Extra power. Easy grip. Remote controls.

This is my second Sony 9. I shot multiple weddings and special occasions. Thousands of shots each. The VGC5 handles nice and the griip is firm.

Transforms the a9mk3 shooting experience. High quality accessory

When you're seeking enhanced control and extended battery life for your Sony Alpha a9 III Mirrorless Digital Camera, look no further than the VG-C5 Vertical Grip. This compact and lightweight accessory is specifically designed to mirror the ergonomic design and control access of the a9 III's own horizontal grip, ensuring a seamless shooting experience in both horizontal and vertical orientations.

The VG-C5 Vertical Grip is a versatile tool that not only improves the comfort and operability of your camera during long shooting sessions but also doubles your shooting time. It houses two NP-FZ100 batteries and features refined circuitry that supports parallel power supply, outperforming the VG-C4EM Vertical Grip in terms of operating duration. The remaining battery life for both batteries is conveniently displayed on the camera's screen, allowing you to shoot with confidence, knowing exactly how much power you have left.

Constructed with a sturdy magnesium alloy frame, this durable grip is designed to withstand challenging conditions. It boasts the same dust and moisture-resistant design as the camera body, making it a reliable addition to your photography gear.

The VG-C5 Vertical Grip also offers an array of additional features to enhance your photography experience. It includes an easy-access sliding battery tray, a tripod mount socket, and camera strap attachment points. It also features AF ON / AEL / C1 / C2 / C5 buttons, a Multi Selector, and a Rear dial R lock. Moreover, it supports power and charging via the camera's USB Type-C connector.

In line with Sony's commitment to environmental sustainability, the VG-C5 Vertical Grip comes packaged in recyclable non-plastic materials, including plant-based non-woven fabric bags. This not only provides ample protection against shock and impact during shipping but also helps to minimize environmental stress.

In summary, the VG-C5 Vertical Grip for Alpha a9 III Mirrorless Digital Camera is a durable, versatile, and lightweight accessory that enhances control, extends battery life, and improves the overall shooting experience.
