For all night timelapse shooting this is a perfect solution

Nice to have this grip and the batter life is like wow!!
mccasive –
This grip makes the already great camera, greater and it should be a no brainer purchase for any Sony shooter who has big fat fingers like mine.
Ahmed –
It is good and easy to shoot, carry the camera and charge

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.

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

It is expensive, yes. There are cheaper, knock-off options , yes.
This just works–and works, right!
Jamalf –
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.
Travella –
High quality great buy… fits great on Sony A7111
FarqaleetFotography –
Use it with my A7RIV. Definitely makes the setup bulky but can’t beat two batteries for extended shooting

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!

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
Meeche –
Say goodbye to those tough vertical shots. This grips gives you more to grab and make it easier taking those vertical portraits
Aux1 –
Great for run and gun on lung events where changing battery could make you miss the shot
Nazukeoya –
Very good and reliable! I love this item and it works great!
Fuzzball –
i bought this vertical grip when i got the new a7riv and it is great! the a7riv already has great battery life, but this grip doubles it! (you have to buy the second battery separately) very comfortable in the hand and functions perfectly.

Best Grip ever for a song alpha camera! Hands down for quality and the amount of grip you’re getting!

Upgraded my photography kit and made sure to make this purchase. Investing in these purchases is worth it.
alorayos –
Must have for Sony camera users….period! Gives you a more secure hold of your mirrorless Sony cameras.

Just what I needed! It’s very solid and nice to hold. Very nice.
Vino –
You will need it when you are on a longhaul photo session.
Rachael –
Great product! Makes my job as a photo so much easier!
cecilholmes –
Works as advertised. Gives you additional grip and battery life.
aguywhocodes –
Best grip for the Sony A7iv. Tried a third party grip and ran into issues. Plus it felt so cheap. The feel is great, and just works perfectly.
This grip does the job well. Look, for anything Sony I always go first party.
Basil –
It’s a quality Sony grip that doubles battery life. Another thing it the weight helps keep things stable while shooting.
abestbuycustomer –
You’re paying the Sony tax on this. I know there is a cheaper off brand one on Amazon for about $100, but why even risk it?
With this, I am confident I’m not going to have issues while on the field.

This vertical grip provides better ergonomics and doubles battery capacity.

Perfect attachment for my Sony A7R4. Will purchase one for all future cameras.

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.

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!
Editor –
Use this to give my camera extra charge filming weddings
Justdrd –
A must have to go with the A1 body. Best Buy is the place to shop for all photo supplies
Banks –
I wouldn’t have it any other way. If you can get this one then please do so.
DeFranco –
This battery grip is perfect, fits great in the hand.
Ferdinand09 –
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
RenzkristoffeS –
Reliable battery grip feels premium and solid. Good accessory for longer camera use.
JamesJ –
Double your use with a second battery. Helps with changing your angle of a shot
MarcoN –
perfect!!! make more time and effective .!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Mark –
This grip adds so much functionality to my Sony AS7iii that Im really happy I made this purchase. The ability to carry two batteries and shoot vertically are awesome. Highly recommend!
Lowrey –
Great device and does its job well. All buttons are well placed and utalized on the a7s iii
MarkE –
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.
