Battery Grip

One thing about owning a Sony Alpha is the size of the original grip. For the price i got it for i can't complain for an entry level DSLR with twin lens kit.

But for a gorilla paw like mine, it leaves the ring and pinky finger hanging loose. So there i was surfing around Alphanatics and Lowyat when i stumble upon a 3rd party brand Phottix which carries the battery grip alternative to the Sony original.

More than half the price with an additional battery thrown in.






As you can see from above, its quite substantial now....so i can hold it easily now. But with the Flash Pack and all it can be quite heavy later.

You can google the stie at http://www.phottix.com/ it does have alot of cool gadgets for newbie photographers like me.

Then again its not the equipment that maketh the picture but the person taking it....

Well onwards on my journey as a newbie photographer.

Hehehe..
