I have some of the same things - 500 f/4, Tamron 150-600 G2, and so on.  Had things gone as I was TOLD by the camera store, I'd have had a Z9 in mid-April.  I was #12 when I ordered, and by end of April I was #9.  And they were coming in about 1 per month.  Always with the chance than an NPS member would jump the line.  My wife was the one that got me off the dithering and had my buy the Alpha 1.

Anyhow, I like the grip, but I have a Small Rig L-Bracket for the body - which is fabulous.  Depending on what I'm doing I leave the grip off.

Jeff A - you got lost somewhere in all the backing and forthing...  I DID get Mark Galer's Camset and install it.  He does a lot of things I don't do, where he's dealing with flickering lights and such, but I kept the stuff that seemed to work.

I also downloaded his e-book, so I'm going to be rummaging around in there.

One of the things I WISH Sony would do is treat the Tracking Toggle the same as the Tracking on.  The tracking on, which I believe you have to HOLD, automatically switches from non-tracking focus area to tracking focus area, but you DON'T have to have the tracking focus areas defined in the Area Limit.  The Tracking Toggle requires you to have tracking focus areas defined for it to work.  Steve Perry loves the Tracking On because he only has 4 or 5 total areas defined - all non-tracking, and when he pushes the Tracking on button and holds it, he gets the equivalent tracking area.  BUT, when he's jumping THROUGH the focus areas with the Focus Area Select button, he only has to go through a couple options...

But, that's a pretty niggly problem...
