I've tried the Mei ke one, which operated fine for me. The only dumb thing about the Mei ke is how the toggle switch acts as a power button, not a simple "Lock" like any other grip I've seen.

I got the Sony for my A1 only because I want to avoid any potential warranty issue if problems arise (it has 3 recurring problems lol)

For fellow A1 users: a battery grip is great for 8K video recording because not only does it double the battery capacity, but it also moves the heat-generating batteries out of the main body and further from the other components. This helps with overheating.

I have owned the urlhasbeenblocked grip for my older Sony a7, and it suffered the same problem that Jimmyqballs pointed out. For my A1, I went with the Vello model and that one's lock switch works properly.

I use my grip pretty rarely (only when I know I'm going to be recording video for a long time) which is why I went 3rd party, but if a vertical grip is part of your main workflow than this first party one is likely worth it.
