect. I've had issues with generic handles feeling flimsy and almost lost my camera once because of a loose screw. Safety has to be the priority here given how slippery the rx100 vii is. Unfortunately, 40 bucks is tight but you have a few reliable options for safety:

  • Sony AG-R2 Attachment Grip is basically mandatory. It sticks to the front and gives your fingers something to actually grab.
  • Manfrotto PIXI Mini Tripod is much sturdier than those cheap flexible ones that tend to collapse under pressure.
  • Grab a Peak Design Cuff Camera Wrist Strap so it wont hit the pavement if it slips. I've tried the cheap knockoffs before and they just arent worth the risk to an expensive camera. Stick to the basics...

Like someone mentioned, these cams are super slippery. In my experience, adhesive grips eventually fail, so I prefer metal screw-in options.

Honestly, the rx series is basically impossible to hold without some extra bulk. In my experience, you need a dedicated handle to keep from dropping it. I've tried many different setups over the years and usually just tell people to go with any grip from SmallRig. You cant go wrong with their gear for the price. Itll make everything feel more secure without blowing your budget.
