I have this grip and it works fine, but I find I preffer using the camera without it.
New A-Mount, Hip Hip Hoorah!
I am glad I was wrong and Sony made a new A mount camera.
Now I hope they will show a real commitment and produce a state of the art A moint camera with the latest best tecnology.
The A68 will not sell well but serves its desired function…life support for A mount.
Heeeeey look who’s here. Did you know Sony brought another A-mount camera?
The new a68 and all the specs are prominently featured on all the Canon rumor sites.
They seem to be really enjoying this anouncement because unlke the A7rii this camera represents no threat to Canon.
These grips are huge considering what little battery they hold. They fit 2 batteries where they could at least 4.
I agree, but this is how Copy-cat brands work. They copy everything, including the flaws of the product they try to immitate, they don’t know how to innovate compared to the product they copy from.
All that had to do was maybe extend the height with another cm at most, and they would have been able to stack 4-5 batteries vertically on the grip.
Maybe even 6 batteries if they could somehow make the 6th slot fill the internal space in the real camera grip.
That way they would sell a TON of additional batteries as well, but oh well.
Oh, I wasn’t even thinking that way, fitting that many original Sony batteries is neither efficient use of space or money. I was thinking of filling most of the internal space with one lithum polymer battery, because even original Sony grips only hold so little.
The remote controller seems so unnecessary to me since the camera can do so much more by using WLAN and smartphone app…and, honestly….who’s out that days owning a 3000€ camera but not having a smartphone…?
Of course we all have smartphones but it’s so much more intuitive to work with a physical remote.
This is very narrow minded thinking. First, the built-in app is generally more limited than these intervalometers in terms of what kinds of combinations of programming you can do. Second, they will last days on a single battery while your phone will die running a control app in a matter of hours or less.
Not everyone is using these tools in the simplistic way you imagine.
This Grip is made by “Neewer”, very unreliable company. I have purchased two (2) of their power-grips for A6000 none of them was working.
Their tech support did reply to my initial complaint but no help.
I will rather buy SONY original product even tho it’s more expensive however it work like a charm.
I too tried the grip for my A6000, exact same experience.
I got this grip from this seller and it did not work on my A7rII or my A7II! FYI I do like the remote to fire the shutter and the intervalometer sounds like something to have if you needed as the Sony apt is awful.
Sounds like nothing is working for you, operator error perhaps?
That wobbly grip will amplify the shutter slap and lens wobble! Gotta get a good grip for the tripod only A7m2
You do need to get a grip.
Yeah, well you, too, m8! But you’ll have to buy a Canoon for that. Something that really fills your hand. Not that you would know about that lel
I get it, sensor envy.
How good is this grip compared to the OEM?
