The Mamiya V-Grip Air for Credo Batteries makes vertical shooting with the Mamiya 645DF camera a dream. More than just a grip, the V-Grip Air replicates all of the main camera body controls, including the shutter release, front and rear exposure dials, AEL, and AFL buttons. Putting the "Air" in the V-Grip Air would be the compatibility with Profoto Air-equipped flash generators. Other brands of flash equipment can be used when an optional Profoto Air transceiver unit is utilized. And when it comes to battery options, the V-Grip Air for Credo batteries uses the same 2900mAh rechargeable lithium-ion batteries as Mamiya Credo series digital backs. It can also use standard 1.5V 'AA' batteries.
Controls
Main camera body controls are duplicated just where you would expect them on the grip for vertical shooting. Shutter release, front and rear exposure control dials, AEL, and AFL buttons - they're all there.
Profoto Air Wireless Flash Triggering System
Fully compatible with Profoto Air-equipped flash generators. But don't worry, it's no problem if you don't have a Profoto with an integrated Air unit, or if you own another brand of flash equipment - you can just add an optional Profoto Air transceiver unit to your flash pack to have wireless syncing with the Mamiya V-Grip Air.
Flexible Battery Options
The Mamiya V-Grip Air uses the same powerful and rechargeable 2900mAh lithium-ion batteries as are also used with the Mamiya Credo series digital backs. No need to carry multiple types of batteries-use the same batteries for both your camera and digital back.
Built-In USB and Firmware Upgrades
A built-in USB port allows for future user firmware upgrades for both the V-Grip and 645DF camera body.
