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.
