Great for the sports or portrait photography
Bought this some time ago but still enjoy using it with my a77ii (I believe it also works with the a99ii). The power level of both batteries in the grip is shown in the viewfinder and LCD monitor. I can do an all day shoot without worrying about running out of power and changing batteries. The grip allows the camera to handle well in portrait orientation as it does normally.

A must have for non interrupted shooting!
I have had vertical grips on my previous DSLRs. This is an absolute must if you just want to be able to get on and take photos. While the new electronic viewfinders are now up there with the best optical viewfinders, they do take a hit on the battery life. This lovely piece of kit will alleviate all those worries. It also replicates a lot of the controls so taking images in portrait orientation is a breeze. To sum up an excellent accessory for your camera.

Adding stability
Having previously purchased a grip for my A700, I was a little disappointed that a significant percentage of my latest acquisition was plastic, unlike my other, which was mostly of metal construction. That said, I am pleased with the functionality of this grip, adding a significant amount of stability, particularly when shooting in portrait format. I like the fact that both batteries are housed in the grip, unlike some models, where the grip has to be removed, in order to change the battery in the camera. All in all, a welcome addition to my kit.

Custom buttons transfer to the grip!
I got the vertical grip two weeks ago for my a99 ii. I like the battery live it gives the camera and uses the same batteries and battery tray on an earlier vertical grip. The only drawback is VG-C77am battery door. The VG-C77am has a locking dial that releases the door when used with a rapid strap because of how it rubs against your cloths. Still love it and happy that they put additional buttons on the grip. The buttons also take on the custom features you program into the body. I was able to change the AEL button to back button auto focus.

Superb
Everything I need from a battery grip. Normally use for overnight time lapse of the stars to extent battery life of the camera.

Really enhances the camera
Adds a new level of comfort to using the a77 especially with larger lenses. Plus that big advantage when using it in portrait.
