Here’s one for Sony A6000 users who’ve been asking for a battery grip: Neewer Battery Grip for Sony A6000 ($50 at Amazon) works with either one or two NP-FW50 lithium batteries and supports external charging through the micro USB port (two batteries can be charged at the same time.) The kit Includes a infrared wireless remote control. The grip connects to the a6000’s Micro USB port to enable the vertical shutter release button for more comfortable vertical shooting.

Is there an Arca-Swiss compatible plate that works when you have this battery grip installed?
Chek with Neewer to see if their own L-plate fits.
It’d be nice if these grips used a LARGE grip sized battery, something like the old Olympus E1 system maybe?
Really dont like thatcheap cord hanging out and having to plug it in. Defeats the clean look and another thing to possibly get hung and break the USB connection. Not good
Because Sony a6000 was not designed for a vertical release it does not have internal shutter release connection so the only way to make the vertical release button work is by either connection by the micro-terminal port or WiFi.
How can I charge the batteries with the neewer battery grip, in the manual it says I can but the description is rather nusty…. can you help???
I think you need to remove the batteries to charge.
So you could use the batterygrip without the cable just for charging? Or do you need the cable for charging the camera with the batterygrip?
I never charge batteries in-camera.
sry, I meant like.. Does the batterygrip give power to the camera without the weird-lookin cable? Is the small cable just necessary for the shutter release button?
I believe it’s to enable the remote and the auxillary release on the grip.
