I've owned this for a couple of months now and it's great. The 2 batteries make for long shoots. I can do very long 3000+ shot time lapse. If I'm not using a tripod it's easy and comfortable to switch from landscape to portrait. I wish it came with some kind of tripod mount for portrait, but this wasn't expected. It wasn't working very good at first, as far as using the grips controls, but after updating the cameras flash it's been working perfect.

All I can say is wow! I couldn't have asked for a better battery grip. After switching over from the bigger Canon bodies a few years ago I missed my battery grip very much. Sony.. you guys are expensive but this thing is made to perfection! I absolutely love using it when shooting with my bigger lenses, it makes the whole experience way more comfortable and balanced. I couldn't recommend this grip enough! :D

Well built and matches my a7iii's aesthetic perfectly. I mainly use it when shooting sports with my 70-200 2.8 lens. The grip makes shooting vertically more comfortable and reduces fatigue. I remove it when a grip isn't needed. It's easy to quickly install and remove. If you shoot vertically a lot, especially with heavier lenses, this is well worth it.

Love the dual battery access however with the new Z battery I have been able to shoot all day long without the need to tap into my second battery. I love the extra grip when I am walking around however I feel the device adds unnecessary bulk when using tripod/monpod.

The Sony alpha cameras feel like toys in my hands (even though they are anything but a toy). By adding the Vertical Battery Grip the camera begins to feel like a pro camera which is easier to hold steady, allows for vertical shooting and controls and of course, extra battery time in the field. It is a win win.
