- Both the Sony and Meike battery grip will help extend your battery life. The question I didn't answer in the video is if the video will continue recording even after the first battery is exhausted, and the answer is yes. It will continue to record until both batteries are exhausted.
thank you for watching! feedback always appreciated.

I just bought the Sony OEM battery grip for my a7IV. It was on sale but still expensive. However, it is very well made, very solid. It’s an exact match for the look & feel of the a7IV. It has a safe storage place for the battery compartment door that you need to remove before installing the grip. (Removing that little door is quite easy.) The buttons and dials feel like & work like the ones on the camera body. I bought the grip for better ergonomics in case I do a lot of vertical shooting, and also for double the battery life if I do any lengthy videos. It does make the camera bulkier and heavier, so that’s a consideration. If you need a battery grip for an a7IV, I recommend this one rather than the 3rd party types. But I doubt it is essential for most a7IV owners, as the battery life of the Sony batteries is very good, so that carrying one spare battery would cover most shooting situations and avoid the bulk.
Thanks for the video dissemination, now I see that Meike looks very cheap, I haven't seen it before
big difference i just discovered: the 1/4 20 location on the bottom will NOT allow you to fit inside the smallrig cage for the camera with batterygrip.
good discovery. thanks for sharing!
Which one won't fit?
@@wohfabthe meike won't fit the small rig cage.
Can anyone verify that the Meike is compatible with the A7R5. PLEASE. Thank you for making this video.
appreciate your efforts, but you are not vividly presenting. get a bit boring after a while. sorry for being blunt.
Love it! I’ve been waiting for honest negative feedback. I appreciate you and I’ll put it in my to do list to make another video with improvements.
@@Choom42 the meike doesn't feel cheap. it has a rubbery feel just like the sony, but remember it doesnt have weather sealing like the sony. shouldn't be a problem for most people.
