Sony VG-C4EM Vertical Grip

I shoot weddings with an a7IV and the extra battery life this grip provides has completely changed how I work — I can get through a full ceremony and reception without swapping once. The vertical shutter button sits right where my thumb expects it, and the whole thing balances beautifully with a 70-

Battery life is fantastic now that I can keep two batteries in the grip, and the vertical shutter button feels just as responsive as the camera's main one. The extra heft actually makes the α7IV feel better balanced in my hand with a heavy lens attached.

The shutter button placement is perfectly aligned for my index finger, so portrait shots feel just as natural as landscape ones. It’s also got the same weather-sealing as the body, which gives me peace of mind on outdoor shoots.
