The Battery Grip for Sony A7 IV (model BG-S7) is a professional-grade accessory designed to maximize your shooting potential with compatible Sony Alpha cameras including the a1, a9 II, a7S III, a7R V, a7R IV, and a7 IV. By housing two NP-FZ100 rechargeable batteries simultaneously, this grip effectively doubles your camera’s battery life — keeping you shooting longer on demanding sessions without interruption.
Beyond extended power, the BG-S7 transforms your vertical shooting experience with a dedicated shutter release button and a full secondary control set — including front and rear dials, C1/C2 function buttons, AF-ON, AEL, and a Multi-Selector Joystick — all wrapped in a comfortable rubberized non-slip grip that feels as natural as your camera body itself.
