Q: Is this battery grip compatible with the Sony A7R Mark III?

A: Yes, this is the one Sony indicates will be used by the a7R Mark III once it is released. Just remember, Best Buy stores will usually have the other battery grips in stock, but this a9 (and a7R iii) battery grip usually have to be ordered. Also, take advantage of their current buy 3 camera accessories and get 25% off sale, since those Z batteries are not cheap.

Q: I want to purchase this for my A 7 III. Does this comes with all the required batteries inside ?

A: No. You need to buy the batteries. I just used the one that came with my camera and bought another OEM battery.

Q: Does this specific grip work with the Sony A7 III? I was wondering because it's not labeled VGC3-EM on this website. Also it seems cheaper on here, so I thought maybe this was different or even used. It isn't used at all is it? Thanks, Ethan

A: Hello EPhotos, Sony commitment to customer satisfaction is our top priority. Thank you for reaching out. Yes this grip is indeed compatible with the Sony A7III as stated on the site. It does list the model number as VGCEM on the site. If you have any other questions please feel free to contact Sony Support at 239-245-6360. Thank you. -Linda 11-28-23 Sony Social Support

Q: Will this fit on a Sony a7 II?

A: Hi Tuatha, Sony commitment to customer satisfaction is our top priority. No, the Sony VGC3EM vertical grip is not compatible with the Sony A7M2 camera. What's compatible with the A7M2 is the VGC2EM vertical grip. Regards, Larry Sony Social Support

Q: What’s so good about the grip? Why not just have 2 batteries?

A: Better grip for larger hands. Easy to move to portrait shooting because of the extra shutter button. Combining 2 batteries will last longer.
