Meike MK-A6300 Battery Grip Review For Sony A6000

[@TheAnthill1234]

Loose the music.

[@joshsutton804]

Line Item I'm inclined to agree with you ;)

[@bencurwen823]

Great review, thank you, but please lose the music, or turn it down. I can't really hear you that well.

[@joshsutton804]

Ben Curwen I was thinking it myself, thanks for the feedback, much appreciated! :)

❤️❤️❤️

[@aciducen1995]

Damn. Not a single video tell if this thing can support at zhiyun crane 2. Please tell me if someone know!

[@bondiecreative]

I’m getting a DJI Ronin S this week or next and will be doing some field tests/review. I have the Meike Battery Grip for my a6000 and will probably use it but I wouldn’t see why it wouldn’t work with the Crane 2. The Ronin S and Crane 2 have similar payload capabilities. Plus they can hold full frame cameras so no reason crane 2 couldn’t hold the grip +cam!

Hi, i used MK A6300 Pro for my Sony A6000, but i can't use the remote, is there any setting at the camera ? Till now, i still don't know what for the channel at the small display. and every time i push the remote, there is no light turn on. is that normal ?

[@prodmartinez]

Where can i buy a spare dummy battery i lost mine anybody help please! Cant use my mka6300 grip without the fake battery that needs to inside the camera

[@JosephelLeon]

Great video, thanks! Will this work with Sony a6100?

[@Empirehog]

Hi Joseph, the MK-A6300 battery grip should work with the A6000, A6100, A6300 and A6400.

[@oking8]

I have the exact same one, but I can’t turn on the camera unless the battery grip switch on.

[@Empirehog]

Sounds like an interesting bug, the on/off switch on my grip just powers the grip's own shutter actuation button and not the overall camera's power.

[@tim3854]

Appreciate the review, does it drain one battery and then automatically switch to the next battery? I read some grips don't (you need to manually press a button( but I can't remember if that was with the Meike grip or not). Do you think there's any way to attach an "L plate" to this is eliminate the wobble when used on a tripod?

[@geoffreymee7671]

The grip WILL transfer smoothly over to the next battery when the first is drained. Does on mine anyway.

[@s4msn_744]

Geoffrey Mee which camera do you use?

[@diamondfirst9956]

I bought the same grip for sony a7ii everything works great but when I connected the camera to charge the battery the battery wont charge at all, not#1 or #2 why is that? if you know, thanks

[@joshsutton804]

Hi Diamond First, These battery grips don't have recharge capabilities, probably a reason why they don't cost all that much so you will have to either use an external battery recharger or remove the grip and fake battery and plug the camera into the mains directly. Hope this helps. :)

[@Crazyworldd160]

the music so so loud i dn't know what your saying .

[@pxtokarev]

It makes a larger camera out of a camera which main purpose is to be smaller.

[@GirdHerd]

I enjoy the narrative but the background music is overwhelming.

[@anewfacestudio]

Hi Sir, Nice video. Actually i lost my Meike MK-A6300 "fake Battery". Is it available in any online stories?

[@Empirehog]

I've not been able ton find the battery, you might have some look contacting Meike directly.

[@dieterrommerskirchen8990]

Why not normal AA-Akkus? This will be much cheaper!

[@rashwahiddan4047]

Can you use this on an A7Rii?

[@Empirehog]

Hi Rash, this is only compatible with the A6000 system except for the A6500. There are alternatives for the A7 series.

[@jetsmackedps4245]

can you link those please, its $79 here in canada

[@joshsutton804]

[@Marine_0317]

I would have watched your video all the way thru but the bloody music was not only too loud but terrible too. Couldn't hear most of what you were saying. 🤷🏻‍♂

[@dylanvanleuven1370]

Mine didn’t come with the fake battery

[@POTENZASKATE]

Does this decrease overheating problems?

[@mohsin_sait]

By a lot!

[@cottojn]

I need one for my a6400 help?

[@mohsin_sait]

The 6300 and 6400 have pretty much the same body. Order this one from Amazon and it should be fine.

[@natemassar]

Does it work for the sony a3000??

[@cobraracer5729]

In the future, please leave out the obnoxious, twangy, R&R music. Too annoying!

[@bigstick5278]

That cable shit is the deal breaker, and why make the camera body larger. I use my A6000 for street photography and manual lenses to keep the size down. Less intrusive looking is my deal.

[@mohsin_sait]

Some people prefer the better grip, plus it doubles battery life without worrying about swapping out the the battery. One other feature is it basically eliminates the overheating issue while recording.

[@raelarise1]

Actually purchased the cheap one too. Didn't work either.....

[@jedteng2650]

That cable is a turn off,especially that small door is opened...🙄

[@joshsutton804]

Jed Teng Yeah it an unfortunate design flaw with the early A6000 and A7 series cameras that battery grip extensions were not thought of. Hence why these grips have to act like a remote shutter release and connect via the micro USB port.
