How well does this fit the A7IV? Seems like other 3rd party options aren't well fitted and contacts are missed enable to turn the camera on
Asked by: Ron Jacob
From our tests at the superstore, the Vello BG-S7 has a solid feel when installed on the A7IV and has a pretty good fit to the body. While it's highly likely any Sony-made battery grip would have a better fit, we found the Vello to be a great alternative to any OEM grip.

When you turn the grip to off does it turn the whole camera off?

How does the Vello battery grip compare with Sony's far more expensive grip?
Asked by: Hugh
The Vello BG-S7 Battery Grip for Sony a1, a9 II, a7 S III, a7R V, a7R IV, and a7 IV Series Cameras functions like the Sony VG-C4EM Vertical Grip. However, the grip's build quality is not as good as that of the Sony grip.

Is there a cage for this?

Is there a cage for this?
Asked by: Three In
The cages for the Sony A7 series cameras only take the body into account in terms of the fitment. When using a battery grip like the BG-S7 along with its compatible Sony A7/A9 cameras, a universal cage such as the CAMVATE Universal Camera Cage with Top Handle and Wooden Handgrip, BH # CAC1561 would be most suitable. https://bhpho.to/2HcoTrq
