Dedicated to the Sony a9 III and a1 II mirrorless cameras, the VG-C5 Vertical Grip offers both extended battery and a more comfortable grip when shooting in the vertical orientation. The grip accepts either one or two NP-FZ100 batteries to increase the effective battery life for longer shooting sessions, and the batteries can be charged in the grip while attached to the camera via the body's USB port. Compared to previous-generation vertical grips, the VG-C5 also has refined circuitry that supports parallel power supply to provide even longer effective operation times and and the remaining battery life for both batteries can be indicated on the camera display.
The grip's design maintains the same layout as the camera body itself, and includes a secondary shutter button and Multi-Selector for intuitive use, as well as a secondary C5 front custom button. The grip is built from magnesium alloy and is dust and moisture resistant to match the weather-sealing of the camera itself.

Sony VG-C5 Reviews
Essential for balancing big glass
I have larger hands and a grip makes handling the smaller Sony bodies more ergonomic and comfortable to hold for long periods. For me, it is essential for handling heavier lenses like the f2 zooms. The design is an exact match for the button layout of the a9 iii or a1 ii, and the electronics perform as they should.
Solid quality
Feels solid in hand. Improved button locations. Perfect addition for the new A1 ii.
