Battery Life

VG-C4EM 26 September 2024 by Leroi (Australia)

Can shoot all day without a battery change. The camera feels balanced in your hands with all lenses.

Good for use with bigger lenses

VG-C4EM 08 February 2024 by PlanesRus (United Kingdom)

I bought an immaculate secondhand grip. First impressions are it is taller compared to the Nikon ones I was used to. This is because the batteries are mounted on their edge rather than than on their back. Otherwise it gives a useful camera shooting time before having to change batteries. Nice to have the vertical controls too.

Perfect!

VG-C4EM 01 December 2023  (United Kingdom)

A welcome addition to my 7R 1V camera, a perfect match and adds to the improved balance when using my 200-600mm G lens.

Bit wobbly

VG-C4EM 16 March 2023 by Picplosions (Australia)

Bought this for my A7IV but found that the little pins that are mean't to align it don't seem long enough. They do work to a certain extent but the grip wobbles front to back and does not seem to sit flush because of the pressure of the spring mechanism pushing it out no matter how tight you tighten the mounting screw. A future improvement may be to put longer pins in and maybe one on the other side of the grip too.

Well made but...

VG-C4EM 21 December 2022 by Sparkly Gibberish (United Kingdom)

As the title says but, it doesn't fit very well, there is a visible gap between the body and the grip which you can see through. I have tightened the screw as much as I can - which is quite a lot - pressed down when I tighten the screw but it's still there and I get some slight movement when I hold the grip vertically. My Nikon grips fitted much more snuggly and firmly?? I hope this doesn't affect the weather sealiing!

Great Vertical Grip

VG-C4EM 06 October 2022 by Jasper 2022 (United Kingdom)

Recently added this grip to my new A7IV and what a difference its makes to the feel and balance of the camera when using a long telephoto lens like the 200-600mm. The extra battery will give all day shooting great in the winter when the temperature is low and battery life is vital.

Lightweight but feels cheap

VG-C4EM//Q SYU 08 August 2022 by Malsam (Singapore)

It’s a must have on my Sony camera which feels small. I love the lightweight construct but at the same time it feels it can be easily broken especially the battery tray which I bought 2 more extra as a backup. The fit is good though, once tighten, nothing moves.

VG-C4EM

VG-C4EM 07 June 2022 by Callidog (United Kingdom)

Purchased this grip for my Sony A7 iv. I originally had a non-Sony one which although worked well wasn't man enough when it came to using a tripod as I specifically bought the A7 iv with video in mind. Great piece of kit- I wouldn't be without it.

Sony A1 vertical hand grip

VG-C4EM 20 April 2022 by PRJ1 (United Kingdom)

Bought the battery grip to accompany my new Sony A1 caers along with 200-600mm g lens and 400mm. The grip is a must for large lenses and aids balance perfectly. The build quality is almost the same as the camera and contours are perfect plus enabling longer battery time as the use of two batteries proling times between charges.

Necessary for use with large lenses

VG-C4EM 25 March 2022 by draganmikki (United Kingdom)

Extremely ergonomic and well made battery grip. As most of Sony lenses are on the large and heavy side, this hand/battery grip is necessary for steady handling of Sony's compact cameras.

Probably need to replace

VGC4EM 15 March 2022 by donv629 (USA)

While in the vertical position the shutter button does not focus. In that position, focus can only be done using back button focus. Sony Pro Support says not serviceable. I have lived with the issue but not sure if it is designed to work this way, so another one may perform differently.

Fantastic, robust quality product

VG-C4EM 19 January 2022 by KevastleyJA (United Kingdom)

I purchased this grip and its never let me down. Great that Sony give you the option to use small form factor cameras but also the option to increase the size with the use of this fantastic and versatile grip. Reliable and strong this grip adds another dimension to my Sony camera. 100% must . Love it.

VG-C4EM 26 October 2021 by EwerbyJon (United Kingdom)

Although I have only just purchased my own example of this product. I have been using one for some time . It does exactly what it says on the tin. It's comfortable, well built and extremely comfortable to hold/use over prolonged periods time. As per usual well done Sony.

love this grip

VG-C4EM 13 October 2021 by sjr1403 (United Kingdom)

With large hands I find it fiddly to shoot in portrait mode.....plus having two batteries 'in play' is a great advantage especially when shooting wildlife in burst mode!

Much needed accessory with larger lenses hand held

VG-C4EM 22 August 2021 by TimDickeson (United Kingdom)

Excellent grip to give an upright shooting shutter release and muti-function controller for the A1- with larger lenses used in landscape mode it helps to balance the weight - a little expensive for what it is especially when there are 3rd party makes which work just as well at a fraction of the cost...
