Still does not fit a6iv correc

Doesn’t fit body correctly. Over two years later, Sony still has not fixed a basic design flaw. There is a one millimeter gap between body and charger because the fixing bolt is still too long.

Hello I recently made the switch from Nikon to ...

Hello I recently made the switch from Nikon to Sony. I bought this battery pack and I've noticed a slight gap between the camera and the battery pack. Is this common for Sony battery grips? The battery grip I had for my Nikon fit flushed to the camera so I'm not sure if the gap is a common thing or I have a faulty battery grip.
Asked by: Anthony
A small gap is normal and within spec.

It's not sold separately as a retail item, but you may be able to obtain one directly from Sony or their spare/repair parts supplier, Encompass.
