It works until it doesn't. Just returned mine. It was working fine for few hours...until battery power went below 65%. After that camera started showing battery depleted. And that is regardless of the fact that battery in bay 2 was fully charged. I had to connect USB for few minutes and it would go back to showing real battery level. Only to go down in few shots again. I opened a case with Meike and they said that my copy is "defective" (after about a week wait) offered a "free" replacement but I had to pay for grip's round trip to China and back, which of course totally defeated the purpose. So I just return it to the seller. The fit and finish and overall feel is pretty good....if only it would do what it design to do.

Hi,Gee, I thought the grip you bought is an old version which we didnt state it is compatible with a6000,so it might come with some battery drainage problem but for new version,it works perfectly. Bruce
@geeeee82687 жыл бұрын
It's not a drainage problem. The problem is that my camera says "battery depleted" and turns off while both batteries are at over 60%. Is there a way to determine version? Or you talking about 6300 versus 6500 versions?

You have to be careful when taking vertical/portrait shots that the cable doesn't loosen or slip out. Your videos are great and i watch them all the time. On another note, Sony needs to make better batteries that don't drain so fast!

I have and use this grip on my A6300 and it works well for how it's designed. My only 'pet peeve' is the cable that attaches to the side port. They get in the way and have fallen off during transport or putting the camera back in the bag. I have not found any other manufacturer who can make a grip for the A6300 that does NOT have the cable....unless one of your viewers has found one. Please let me know.

Mark I don't believe one exist since it would need the additional electrical connections coming from the dummy batteries and the those contacts are strictly just power no other signaling is coming from there hence why the usb cable is needed for controlling the shutter just like a shutter release.

I have it it's a pretty good lens, takes great pictures and is fairly sharp wide open however I recommend stopping it down to f2.5. The quality is great, it's all metal but it has a weird lens hood that screws on and the lens cap attaches to that. The focus ring is not very smooth however, it can be tight and loose at certain points. keep in mind the 1.5x crop factor making this lens hard to use indoor on an apsc camera. Overall it's great for portraits if you have the space to step back and it's very affordable. I recommend it if you can get over the focus ring

Based on your video I was going to purchase one of these, however after some digging I have found numerous complaints and even a KZbin video regarding the batteries draining within 1-2 day, with the camera off. Equally as troubling is the fact that Meike are removing comments on these issues from their videos. Very troublesome and extremely disingenuous behavior on their part. Are you experiencing the same? Also, is there another company which I can trust which makes a similar product? I had their product on my D800E/D810 but at this time am hesitant to give them any business. Thanks for the Sony 'A' support.

According to Meike the new grip shouldnt have the issues of the older model, but I would suggest testing it out to make sure you get a good one no matter what.
