Must have accessory

VCT-SGR1 12 April 2020 by Finny75 (United Kingdom) Verified Purchaser Verified

Bought this a few weeks ago, loving the grip, capture, zoom and video at a touch, mini tripod feature is also clever, a definite must have accessory.

Great addition to my Cybershot

VCT-SGR1 06 June 2019 by SurferJack (USA)

Easy to use and makes taking photo's and video a snap. Good ergonomics and fits your hand with all the controls easy to reach. Allows you to tilt your camera to different angles and reverse mount it for vlogging with full control. Coming from a design background, my only complaint I have is the straight plug on the mini USB cable. When plugged into your camera, it sticks straight out ready to catch anything it gets near to. Just be careful. Wish the Sony engineers would have installed a right-angle connector instead allowing for a narrower profile when attached to your camera. This would allow you to keep the grip attached to the camera at all times and put away into your camera bag without having to remove it every time. Otherwise a good product though a bit pricey.

The cord needs to be removable/replaceable

VCT-SGR1 11 November 2020 by Rich_n_Lukang (USA)

I got the Shooting Grip bundled with the RX0 II. It's convenient and I use it a lot. I've only had it about 2 months and I've already bent, still works, the mini-usb plug. If it breaks, I either have to take the time to get it fixed or buy a new one. With as much money as it costs in the first place. It's a shame that it could be rendered useless by a part that only would only take a couple of bucks to replace should it be a regular usb to mini-usb cable that unplugged from the handle. The only reason I use it, now, is the ease it gives in switching from taking photos to taking videos without having to go into the menus to change the settings.

Provides a great grip for a small camera

VCT-SGR1 14 October 2020 by Not tintype (USA)

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.

I put it on and did not take it off my Sony camera

VCT-SGR1 14 April 2020 by Char2 (USA)

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?

Could have been designed a lot better

VCT-SGR1 21 February 2020 by Gordon S (USA)

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)
