mcoplus MCO-A7II Vertical Battery Grip as VG-C2EM Replacement for Sony A7II A7S II A7R II, Hold NP-FW50 Battery(Battery not Included)

Pros: + Great build quality and feel. + Comfortable patterned rubber covering the ergonomic verticle grip. + Robust tactile buttons and dials. + Camera's battery door can be attached to the unit's battery slot for safe storage and convenience. + The functions on the grip, when shooting vertical, have a similar layout and feel to the ones on the camera. + Lock selector switch, around the shutter button, disables all functions to avoid accidental presses while not in use. + Supports 2 NP-FZ100 batteries, can be used with just one battery in either slot. + Charges both batteries via USB C or micro USB when connected to the camera. + Battey level indicators, percentages and corresponding slot number clearly visible on both the monitor & viewfinder. + Quarter-inch thread on the bottom of the unit for mounting options. Cons: - None thus far! I received the Mcoplus extension grip about a month ago and it has not come off my camera ever since. This is my 1st ever experience using a grip on a camera (a7iii) and could not be happier with it. I highly recommend this product for anyone looking to extend the battery life, ergonomics & usability of any compatible Sony alpha camera for a very reasonable price.

I've used this vertical grip on several shoots over the past couple of months and love it. I had never used a vertical grip before but wanted to try something that was inexpensive and I'm glad I did. The grip fits perfectly on my A7iii camera body, the custom functions work flawlessly and the outer skin matches that of the Sony body itself. There are only two down sides, however they are very minor in my opinion. First, the grip adds a bit of size and weight to a small and light mirrorless body. For me, this is fine for my portrait sessions and weddings, but I won't use the grip when taking the camera on trips. Second, while using the battery grip in portrait orientation I find it difficult to reach the joystick and control wheel with my thumb even though I have large hands with long fingers. Again, not a deal breaker but something worth noting. In my view, the product quality looks and feels top notch. I am very happy with the product and the item was shipped within the time frame I was quoted with the item new in the box. I highly recommend this to anyone looking to save some money as an alternative to the Sony branded grip.

I’ve been a pro photographer in San Francisco for 50 years, and recently switched to a Sony A7III. I ordered a Mcoplus Professional Vertical Battery Grip from Amazon and it came next day. First surprise was that the instructions are very clear and easy to follow. The grip attaches tightly to my Sony A7III with no play or gaps between body and grip, and the skin pattern matches seamlessly the camera. It takes one or two NP-FZ100 batteries that snap firmly in place, a welcome power extension for a full day job. I started testing all the controls in the grip and they perfectly activate the correct commands in the camera, aperture, shutter speed, viewing etc. It makes camera handling much better because it has a much more substantial grip, and the buttons are in ergonomically correct placement, and the camera feels more balanced, specially with heavy long lenses, what makes it very comfortable to shoot vertically with the well placed shutter button. It also has an additional lug for the strap in case you want to attach the camera to hang vertically. I am very surprised that the grip exceeds my expectations, specially at the very reasonable price point. I can strongly recommend the Mcoplus grip, you wont be disappointed.

I waited and searched over and over again about this battery grip for my Sony A7Riii because of all the reviews I read that it doesn’t fit right with this model camera. Well it sure fits well on my A7Riii. I’m very happy with this grip and the fact that it is made by Sony is even better. Sometimes you got to roll the dice and see for yourself, I’m glad I did!

Not bad! I’m very happy that my Sony A7II now has double the battery life since it’s not a surprise that this camera eats batteries. And the buttons work and the ergonomics are great.

This grip has served me well for a full year on my a7iii shooting field sports. Both batteries display on screen and shows each individual battery draw. One battery is fully drawn first. I have never gotten anywhere close to draining a battery once on this grip. The grip also charges both batteries when plugging USB c into the camera. For my personal use I have not leveraged the buttons, this was purely to give me better battery life shooting field sport game without battery anxiety and having to do reloads. As with most aftermarket grips they feel fragile until they have batteries loaded and the grip is screwed into place. Then they feel sturdy. In summary this was an extremely economic solution when compared to Sony's prices and it has served me quite well. I cannot speak to button longevity.

I didn’t want to spend so much on a grip but when I go out to shoot I’d like to know if my battery dies I don’t have to worry so I decided to give this a try. It fits very nicely to my Sony a7riii and everything works nicely. It feels great in my hand and looks good on my camera. I did play with it a little bit at home to test it all out and honestly I was very happy with it fairly quickly. It came on time and nicely packaged. I absolutely love it and would definitely recommend it.

I bought this a few days ago, and when I received the unit I put my batteries in it and got it hooked up to my Sony A7III, but when I would turn the camera on I would get the “incompatible battery’ error and my camera wouldn’t turn on. I tried changing batteries, turning it off and on again, cleaning the connectors and nothing. Sent it back and got my replacement today and it works wonders. It connects to the camera and is a very comfortable fit. I love being able to use the buttons on the grip for taking vertical pictures. With the batteries, the grip adds a little bit of weight to the bottom of the camera, but it’s not an awkward weight. It’s very comfortable to hold and use in all orientations. I would recommend this product for any photographer looking to extend their camera battery life, as well as just have a more comfortable experience taking photos! UPDATE: A day later and the battery grip is now rendering my camera unusable. So now I get the “battery incompatible” error. Save yourself the hassle and go with the native grip, not this piece of garbage.

Ottimo rapporto qualità prezzo, anche se è un oggetto fatto in plastica (ma di buona fattura) è un oggetto solido con una ottima presa. Si sa che l'originale Canon è fatto di lega di magnesio (come la 5d mk ii) e quindi è normale trovarlo a quasi 300 euro nuovo ma per quasi 40 euro si può prendere questo oggetto molto valido anche se è di plastica. Il suo lo fa e bene anche, tanto quello che serve è la possibilità di avere più durata di batteria, con 2 batterie lp-e6 danno la possibilità di scattare dai 1500 ai 1700 scatti con il mirino e dai 360 ai 400 scatti in Live View, (anche se in realtà penso che nessuno farà più di 200-400 foto in un giorno) e la possibilità di fare foto in verticale con una presa migliore e con più stabilità.

I've used it numerous times with no trouble. Works well!

Battery grip works well.

after of few times using and on year later stop working

Brilliant price of equipment
