What cameras is the VG-C4EM Vertical Grip compatible with?
The VG-C4EM is designed for Sony Alpha full-frame mirrorless cameras including the Alpha 1, Alpha 7 IV, Alpha 7R IV, Alpha 7R V, Alpha 7 V, Alpha 7S III and Alpha 9 II.
Does the VG-C4EM increase battery life, and what batteries does it use?
Yes. The grip holds one or two NP-FZ100 batteries, nearly doubling operating time when two are installed, with automatic switchover to the second battery for continuous operation.
Can I charge the batteries in the grip without removing it from the camera?
Yes. Batteries in the grip can be recharged via the camera's USB port, so you don't need to detach the grip to charge them. Note that power supply and charging cannot be carried out simultaneously.
Does the grip replicate camera controls for vertical shooting?
Yes. It includes a secondary shutter button, a Multi-Selector joystick and main control buttons laid out to closely match the camera body, giving nearly identical feel and operation when shooting in portrait orientation.
Is the VG-C4EM Vertical Grip weather-sealed?
The grip features a magnesium alloy exterior with dust and moisture resistance and sealing materials matching the camera body, though it is not guaranteed to be 100% dust and moisture proof.
Can I use the VG-C4EM with a tripod?
Yes. It attaches to the camera via a 1/4"-20 screw and includes a 1/4"-20 female tripod mount on the bottom, so it can be used with standard tripods and accessories.
How can I check the remaining battery power when using the grip?
Remaining battery capacity is displayed on the camera's LCD in 1% increments, so you can monitor power precisely for both batteries in the grip.
How much does the VG-C4EM Vertical Grip weigh and what are its dimensions?
The grip weighs approximately 290 g (10.2 oz) without batteries and measures roughly 128.8 x 108.9 x 67 mm (5.1 x 4.3 x 2.75").
How much does the Sony VG-C4EM Vertical Grip cost?
MSRP is listed as $459.99.
