Asked by: Derek
While that battery grip does not work with the A7S, the Sony Vertical Battery Grip for Alpha a7/a7R/a7S Digital Camera (Black) B&H # SOVGC1EM would be the correct version. https://bhpho.to/2PTLzgo

question

I heard it displays both battery %. Does it drain 1 battery at a time or both? If 1 at a time does it automatically start draining the other battery once the first is finished?
Asked by: Andrew
Yes, it uses the first battery and than uses battery #2. The Battery grip works great. (Sony) it cost a little more but much better than a generic brand.
