Meike has released the MK-A9 II G hand grip that’s compatible with both the Sony a7R IV and the Sony a9 II.
The Meike MK-A9 II G costs $54.99 in the US and £54.99 in the UK.
If you would prefer the convenience of an l-bracket and hand grip combined then I’d recommend the SmallRig (LCS2417) L-Bracket instead.
I’m using the SmallRig on my own a7R IV and have zero complaints. Unlike many other SmallRig l-brackets this one thankfully does not rotate on the camera body. You can also remove the l-part and just use it as a grip extension if you wish.
The Meike looks like it continues the line of the hand grip, while the Smallrig seems to have a projection towards the lens at the bottom. How do they both feel in hand?
Also, do either of them affect access to flipping up the rear screen?
Hi Loch, I don’t own the Meike grip so I can’t comment on how it feels in the hand. But I’m very happy with the SmallRig l-bracket and I’ll often use this without the additional l-part attached, it feels comfortable in my hand and doesn’t get in the way of the screen, it doesn’t look like the Meike would interfere with the screen as well.
I second the Small Rig setup for the A7RIV, it’s awesome!
Cheers Scott! I have mine on most of the time now, it’s pretty nice for the price! 🙂
