I bought this years ago and use it for my DCR-DVD650 and my HDR-TD10 3D HDR-CX230 camcorder and these camcorders and both heavy but it handles them both with no problem

I purchased my shooting grip in January 2019 and took it on a month long asian trip. It is lightweight and easy to use. It provides a comfortable grip for my small mirrorless Sony camera. It helps me keep the camera steady. It is easy to switch from photo to video, The grip adds bulk to an otherwise pocket size camera, but it is not so large that it can still fit inside large pockets and small fanny packs. Unfortunately, I hit it against something and now it does not work. I am buying another one as the grip is an important accessory for my Sony camera.... Read More  Hide

I purchased the small Sony camera and the shooting grip at the same time with the goal of using it on a trip to Vietnam. It worked very well. I love the grip, but did not use the tripod function very much. You don't have to squint to see which button to push on the camera as the markings on the grip are easy to see and use. You can shoot with one hand, extend the camera further than you can without the grip, and it still fits into large pockets or a purse. The down side is you have to remove the grip to get to the battery or the SD card which is an inconvenience. I gave it a 4 star rating as I banged it against something and it stopped working. My fault of course, but I keep hoping it there is an easy fix as it is an expensive grip/tripod. If I wiggle the connection to the camera, it sometimes (rarely) will take one picture using the grip, but otherwise it does not work at all. It worked great for a year and helped me take a few thousand pictures. If anyone has had a similar experience, is there a fix or do I have to buy another grip?... Read More  Hide

Easy to use and makes taking photo's and video a snap. Good ergonomics and fits your hand with all the controls easy to reach. Allows you to tilt your camera to different angles and reverse mount it for vlogging with full control. Coming from a design background, my only complaint I have is the straight plug on the mini USB cable. When plugged into your camera, it sticks straight out ready to catch anything it gets near to. Just be careful. Wish the Sony engineers would have installed a right-angle connector instead allowing for a narrower profile when attached to your camera. This would allow you to keep the grip attached to the camera at all times and put away into your camera bag without having to remove it every time. Otherwise a good product though a bit pricey....
