Sony VG-C6 Vertical Grip

The Sony VG-C6 Vertical Grip is a professional vertical battery grip designed specifically for the Sony a7R VI, delivering enhanced handling, extended shooting endurance, and improved control for professional photography and video production.

Designed to hold one or two Sony NP-SA100 batteries, the VG-C6 significantly extends operating time for long shooting sessions, making it ideal for weddings, sports, wildlife, studio work, events, and professional filmmaking. The grip also supports parallel power supply, enabling efficient and stable power management during demanding workflows.

Its ergonomic extended design improves comfort and balance when shooting in both horizontal and vertical orientations. Dedicated vertical controls—including a secondary shutter button and multi-selector control—provide a more natural and intuitive shooting experience when capturing portraits or vertically framed content.

The grip supports USB charging through the camera body, allowing convenient in-camera charging without removing batteries from the grip.

Constructed with a durable magnesium alloy body and featuring weather-sealed protection, the VG-C6 is designed to withstand challenging shooting environments while maintaining the professional durability expected from Sony’s flagship accessories.

Reliable, comfortable, and built for demanding production use, the Sony VG-C6 Vertical Grip is an essential accessory for creators seeking extended battery life, enhanced vertical shooting control, and improved handling for the Sony a7R VI system.

Product Features in Detail

Grip hold and controls consistent with the α7R VI
The VG-C6 Vertical Grip offers secure hold and ergonomic controls consistent with the camera body, ensuring comfort during long shoots. It includes front and rear dials with a lock function, for seamless operation in both vertical and horizontal positions.

Optimized dual battery use for prolonged operation
The VG-C6 Vertical Grip holds two NP-SA100 batteries. When using two batteries, the camera will operate for nearly twice as long as when using one battery. Remaining battery time is shown on the camera display for confident shooting. Power and charging via the camera’s USB Type-C® connector1 are supported.

Part of a durable, reliable system
Built with the same dust and moisture resistance as the camera body, the VG-C6 Vertical Grip ensures reliable performance in tough conditions. Its magnesium alloy frame adds exceptional durability.

Environmentally conscious
Sony’s environmental plan “Road to Zero” aims for a zero environmental footprint by 2050. The VG-C6 uses recycled plastic materials, constituting more than 60% of the main unit’s plastic weight, including our durable SORPLAS™ material. We are also transitioning to non-plastic packaging materials.
