The tears from A1 shooters about the A1 III being "huge" will be hilarious
Funny you mentioned this, Scott. Today, for the very first time in my life, I used a battery grip. I bought a new Sony VG-C5 grip in March for an air-to-air shoot that got cancelled. Today is the first time ever I mounted it on the A1II. I was shooting the F-35B and Blue Angels on the Naval Academy campus, from the ground. The new Sony bodies naked are still a bit small for me but with an L-bracket, they are PERFECT, even with big teles. We are all different. I know you lug your Z9 around for all kinds of shoots, my hat off to you I will keep the grip but I don't intend to use it unless changing battery is not allowed (like going an air-to-air shoot).
