Another thing that makes this great is that it makes the grip substantial enough for larger hands so you don t cramp up with the tiny a7s grip when paired with any zoom lens.
Meike sony a7 battery grip review.
I have large hands and while i love the smaller frame of the a7 mirrorless this battery grip adds the right balance to the sony 70 200 fe lens especially.
Yes meike does make some grips for cameras that don t have official provisions like the a6xxx series but they re kludgy garbage that rely on a cable going to the wired remote port.
The a7 series have an official battery grip this is just a modified enhanced clone of that.
This grip extension helps so much and also will work with a wrist strap if you choose to go that route to save your hands on long gigs.

I don t think the gx80 has any official provision for a grip.
The quality and fit and finish are really great for this price.
Price balance and feel added to the a7 body additional battery life.
I can t see anything the sony does that this battery grip doesn t in fact this grip came with a wifi remote which the sony does not have more on the remote later.
