Sony VG-C4EM Vertical Battery Grip for Sony α9 II and α7R IV

VG-C4EM

The Sony VG-C4EM Vertical Battery Grip is an accessory designed for Sony's Alpha series mirrorless cameras. The battery grip attaches to the bottom of the camera and provides additional battery life and a comfortable grip for vertical shooting.

The grip can hold two NP-FZ100 batteries (sold separately), effectively doubling the camera's battery life, which is especially useful for extended photo or video shoots. Additionally, the grip has a built-in USB charging port, which allows you to charge the batteries without removing them from the grip.

The Sony VG-C4EM Vertical Battery Grip also features a variety of controls, including a shutter button, AF-ON button, multi-selector, and control wheel, all of which are duplicated in the grip to allow for seamless vertical shooting. This is particularly useful for portrait photographers who frequently shoot in a vertical orientation.

Furthermore, the battery grip is dust and moisture-resistant, providing added protection to the camera and allowing you to shoot in challenging weather conditions.

Overall, the Sony VG-C4EM Vertical Battery Grip is an essential accessory for photographers and videographers who use Sony's Alpha series mirrorless cameras. It offers additional battery life, improved ergonomics, and added controls for vertical shooting, making it a valuable tool for extended shooting sessions or challenging shooting conditions.

Easy operation in vertical orientation

The VG-C4EM provides operational controls nearly the same as those of the camera body. The location, size, and shape of buttons are optimised, using the same material used on the α9 II and α7R IV bodies. As a result, the function, location and operational "feel", of the controls simulates those on the camera body, when the camera is held vertically.

Firm and secure grip

The ingenious design of the grip lets you hold the camera firmly. The Vertical Grip allows you to shoot photos easily and enjoyably regardless of whether you hold the camera horizontally or vertically, making it easier to concentrate on the subject and composition.

Effective operating duration doubled

The VG-C4EM can hold one or two NP-FZ100 batteries. When using two batteries, the camera will operate for nearly twice as long as when using one battery. Remaining battery power is indicated on the LCD screen, in 1% increments. When one battery expires, the camera automatically switches to the other, allowing continuous operation.

Reliable dust/moisture-resistance

The camera-grip attachment features the same sealing material used on the camera body, to keep out dust and moisture. This improves the overall reliability of the camera system.

Recharge batteries or supply power via USB

Batteries in the vertical grip can be recharged via the camera’s USB port, without detaching the grip from the camera. For extended shooting sessions, extra power can be supplied direct to the camera via the camera’s USB port using a mobile battery or AC adaptor to supplement battery power.

Light yet durable magnesium alloy body

The exterior of the VG-C4EM is made of the same magnesium alloy that is used in the α9 II and α7R IV bodies, to provide the same rigidity as the cameras themselves yet keep the overall weight and bulk to a minimum.

Notice

The simultaneous installation of this unit with the LA-EA2 / EA4 mount adaptor is not supported. If both are installed at the same time, the narrow clearance between the unit and the lens mount adaptor makes it hard to hold the grip.
