1. Sony Ag-R2

Thanks to this robust handle attachment, you have the camera well under control, so you can look forward to comfortable handling and stable shots. The sturdy and lightweight handle allows spontaneous snapshots to be taken without the risk of the camera falling down. Elastomer and polycarbonate-like material protects the camera from scratches. Safe handling of the camera for uncomplicated recording of Selfies. Slim and lightweight design that doesn't carry weight. 

2. Sony GP-VPT2BT

The grip surface repels dust and moisture. Since the grip operates without cables, the covers for the camera ports can remain closed to ensure maximum dust and moisture resistance. Wireless Bluetooth communication means that no connection cables are needed to transmit control signals from the grip to the camera. Simply focus and shoot – completely cable-free.

With a compatible camera, you can use the remote for photo and video recordings while holding the grip normally, without needing to touch the camera. Any function assigned to the camera's C1 button can also be selected via the C1 button on the grip remote.

The quick tilt function allows you to easily adjust the ideal camera angle for a variety of subjects and perspectives. Whether you’re taking selfies or capturing a subject, the tilt function lets you comfortably capture the right moment every time.

Quickly and easily position the camera for product photography, selfies, or videos. Increase your chances of capturing the perfect moment, even when taking photos or videos without assistance. This, along with the easy angle adjustment of the grip, allows for vertical shots with optimal stability, even in under 90° locking positions.

The carefully designed grip offers optimal stability and comfort, whether attached to a compact camera or a mirrorless interchangeable lens camera. The remote buttons are easily accessible while holding the grip, allowing for smooth, intuitive operation. Bend the integrated legs of the grip outward, and it transforms into a practical, stable tripod, giving you both hands free for vlogging and other activities.

6. Nikon MB-D18 battery block

The MB-D18 is a water-repellent and dust-proof multifunctional handle. It enables higher frame rates and longer battery-powered use of the D850.

When the D5 is used in the MB-D18 of the EN-EL18B lithium-ion battery, the maximum frame rate of the D850 increases to 9 fps. With one charge of this battery pack you can take up to 5,140¹ photos and up to 210 minutes of video.

The MB-D18 also allows more stable handling of the camera when shooting in portrait format. An alternative shutter release button and multifunction selector and AF start buttons make portrait shooting easier. The function handle also has secondary front and rear dials. 

7. Sony Vg-C3em

The design of the VG-C3EM grip makes operating the camera in a vertical position almost as easy as in a horizontal one, as it features nearly the same buttons and controls as the back of the camera. For example, the vertical grip includes a multifunction dial for quick selection of the AF point.

The shape of the VG-C3EM grip matches that of the α9 body. This ensures a more secure handling, and when shooting in portrait orientation, it provides nearly the same stability as in landscape orientation.

The VG-C3EM vertical grip can hold and charge two NP-FZ100 batteries. You can check the remaining battery charge in percentage via the battery level indicator on the camera's LCD display (minimum unit 1%). When one battery is depleted, the other automatically activates to ensure uninterrupted operation.

An effective dust and moisture-resistant sealing protects buttons and controls as well as connections and electrical contacts, ensuring stability even in harsh environments.

You can charge the batteries inserted in the vertical grip via the camera's USB port without removing the grip from the camera body.

This grip, like the α9, is made of magnesium alloy and is extremely robust and lightweight.

Using this accessory in combination with the adapter mounts LA-EA2/EA4 is not supported. When both are used simultaneously, it is difficult to hold the grip due to the narrow gap between the accessory and the lens adapter mount. 

8. Canon EG-E1

The extension grip does not provide alternative controls for shooting in portrait mode or a separate handle, but is used to customise the compact and lightweight design of the EOS RP when required, making it look like an integral part of the camera. Thanks to the integrated cover for the memory card and battery compartment, it is not necessary to remove the grip to access them. This grip also features a tripod base and a knurled aluminium tripod ring - the style and functionality of the EOS RP camera are in no way compromised by the grip. 

9. Sony Vg-C2em

Three custom buttons and other important interfaces on the housing ensure a secure grip and consistent control for vertical or horizontal shots. It accommodates two NP-FW50 batteries (sold separately) for extended endurance during long recordings. The secure grip and stability for vertical shots provide dust and moisture protection and are extremely reliable under various conditions. The additional battery compartment allows for a total recording time of 190 minutes. With three extra buttons, you have immediate control over custom assignment functions. 

10. Olympus HLD-9 battery handle for E-M1 Mark II

The new ergonomic battery holder HLD-9, designed to be frost-resistant (-10 °C) as well as dust and splash-proof, is particularly practical and reliable when used with the Olympus OM-D E-M1 Mark II. With the HLD-9, the photographer has a powerful lithium-ion battery BLH-1 in the camera and another in the battery holder. The HLD-9 battery holder features the same arrow buttons, two control dials, and two function buttons at the back as the camera, ensuring that there are virtually no differences in the controls, whether you are using the camera in landscape or portrait orientation. The optional AC-5 power adapter is suitable for studio shoots or other situations where the camera is used for extended periods, so you don't have to worry about the battery level. You can also attach the optional GS-5 grip strap to optimize ergonomics when using a telephoto lens, while also allowing for the attachment of a shoulder strap.
