Get a grip
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I have been using a Sony battery grip on my a7R III and it spoiled me so much that I got one for my a7S III. I initially was after the extended battery life, but the palm of my hand and pinky finger were so happy to have something to hold. I have long hands and this grip actually makes working the camera and controls easier and more relaxed. It does add a little weight, but I feel that actually helps steady the camera, especially when using a long telephoto lens. Made from the same mag alloy as the camera, and same high quality switch and buttons as the camera. It's not cheap, but it's worth it to keep your great Sony camera all Sony!

Never need to lose a shot because of batteries
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I had a recommendation from the Sony rep in my area and I've never been more pleased. With the investment of the Sony A7Riv I grabbed the Battery Grip so I will never have to worry about losing a shot because of a discharged battery. The grip holds to of the NP-FZ100 long lasting batteries and gives the body some extra size for gripping when inverting for Portrait modes. There are identical buttons on the grip corresponding to the most used on the body, plus the function and programmable "C" function keys. Convenient and a great value in every manner.

Must buy-Sony - Alpha Battery Grip
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Black Vertical Battery Grip from Sony allows for long-term, comfortable shooting in the vertical orientation with the Alpha a7/a7R/a7S digital camera. It accepts 1-2 NP-FW50 batteries, which are available separately, to extend and possibly even double your shooting time. The grip uses a battery with lower power first, then automatically switches to the one with greater power when the first runs out. The remaining battery power is displayed as a percentage on your camera's LCD monitor. The grip offers an extra shutter button, located at the low position, as well as front/back control dials and Auto Exposure Lock. All controls are placed appropriately for easy, comfortable access. A strap hole allows you to attach the optional STP-GB1AM Grip Belt. The buttons, dials, battery cover, and connecting terminal on the grip are securely sealed for dust and moisture protection.

Must have Sony grip
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Must have grip for any camera. Sony has a shallow and short grip. The additional griping potential especially if you have large hands with the extra battery makes this grip idea for handling and stability.

Vertical grip for Sony Mirrorless
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I needed a battery grip for my new Sony mirrorless and I chose this as it fit my camera perfectly and holds 2 batteries giving me lots of power for those overnight photography trips! I love how Sony engineered this to work with the battery door cover. Very ingenious!

Rated 4 out of 5 stars
Works great, looks bad
||Posted . Owned for 8 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.It definitely does the job and works as expected, however the design & look is not great when put on the A7 IV. The Battery grip for the A7 III fit better. I do think part of the reason they left this tiny gap is to help with cooling, but I don't really know.

Get A Grip
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I couldn’t wait to get my hands on this grip. It is what I needed to be able to do weddings without having to keep charging the one battery had. It is holds two batteries and that’s what I needed. My advice is to get a grip if you need more battery life or going to be shooting most of the day

Camera Grip
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I didn’t realize until the day I went to pick this up that it’s not just used for extending the battery life of the camera but it’s also a grip for when you turn the camera on the side

Must have !
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Much needed grip, Since owning the a6300 and now the a7IV, sony’s camera ergonomics arent the best. I have large hands and have always wanted something similar to Canon’s ergos i.e Canon 1DX line. This grip gives me better handling of my camera, more stability and even the portrait orientation is better. Also bought it on sale otherwise I’d have gone to a 3rd party manufacturer
