Key Features
- For Sony a9 III & a1 II Cameras
- Holds One or Two NP-FZ100 Batteries
- Supports Parallel Power Supply
- Extended Grip for Vertical Shooting
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.
