The Meike Battery Grip is a grip/battery holder designed specifically for the Sony A800, A850 and A900 SLR cameras. This grip provides a solid and comfortable grip. The extra set of control buttons makes vertical shooting easier.
Comfort with the MK-A900
There are various reasons for purchasing a battery grip for your camera. It often happens that a camera is just a bit too small for the photographer's hands. Dutch hands are slightly bigger than the hands of the Japanese camera designers. In that case, a battery grip ensures that the camera is much easier to hold. Also, photographers that often shoot in the portrait mode will enjoy the extra shutter button that is attached to the grip.
Long life
Nowadays, digital SLR cameras are increasingly used for filming in high resolution. This is done in combination with the cameras' live view function. Because the battery runs out much faster because of this, a battery grip is an ideal solution. After all, two batteries can be placed in it. Another advantage is the higher weight of the camera. In combination with large telephoto lenses, the extra weight allows for much more stable photography.
