Overview

The Neewer VG-C2EM Battery Grip is a third-party replacement designed specifically for Sony A7II, A7RII, and A7SII mirrorless cameras. It accommodates two NP-FW50 batteries, effectively doubling your available power for longer photo shoots, events, and travel sessions where charging opportunities are limited. The grip provides a full set of vertical shooting controls — including a shutter release, multifunction dial, and custom buttons — making portrait-orientation photography far more comfortable and natural than reaching awkwardly across the camera body.

What sets this grip apart from many competitors is the included 2.4G wireless LCD remote control, which operates at distances up to 100 meters. The remote supports timed exposures, interval shooting, and a clock display mode, adding genuine creative flexibility for long-exposure photography and time-lapse work. The grip itself is built with a surface texture that closely matches the Sony camera body and incorporates dust and moisture sealing at the connection point. For photographers seeking extended battery life and vertical shooting comfort without paying the premium for Sony's OEM grip, this Neewer bundle presents a compelling package.
