Dedicated to the Sony Alpha a9, a7 III, and a7R III mirrorless cameras, this VG-C3EM Vertical Grip offers both extended shooting time and a more comfortable grip when shooting in the vertical orientation. The grip accepts two NP-FZ100 batteries to effectively double the battery life for longer shooting sessions. The batteries can be charged in the grip while attached to the camera via the body's USB port. The grip's design maintains the same layout as the camera body itself, and includes a secondary shutter button and a multi selector for intuitive use. The grip is built from magnesium alloy and is dust and moisture resistant to match the weather sealing of the camera itself.

Related Questions and Answers

Q: 1. What is the overall height of the A7R3 when the battery grip is installed?

A: The height is 4.3cm to the top of the viewfinder(not the rubber edge). Its probably a few milimeters more with the hot shoe cap.

Q: 2. Will it work on A7Rii?

A: No, you would need the VG-C2EM vertical grip.

Q: 3. Would this work on the A6600 since it shares the same battery as the a7iii, a7riii, and A9

A: The VG-C3EM is not compatible with the ILCE6600.

Q: 4. Recommendation for something similar compatible with the Sony A6500?

A: Hi Ernesto, there is no Sony vertical grip for the a6500 camera. -Anthony

Q: 5. Can you assign the EYE - AF function to the AE/AL button on the grip as well as to the camera itself ?

A: Yes, the camera doesn’t let you set up the grip buttons differently than the body. So if AEL is Eye-AF on the body, it will be the same on the grip.

Q: 6. I have just two batteries. Will it operate with one in the camera and one in the grip or does it require two in the grip and one in the camera?

A: The grip replaces (fills) the space of the battery in the camera - you can now have one or two batteries in the grip. As they weigh almost nothing, carrying two batteries in the grip is the best strategy - they'll automatically switch over when the first one is exhausted. You get real-time percentage charge available display in the viewfinder.

Q: 7. (from previous question) answered by Rob (staff) are you sure this will fit Sony a7sIII, says Sony VG-C4EM is required?

A: This will not fit the A7S III, you will need the VG-C4EM grip. Despite this being the 3rd of the A7S series cameras, the body is that of the 4th generation type (A7R IV, A9 II...), so it would pair with that grip for that generation of Sony bodies.

Q: 8. How much height does this add to compatible cameras?

A: The Sony VG-C3EM adds 49mm / 1.9" of height to the base of compatible cameras.

Q: 9. Can the grip work with only one battery?

A: This grip has the ability to hold two NP-FZ100 batteries.

Q: 10. does this includes the two batteries ?

A: No, the batteries are additional.
