Item Description:
  • For Alpha One, a7R IV, a7 IV, a9 II, a7S III
  • Holds One or Two NP-FZ100 Batteries
  • Extended Grip for Vertical Shooting
  • Second Shutter Button and Multi Selector
  • Charge batteries via camera USB without removing grip
  • Dedicated to the Sony Alpha One, a7R IV, a7 IV, a9 II, a7S III mirrorless cameras, the VG-C4EM Vertical Grip offers both extended battery and a more comfortable grip when shooting in the vertical orientation. Vertical Grip makes it easy to hold the camera and operate controls with nearly the same feel as when holding the camera horizontally. Double the capacity and operation time with space for two long lasting NP-FZ100 batteries. Alightweight, compactmagnesium alloy design matches the dust and moisture resistant durability of the Alpha.

    Key Features:

    • Space for 2x NP-FZ100 Batteries doubles the operation time
    • Same grip and controls to match the look and feel of the Alpha
    • Same enhanced dust/moisture resistance as the Alpha
    • Same magnesium-chassis rigidity as the Alpha
    • Charge batteries via camera USB without removing grip

    Controls simulate horizontal shooting
    The VG-C4EM provides a stable grip and easy operation, with controls that mimic the location, feel and function of those used when holding the camera horizontally.This provides the user with a consistent grip and operational feel, regardless of whether the camera is being held in a horizontal or vertical position.

    Reliability matches that of the Alpha
    Dust/moisture resistance and the solidity of the magnesium alloy are similar to those of the camera body, ensuring the reliability of the entire α system.

    Auto switch
    Accommodates one or two Z-series batteries. When using two batteries, the camera automatically switches from one battery to the other, for continuous operation.

    USB Charging
    Batteries loaded in the vertical grip can be charged via the camera’s USB port without detaching the grip from the camera. In addition, supplementary power can be supplied via the camera’s USB port for extended use.

    Comfort and ease
    The VG-C4EM is designedto almost precisely match the shape of the grip on the Alpha to provide a more comfortable grip, while buttons, chassis material, and shape are consistent with those of the camera, providing an integrated appearance and operational feel.Tray-style battery compartment lets you easily slide in batteries.

    Matching Alpha buttons
    Recent improvements to the material and shape of the Alpha camera body have also been applied to the VG-C4EM Vertical Grip. Specifically, the grip incorporates improvements to the design of operating buttons which enhance the button pressing sensation, enlargement and optimized location of AF-ON button, and a redesigned Multi-selector. The grip is broader, providing more room for the pinky and middle finger, resulting in operational “feel” that matches that of the Alpha camera.

    I haven't used the grip extensively to date, but plan to in the coming weeks. Feels comfortable in the hand and makes the camera better balanced.

    I bought this to add to my A7IV. Used with my FE 200-600 lens it definitely helps to balance the setup better as well as obviously doubling up on the time between replacing batteries.

    Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend to a friend

    Only used this once on new camera, but have one on an A7ii and used many times. I personally love it and wish i had one earlier. Love the fact it shows what battery power for each one on screen.

    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.

    Bit wobbly

    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.

    Bottom Line No, I would not recommend to a friend

    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!
