SKU CH-4BXR-KHB4Q

A vertical grip for the Sony Alpha a9 III that holds two NP-FZ100 batteries for extended shooting and mirrors the camera's horizontal controls

  • TypeAccessory
  • Extended shooting time with parallel dual NP-FZ100 battery operation
  • Identical vertical grip ergonomics and control layout as a9 III
  • Magnesium alloy frame with dust and moisture resistant construction
  • Remaining battery life for both cells shown on camera display
  • Compact lightweight design built for reliable long-session handling

Ergonomic vertical control

The Sony VG-C5 Vertical Grip attaches to the Sony Alpha a9 III Mirrorless Digital Camera and replicates the horizontal grip layout for vertical shooting. It provides identical button placement and handling so operation feels the same in either orientation.

Parallel dual-battery power

The grip holds two NP-FZ100 batteries and uses parallel power supply circuitry to draw from both simultaneously. This design extends operating duration beyond the earlier VG-C4EM Vertical Grip and shows remaining capacity for each battery on the camera display.

Magnesium frame with sealing

A magnesium alloy chassis gives the grip a rigid structure while matching the camera body's dust and moisture resistance. The construction is built to maintain alignment and control feel during prolonged sessions in challenging conditions.

Questions about this item

How does the parallel power supply change battery life compared to the previous grip?

Parallel supply draws from both NP-FZ100 packs at once, giving longer total shooting time than the VG-C4EM.

Does the grip use the same NP-FZ100 batteries as the a9 III body?

Yes, it accepts two NP-FZ100 cells and shows remaining charge for each on the camera display.

Will the magnesium-alloy frame and weather sealing match the a9 III body?

The grip shares the same dust- and moisture-resistant construction as the camera body.
