The Vertical Battery Grip for Alpha A99 DSLR Camera from Sony is a battery grip designed for the Alpha SLT-A99 DSLR camera and accepts one or two NP-FM500H Lithium-Ion batteries. With two batteries installed in the grip and one in the camera, your shooting time is effectively tripled.
The design of a battery grip offers a comfortable and secure way in which to hold your A99, especially in the vertical position. This battery grip features an alternate shutter release button to facilitate shooting when the camera is held in the portrait orientation as well as a secondary compensation button, AF/MF button, AEL button, Fn button, zoom/magnifier button, multi-selector and control dial. A battery tray holds the Lithium-Ion batteries and slides into the base of the grip.
In addition, it is designed with anti-slip rubber grip to further improve handling, a tripod socket to mount your camera directly to a tripod, weather-sealing for moisture and dust protection, and a strap hole to attach a grip strap

- Increased Shooting Time
- Accepts one or two NP-FM500H Lithium-Ion batteries in addition to the battery housed in the camera and effectively triples the camera's battery life and shooting time. The battery with lower power in the grip is used first, and automatically switched over to the other when it runs out. The one in camera body is used last to maximize shooting time. Remaining power of battery in use is indicated in percentages on the camera's LCD monitor.

Comments about Sony Vertical Battery Grip for Alpha A99 DSLR Camera:
It does what it's supposed to do and does it well. Easy on/easy off. Triple battery power is awesome. Construction quality is good. Feels very good in the hand. Adds a lot of weight to the camera, but that is to be expected. I love it!

Comments about Sony Vertical Battery Grip for Alpha A99 DSLR Camera:
I use this grip for portraits and vertical shooting in general. While it makes the camera very large, it is a valuable accessory and has all the controls one needs. Having 3 batteries is nice, too.
