Yes the handling is far better with the grip. I even leave it on for just sigma 35mm prime View attachment 219222
Many thanks for reminding me that I do actually have a Sony grip, I've just forgotten all about it! So my answer to you would be that I bought the grip for the very purpose you mention, I seem to remember that I found it useful, but the fact that I haven't used it for at least 6 months means that I can get along perfectly well without it. For what it's worth I don't have particularly big hands either and to make matters (slightly) worse I only use the 100-400 with the 1.4 tc.Sorry another question My 100-400 arrived today, looks a nice lens and quite well built. I'm hoping to get out with it tomorrow to give it a good test. Hand holding wise it feels ok but I'm wondering if a battery grip would help balance it better as its a little front heavy. Does anyone use a battery grip on a A73, A7R3 or A9? I've noticed the official Sony one is over £300 so I'm wondering if anyone has any third party recommendations.
They are very expensive, I agree. I actually use the extension grip and not a battery grip. Also stupid expensive but Jessops were so amazed I was actually buying some kit from them that they threw in the grip at a price I couldn't refuse! I wouldn't have bought it otherwise.I do have big hands and also have the 100-400 so was looking at a grip, but the sony price is too much for me. I notice too how much more expensive the meike version for sony is, compared to their nikon and canon copies
I will look at the difference, thank you. I don’t need the extra battery, just the support.They are very expensive, I agree. I actually use the extension grip and not a battery grip.

Just listed some Sandisk Extreme Pro 64GB UHSII SD memory cards if anyone needs any:

They weren’t sealed units thoslightly faster ones sold for less recently. So might be worth reconsidering your price

I’m a big fan of F Stop backpack. I’ve been using them for a number of years now. I tried shoulder bags but ended up with a sore shoulder from all the weight on one shoulder.**Boring bag question alert**
