Sony VCT-SGR1 Shooting Grip

This was a great add at a discounted price when bought with the camera. The tripod or handle hold are sturdy but not too big and the finger shutter, zoom control, and movie on/off are just great for me. Small enough to fit in a pocket, yet big enough to get the job done. Thanks for making this easy for me.

I purchased my shooting grip in January 2019 and took it on a month long asian trip. It is lightweight and easy to use. It provides a comfortable grip for my small mirrorless Sony camera. It helps me keep the camera steady. It is easy to switch from photo to video, The grip adds bulk to an otherwise pocket size camera, but it is not so large that it can still fit inside large pockets and small fanny packs. Unfortunately, I hit it against something and now it does not work. I am buying another one as the grip is an important accessory for my Sony camera.

This grip attached to my Sony A7 seamlessly. Works Great for Selfies and photos. Easy to attach and easy to use. Extremely satisfied...

I got this as a bundled item to my Sony Rx-100 vi. Glad I did. If you are traveling, this is a great little table tripod that takes up almost no weight or space in your luggage. Two wings spread out for a 3-legged support for the camera. No batteries needed. Just a few moments of your time. I don't know if it is worth .98 retail, but for half price bundled, glad I got it and I recommend it to others. I don't recommend trying to use it with a DSLR.

I purchased the small Sony camera and the shooting grip at the same time with the goal of using it on a trip to Vietnam. It worked very well. I love the grip, but did not use the tripod function very much. You don't have to squint to see which button to push on the camera as the markings on the grip are easy to see and use. You can shoot with one hand, extend the camera further than you can without the grip, and it still fits into large pockets or a purse. The down side is you have to remove the grip to get to the battery or the SD card which is an inconvenience. I gave it a 4 star rating as I banged it against something and it stopped working. My fault of course, but I keep hoping it there is an easy fix as it is an expensive grip/tripod. If I wiggle the connection to the camera, it sometimes (rarely) will take one picture using the grip, but otherwise it does not work at all. It worked great for a year and helped me take a few thousand pictures. If anyone has had a similar experience, is there a fix or do I have to buy another grip?

The person that designed this must have very small hands it needs to be 20mm longer and the connecting cable plugs in from the opposite side of the camera and sticks way too far which is a pain. Other that it works well especially for a left-handed person (with very small hands)
