Designed for the Sony Alpha 850 & 900 DSLRs the VG-C90AM Vertical Grip provides a stable, comfortable grip for holding the camera in a vertical position - ideal for portrait photography. A low-position shutter release button is provided for greater shooting comfort and stability whilst the rubberised surfaces on the thumb area and bottom of grip allows surer, safer handling. The main control buttons are duplicated in a convenient position for ease of use in either shooting position. Capable of holding two high-capacity NP-FM500H batteries (not included) to provide additional power for extended shooting. An accurate remaining time indication of each battery is shown as a percentage on camera screen. The tough magnesium alloy body with seals protects against dust and moisture. Two strap holes can attach to the optional STP-GB1AM Hand strap for extra stability.

Comments about Sony VG-C90AM Vertical Grip for A850 / A900:

The grip although functional is a complete design disaster, it feels comfortable in the hand and the front button and front wheel feel seem ideally placed. When it comes to rear of the grip nothing works ergonomically. The rear wheel is too low it should be where the on/off switch is. (why do you need an on/off switch anyway) if you have to have one it should be down the bottom of the grip out of way, the multi selector should be where the wheel is now, the Custom and Function buttons should be where the Sony badge is and the AE Lock and the AF/MF buttons should be to along side the other two buttons, that just leaves the AE Lock button to be placed just above the rear wheel. Would I recommend to a friend, probably, as it likely to be a lot more reliable than a third party unit.
