Sony VG-C77AM Vertical Battery Grip for a77, a77 II and a99 II

The Sony VG-C77AM is a vertical battery grip that gives your a77, a77 II, or a99 II DSLR a more secure and comfortable hold when you turn the camera on its side. By mirroring the main shutter release and essential controls, it lets you frame portraits or shoot tall subjects without twisting your wrist into awkward positions. You feel as if the camera was built for vertical work right from the factory.

Inside, the grip accepts two NP-FM500H InfoLITHIUM batteries (sold separately). When one pack runs low, the grip switches to the other automatically, so you can keep shooting without stopping to swap cells. A clear battery indicator tells you exactly how much power remains, making it easy to plan long sessions.

The outer shell stands up to real-world conditions. Seals and gaskets keep out dust and light moisture, while the overall build feels solid enough for demanding field use. Whether you spend the day covering sports from the sidelines or capturing a wedding ceremony that runs long into the evening, the grip helps the camera stay balanced and ready.

Many photographers also appreciate the extra surface area. It spreads weight across your hand, reducing fatigue during long telephoto or studio sessions. If you often work on a tripod, the added height raises the viewfinder to a more comfortable eye level, which can improve posture during hours of tethered shooting.
