Sony AGR2 Attachment Grip (Black)

A common comment, if not complaint, about Sony’s CyberShot RX100 series of digital cameras is that the cameras are so small, and their surface finish so slippery, that it’s difficult to hold onto them when you’re trying to take pix or videos. I find that comment completely accurate; I always felt that I was on the verge of dropping my RX100M7 every time I fired it up, even though I had the wrist strap wrapped around my hand. That is, until I installed this Sony AGR2 Attachment Grip. This minuscule piece of black plastic improved the whole character of the camera in meaningful ways. Its slight bulge at the front of the camera, and its textured matte-finish surface, combine to provide both a little more bulk to grab onto and a little less slippery area to do so. Together, the result is much more secure handling. Installation is simple and straightforward, and the grip fits the camera perfectly. The adhesive sticks well, and I scrupulously followed the instructions, which caution: “Adhesion is not stable for several hours after attaching the attachment grip. Start using the camera again about one day after attaching the attachment grip.” By not using the camera for more than a full day after I installed the grip, I assured that it’s as secure as it will ever be; it feels like it’s molded right onto the camera (I didn’t try to pry it off, of course!). The adhesive will likely eventually dry out in the arid desert environment where I live. If it does, and if the grip falls off some day, I hope it doesn’t leave any residue on the camera that would make it difficult to install another one. Other reviewers complain that the camera with grip doesn’t fit into certain cases, and I’m sure that’s true. But the WERJIA Hard Carrying Case (ASIN B094N6GXCV) that I purchased holds the camera with grip with no problems at all. Whether or not Sony should have included this grip in the box with their pricey camera can be debated, but, since they didn’t, this add-on makes a great camera even better. Sure, it’s a lot to pay for a tiny piece of molded plastic, but the resulting improvement in the camera’s grippability and handling is well worth the price. I enthusiastically rate it at five well-deserved stars.

After agonizing forever on which grip to get for my DSC-RX100 III, I finally settled on this one and even though I cannot compare with the other products out there, I'm very happy with this purchase. I love it because: 1. It's comfortable, fits perfectly, looks seamless with the rest of the camera, even has "Sony" branded on it so it looks like a natural part of the camera. 2. No plastic or rubber smell. I can always tell the cheap products because they have that horrid plastic/rubber smell that I absolutely detest. This has no smell and the material is great quality. It has a slight give to it and is textured, giving it a very nice and secure feel. 3. Super easy to apply - just clean the surface of the camera (clean with a bit of alcohol to remove oils that can prevent maximum stickiness and wipe with a microfiber/lint free cloth), peel off the sticker on the back to reveal the adhesive, push it up against the base of the lens and line it up the upper line on the camera (just as shown in picture). It covers that entire right/lower part of the camera so you can't go wrong. Hold and put some pressure to warm the adhesive and get it to really stick completely. Done. 4. Really does make it easier to pick up because now there's a little lip you can grab onto to pick it up or when pulling it out of the camera case. Also makes it much more comfortable and secure to hold because now you have something to hold onto instead of relying on pure grip force against the slippery camera body. I do agree that Sony should have included this with the camera from the start. My DSC-HX50V came with one already on it - so I don't understand why the RX100 III wouldn't have it on - but, I am grateful that at least they provided an affordable option. My best guess is that the HX50V, with it's 30X zoom is obviously going to be a more outdoorsy kind of camera - so they added the grip for more "ruggedness". But the RX100 is a more refined device and not necessarily outdoorsy, so they wanted to give you the option of adding the grip. As you can see even in these reviews - some people don't like having the grip and prefers the way it comes. So it may be great marketing choice for Sony to be providing their customers with the option. After all, after spending so much on the camera, spending another $14.00 for the more rugged grip shouldn't be too big a deal.

This is a pretty great little add on to our camera. Though it irks me that a comfortable grip is an "add on" However we love the Sony RX100 m3 sooooooooo much it's worth this extra bit of bother. I found myself very nervous holding the camera before the grip. It's got a slick feeling little body with very little space to actually hold the unit. This is what makes it such a phenomenal go anywhere pocket sized camera...the down side is that lack of space makes it funky to hold. I always use a wrist strap when holding it for fear of dropping and admittedly I experienced a few bobbles/near misses before we got the grip. We got the grip and after waiting the required overnight for the grip to adhere well we are snapping pics like mad. The true test is we went for a drive earlier, gorgeous cloud day, I was snapping away like mad and it wasn't until we were coming home I even thought about how I was holding it. That's how a camera should feel, just an extension of yourself to help you capture the moment. This grip helps that connection. It was fast to assemble. Literally peel and stick. We made sure to wipe down the area the adhesive would stick to on the camera with a bit of rubbing alcohol to remove any greasy fingerprints. Lined it up, stuck it down, waited over night...easy. The grip doesn't poke out any further than the lens. Also it matches the tint bit of grip material that was already a part of the camera body on the back. Like I said, I wish we didn't have to get it but an afterthought by the camera company is better than not addressing this issue at all. I was a little put off by the price...I think for what it physically is they are charging way more than need to...but if I think of how awesome the camera is and if that camera's overall price had been $14.99 more would it have been worth getting that camera still? ...heck yeah. This camera rocks. So in my head I am just pretending the camera cost $14.99 more instead of admitting I paid that for a wee bit of a wedge of rubber and sticky tape. haha Feel free to use that justification for yourselves as well :)

Bought this for a RX100 III because the stock design is a bit too minimalist and not functional enough. This adds a small rubbery grip to the right side of the camera where it is normally very slick and metallic. It feels like a good quality product and fits perfectly against the curves of the camera. It looks very natural like it was built on the camera and for me it adds to the design. The installation was as simple as removing a wax back from the adhesive and applying the sticker to the camera. I didn't do anything fancy, I just lined it up and plopped it on. It seems to hold pretty well although if you apply it fairly lightly at first you do have the ability to adjust it perfectly into place before really sticking it to the camera. I think it is a great addition to the functionality of the camera without adding a lot of bulk like a case would. For the $15 I paid I think it was a decent price for what it is and the quality but I had to reduce the review by one star because for the price of these cameras and the price to make these grips, I think it should have been an included accessory. I know a lot of people might not use it but I think a lot of people would and it wouldn't have had to become an accessory for profit considering how slippery the camera feels in the hand. People may not feel this was enough justification to reduce a star but I think it is. Although I think it should have been included, I definitely recommend this at it provides much needed grip for this camera without adding bulk. The price could have been better but I have seen other more fancy and custom options for twice as much.

Why Sony doesn't include a grip is beyond me but for a reasonable price, this grip makes the slippery RX100 V a lot easier to handle. Good design, easy to fit and great value.

I recently purchased the Sony AGR2 Attachment Grip for my Sony camera, and it has significantly improved my shooting experience. The grip is comfortable and adds a lot of stability, especially during handheld shots or longer shooting sessions. The build quality is solid, and the grip feels secure and ergonomic in hand, allowing for better control and reducing hand fatigue. It’s also lightweight, so it doesn’t add unnecessary bulk to my camera setup. Attaching the grip to my camera was quick and easy, and it fits perfectly, providing a snug fit that doesn’t interfere with any of the camera’s functions. I noticed a big difference in my ability to hold the camera steady, especially when shooting in low light or with longer lenses. Overall, the Sony AGR2 Attachment Grip is a simple but highly effective accessory that I’d recommend to any Sony camera user looking for better handling and comfort. Pros: Comfortable and ergonomic design Easy to attach and secure Improves stability and control Lightweight and doesn’t add bulk Cons: None so far

This simple accessory is a must for the Sony mini cameras. The camera has a slippery finish and this little rubber like pad provides positive grip and also a little bump to better hold the camera. It really should be factory installed for such an expensive camera. Shipping is fast and being made by Sony, the fit is perfect.

As others have written, I really think this should have been included with the camera. (But I do understand that some people setup the RX100 with a vlog bracket that may include a handgrip.) And it's a tad expensive for what it is. Beyond those complaints, it's perfect! The tactile grip of the rubber is excellent, the fit on the camera is perfect, and the attachment tape is very secure. And it certainly adds a major improvement to being able to hold the camera securely. Can you remove it if you want to? Yes. My first RX100M7 had some electronic defects and had to be exchanged for a new one after a couple weeks of use. I was able to gently-but-firmly pull off the AGR2 from the first camera and apply it to the new one. Before actually removing it, I was thinking I was going to need to replace the tape before putting grip on the new camera. (I've got appropriate tape for that, so no prob.) But I was pleasantly surprised to find that the original tape worked just fine on the new camera. The tape did leave a tiny bit of residue in a few spots on the defective camera, but they cleaned up pretty easily. It might have been a more difficult process if AGR2 had been in place for, say, a year. But for this situation, it was pretty simple.

Perfect for for the RX100 mark 4. Easy to attach with a very strong adhesive. Perfect grip for the camera.

J’ai un modèle plus ancien (boîtier identique). Cet accessoire est nécessaire pour offrir une prise en main confortable. C’est cher pour un bout de caoutchouc mais l’adhésif est de qualité heureusement !

Works great for my m6! Easy to put on and appears to sit securely. Highly recommend for a much better grip!

The perfect, must-have grip for this camera. Forget the others with cages and wooden/plastic handles etc (which I returned). This grip should be included with every RX100 as standard. It feels so much better in the hand than other options. Excellent!

Veel betere grip met de originele greep van Sony.
