Vertical Battery Grip for Sony Alpha A7 II

The Sony VG-C2EM attaches to the Alpha A7 II to give photographers a secure vertical shooting position and extended operating time. It accepts two NP-FW50 batteries, sold separately, and manages them sequentially to maximise available power. Battery level appears as a percentage on the camera LCD.

Dust and moisture sealed construction

The grip body, buttons, dials, battery cover and connecting terminal are all sealed against dust and moisture for reliable outdoor use. Controls include an extra shutter button, front and rear dials and an Auto Exposure Lock button, all positioned for comfortable vertical handling. Batteries can be swapped without powering down the camera.

Check compatibility and battery stock

This grip fits only the Sony Alpha A7 II; other Alpha models will not mount or communicate correctly. You must supply your own NP-FW50 cells — two are required to reach the full runtime benefit. Verify that your camera firmware recognises the accessory before a critical shoot.
