About this item
Product details
The VG-C3EM body design makes it almost equally easy to control the camera in vertical and horizontal positions, thanks to keys and controls that are nearly the same as those on the back of the camera body. For example, the vertical grip provides a Multi Selector for fast selection of an AF point. VG-C3EM provides a grip shaped like that of the a9 body, allowing you to get an enhanced hold for confident shooting in a vertical position that is virtually the same as that in a horizontal position. VG-C3EM vertical grip loads two NP-FZ100 batteries in its housing. You can check the camera LCD monitor to see the remaining power of the battery in use as a percentage (1% minimum unit) on the power indicator. When the power of one battery runs out, the other battery automatically switches on to continue operation.
Product Details
- Loads two NP-FZ100 batteries (sold separately)
- Rigid magnesium for durability
- VGC3EM Battery Grip
USB power charging via the camera body
- You can charge batteries loaded in the vertical grip, using the camera's USB port without detaching the grip from the camera body.
Highly rigid magnesium for exterior
- Made of magnesium alloy, the same as a9, this grip is highly rigid and lightweight.
Careful attention to dust/moisture resistance
- Effective dust- and moisture-resistant sealing is applied to keys and controls, as well as ports and electric contacts, for tough usage in harsh shooting conditions.

Endless Power Supply, Easier to Grip Camera
I love the extended grip. It feels great in the hand. You have to admit, the a7-III is a small camera, but the grip makes you look like a pro with a huge camera! (That's just a vanity perk!) Seriously, people do tend to take you more seriously seeing that you have a professional looking setup. But it's not just perception. The extra buttons for portrait shots are great for people who aren't contortionists. Also, the added benefit of never running out of battery life is great. I leave my camera on as I walk down streets or trails, or am sitting with friends. The camera is always ready to go. I took the camera on a 1 week long trip with the 2 batteries in the grip and one spare. I never once hooked the camera to a charger and I took tons of pictures. However, since I was rarely around electricity for the trip, I would turn the camera off when I knew it wouldn't be in use. The only problem I have with the grip is that I can't use my LA-EA4 a-mount adapter with the grip installed.

Excellent battery grip
I have just switched from Nikon to Sony, and this is a well made grip which holds both batteries in the grip. Another advantage is that the grip balances the camera when long lenses are attached. Of course the most important part is the battery life and having all the controls handy when using the camera in portrait mode.
Seller Verified Purchase
Sturdy and works without any issues.
Solid build, buttons all feel great, works exactly as intended. Compatible across all the current model 3 A a7s. The added length to the grip when holding the camera in landscape orientation and ease of use in portrait orientation are great. I use this on my a7III with no issues. Only caveat is back button placement is a little different on the battery grap than the camera, but that's just a matter of muscle memory.
