Sony VCT-SGR1 Shooting Grip
Highlights from the Sony RX100 VI announcement earlier today include
- Maintains compact body size of acclaimed RX100 series while adding a ZEISS® Vario-Sonnar T* 24-200mm F2.8 – F4.5 Large Aperture High Magnification Zoom Lens
- World’s Fastest 0.03 seconds AF speed combined with 315 focal-plane phase-detection AF points covering approximately 65% of frame
- 1.0-type stacked 20.1 MP Exmor RS™ CMOS image sensor with DRAM chip and upgraded BIONZ X™ image processor and Front-end LSI
- High-speed continuous shooting at up to 24 fps with full AF/AE tracking
- Optical image stabilization equivalent to a 4.0-stop faster shutter speed
- High Resolution 4K (vi) Movie Shooting with full pixel readout and no pixel binning plus 4K HDR for instant HDR workflow
And, a new grip for vloggers was also announced hat fits the RX0 and RX100.
Named the VCT-SGR1, the vertically-oriented shooting grip connects via a Multi/Micro USB Terminal. It is extremely compact and lightweight, and can adjust angles up 70 degrees or down to 100 degrees to capture different perspectives including high-angle shots, low-angle shots and self-portraits.
The grip features several buttons at the top of the grip including shutter release, REC stop/start and zoom functionality, allowing for easy fingertip control for both right and left handed usage.
The bottom of the grip can be used as a tripod, making it an ideal accessory for group photos or low-light shooting conditions to avoid camera shake when shooting at slower shutter speeds.
Learn more about the RX100 VI in the video below, my post, and from Sony.
The RX100 VI will ship next month for $1200. I suggest you get the grip too. Looks like a nice compliment to the RX0 as well, as I’ve shared it’s one of my favorite cameras from Sony.
It take it with me everywhere.
The new VCT-SGR1 Shooting Grip will ship this September in North America for approximately $100.
