User Ratings and Reviews

5 Stars Should have bought sooner
I take thousands of sports photos of my children and this piece of camera equipment I should have purchased months ago.

5 Stars The Judge
One of the best purchases I’ve made. Works great and looks professional with my Sony DSLR camera. Controls are at your finger tips and makes it easy on your hands and wrists for verticle shots. No reason to ever remove it from your camera because it does handle very nice with minimal additional weight. You can take pictures for an extended period with the extra battery storage (no more worry if you have enough battery left for weddings or sporting events). A must have for the person that takes a lot of pictures. Can’t say enough about this verticle grip. Buy one and make picture taking easier.

1 Star Vertical Grip
This item was advertised as for Sony Alpha Digital SLRs. When it arrived I found it did not fit my Sony Alpha A-100 camera. It cost me so far $13 in shipping to return the item. very dissapointed with this seller and with this transaction.

5 Stars Good Vertical Grip
This product functions exactly as designed and promoted. While the device does add weight to the camera (with the batteries), the exceptional design provides such good balance the additional “heft” is negated. The controls on the vertical grip are placed exactly where they should be to facility their quick and accurate manipulation, and perform flawlessly when utilized. I would most definitely recommend this vertical grip to anyone with a Sony A200 DSLR.

5 Stars Excellent accessory
The vertical grip improves the functionality of my camera, vertical shooting is much easier, and the added size and weight helps stabilize the camera. The Sony grip is well designed and well made.
