Vello BG-S8 Overview

The BG-S8 Battery Grip from Vello is designed specifically to enhance the performance of the Sony Alpha a6600 camera. The grip holds one or two NP-FZ100 batteries, which effectively doubles the camera runtime when both batteries are installed, especially useful when shooting video.

The BG-S8 grip is designed to provide a comfortable way to hold and shoot with the camera in the portrait orientation.

Designed with an anti-slip rubber grip for secure, comfortable handling, this battery grip has a 1/4"-20 mounting tip that screws into the camera's tripod mount, and has another tripod mount on its bottom for attaching to a camera support. An integrated hand-strap mount allows a camera strap or hand strap to be mounted for convenient carrying.

Vello BG-S8 Reviews

Fine Grip

Works good for hand held photography, but wobbles a bit on the tripod.

Good only for extra battery

Bought to double battery capacity. Shutter control is done with extra cable that hangs out and can get hung up. Doesn't help with portrait mode as there is no extra button for focusing. Not much option for a decent grip, so better than nothing.

Do we need to remove the battery from the body to use this grip? Thanks.
Asked by: Satya
Yes, the Vello BG-S8 Battery Grip for Sony a6600 comes with a battery pack adapter. That needs to be inside the battery chamber of the Sony A6600 for the grip to work, so you need to remove the battery that you have in the camera and use the battery pack adapter that comes with the grip.
