Sony Vertical Grip for Sony Alpha a7R IV Camera

This Vertical Grip from Sony makes it easy to hold the camera and operate controls with nearly the same feel as when holding the camera horizontally. Double the capacity and operation time with space for two long lasting NP-FZ100 batteries. A lightweight, compact magnesium alloy design matches the dust and moisture-resistant durability of the Alpha 7R IV.

Prolonged Continuous Operation

Space for two high-capacity NP-FZ100 batteries in the grip supply additional power that doubles the effective operating time, compared with the camera alone. This ensures excellent performance while allowing the user to continue shooting in prolonged photo sessions, with no interruption.

Controls Simulate Horizontal Shooting

The VG-C4EM provides a stable grip and easy operation, with controls that mimic the location, feel and function of those used when holding the camera horizontally. This provides the user with a consistent grip and operational feel, regardless of whether the camera is being held in a horizontal or vertical position.

Reliability Matches That of the Alpha 7R IV

Dust/moisture resistance and the solidity of the magnesium alloy are similar to those of the camera body, ensuring the reliability of the entire α system.

Auto Switch

Accommodates one or two Z-series batteries. When using two batteries, the camera automatically switches from one battery to the other, for continuous operation.

USB Charging

Batteries loaded in the vertical grip can be charged via the camera’s USB port without detaching the grip from the camera. In addition, supplementary power can be supplied via the camera’s USB port for extended use.

Comfort and Ease

The VG-C4EM is designed to almost precisely match the shape of the grip on the Alpha 7R IV to provide a more comfortable grip, while buttons, chassis material, and shape are consistent with those of the camera, providing an integrated appearance and operational feel. Tray-style battery compartment lets you easily slide in batteries.

Matching Alpha 7R IV Buttons

Recent improvements to the material and shape of the Alpha 7R IV camera body have also been applied to the VG-C4EM Vertical Grip. Specifically, the grip incorporates improvements to the design of operating buttons which enhance the button pressing sensation, enlargement and optimized location of AF-ON button, and a redesigned multi-selector. The grip is broader, providing more room for the pinky and middle finger, resulting in operational “feel” that matches that of the Alpha 7R IV camera.

Sony Vertical Grip for ILCE7RM4

Sony Vertical Grip for Sony Alpha a7R IV Camera SKU: VGC4EM

Rated 3 out of 5 by from Probably need to replace While in the vertical position the shutter button does not focus. In that position, focus can only be done using back button focus. Sony Pro Support says not serviceable. I have lived with the issue but not sure if it is designed to work this way, so another one may perform differently.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from No longer twisting my hands Just made the purchase 2 weeks ago and true appreciate the ability to shoot vertically and have the shutter and custom buttons right on the grip. No longer have to twist my hands to accommodate the camera when shooting vertically

Rated 5 out of 5 by from A Must Have For The Serious Photographer! The new a7rIV is an amazing camera but this takes it to an entirely new level.
