Good for use with bigger lenses
VG-C4EM 08 February 2024 by PlanesRus (United Kingdom)
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.

A welcome addition to my 7R 1V camera, a perfect match and adds to the improved balance when using my 200-600mm G lens.

Well made but...
VG-C4EM 21 December 2022 by Sparkly Gibberish (United Kingdom)
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!

Great Vertical Grip
VG-C4EM 06 October 2022 by Jasper 2022 (United Kingdom)
Recently added this grip to my new A7IV and what a difference its makes to the feel and balance of the camera when using a long telephoto lens like the 200-600mm. The extra battery will give all day shooting great in the winter when the temperature is low and battery life is vital.

Lightweight but feels cheap
VG-C4EM//Q SYU 08 August 2022 by Malsam (Singapore) Verified Purchaser Verified
It’s a must have on my Sony camera which feels small. I love the lightweight construct but at the same time it feels it can be easily broken especially the battery tray which I bought 2 more extra as a backup. The fit is good though, once tighten, nothing moves.

Purchased this grip for my Sony A7 iv. I originally had a non-Sony one which although worked well wasn't man enough when it came to using a tripod as I specifically bought the A7 iv with video in mind. Great piece of kit- I wouldn't be without it.

Sony A1 vertical hand grip
VG-C4EM 20 April 2022 by PRJ1 (United Kingdom)
Bought the battery grip to accompany my new Sony A1 caers along with 200-600mm g lens and 400mm. The grip is a must for large lenses and aids balance perfectly. The build quality is almost the same as the camera and contours are perfect plus enabling longer battery time as the use of two batteries proling times between charges.

Necessary for use with large lenses
VG-C4EM 25 March 2022 by draganmikki (United Kingdom)
Extremely ergonomic and well made battery grip. As most of Sony lenses are on the large and heavy side, this hand/battery grip is necessary for steady handling of Sony's compact cameras.

Probably need to replace
VGC4EM 15 March 2022 by donv629 (USA) Verified Purchaser Verified
While in the vertical position the shutter button does not focus. In that position, focus can only be done using back button focus. Sony Pro Support says not serviceable. I have lived with the issue but not sure if it is designed to work this way, so another one may perform differently.

Fantastic, robust quality product
VG-C4EM 19 January 2022 by KevastleyJA (United Kingdom)
I purchased this grip and its never let me down. Great that Sony give you the option to use small form factor cameras but also the option to increase the size with the use of this fantastic and versatile grip. Reliable and strong this grip adds another dimension to my Sony camera. 100% must . Love it.

Practical, Functional, Affordable
VG-C4EM 26 October 2021 by EwerbyJon (United Kingdom)
Although I have only just purchased my own example of this product. I have been using one for some time . It does exactly what it says on the tin. It's comfortable, well built and extremely comfortable to hold/use over prolonged periods time. As per usual well done Sony.

VG-C4EM 13 October 2021 by sjr1403 (United Kingdom)
With large hands I find it fiddly to shoot in portrait mode.....plus having two batteries 'in play' is a great advantage especially when shooting wildlife in burst mode!

Much needed accessory with larger lenses hand held
VG-C4EM 22 August 2021 by TimDickeson (United Kingdom) Verified Purchaser Verified
Excellent grip to give an upright shooting shutter release and muti-function controller for the A1- with larger lenses used in landscape mode it helps to balance the weight - a little expensive for what it is especially when there are 3rd party makes which work just as well at a fraction of the cost...

Solid Vertical Grip
VG-C4EM//Q SYU 18 January 2021 by Royfrosty (Singapore) Verified Purchaser Verified
This is one of the best VG i have ever used. Being a top notch VG the materials and the handling is solid. I'm giving it 4 stars because there are certain things Sony can improve further. One being that they could provide a charger for the vertical grip to charge it seperately. Another way is to deal with the cumbersome battery door removal to insert the VG. Instead of it having communications via the battery compartment, they could have done the connectors outside on the cam body like some other brands are doing. Doing so allows the users to insert another battery in the cam body with additional 2 batteries in the VG. But overall i love the design, the materials, the grip handling and how well it functions.

High quality grip, with all required dials/buttons
VG-C4EM 23 October 2020 by dither (United Kingdom) Verified Purchaser Verified
It's a very comfortable and functional grip, has all necessary dials and buttons replicated for the portrait orientation. Would be nice if a hot swap for the batteries was also implemented (like on the Nikon MB-N10) so that each battery has its own door and can be replaced independently from another battery
