Sony VG-C1EM Vertical Battery Grip

The Sony VG-C1EM is a vertical battery grip that adds portrait-orientation shooting controls and extended battery capacity to compatible Sony cameras. It weighs just 300g, keeping your setup light without sacrificing ergonomics.

What you get

• Portrait-orientation shutter release and control layout for comfortable vertical shooting
• Extended battery capacity for longer shooting sessions
• Connects directly through the camera's battery compartment interface for a seamless fit
• Weighs 300g — a minimal addition to your camera body
• Every used item comes with a minimum 12 months warranty

Compatibility

The VG-C1EM is designed for specific Sony Alpha camera bodies. Battery grip interfaces vary across Sony's lineup, so always verify your exact camera model against Sony's official compatibility list before purchasing. The grip slots into the battery compartment of supported bodies, giving you a secure, integrated feel rather than an add-on afterthought.

Who is it for?

If you shoot portraits, weddings, or events where you frequently switch between landscape and portrait orientation, a vertical grip makes a real difference. Rather than awkwardly twisting your wrist to hold the camera sideways, you get a full set of controls in a natural grip position. Picking up a second-hand VG-C1EM is a smart way to add that comfort without paying full retail — and with a minimum 12 months warranty on every pre-owned item, it's a low-risk upgrade.
