By curiosity, if a camera's body is just too impractical for a specific use, would it work with a body extension ? I was thinking for instance about the extra grip that can be added on Canon/Nikon's middle range models that make them easier to manipulate for vertical shoots. While the top of the line comes built with grips in both directions, options exist for the smaller bodies. We already have flash brackets, cinematographic rigs etc., would it be realistic to have an outer frame for your a6400 when it's equipped with your 100-400 telephoto ?

I do have an L-bracket with a built-in grip[0] that I can use with the a6400. It does make the grip itself more comfortable, but the added volume then moves the shutter release too far back relative to the grip, which brings us back to an uncomfortable shooting experience. I don't think fixing ergonomics after the fact works. 0. https://www.amazon.co.uk/SMALLRIG-Bracket-Sony-A6400-A6300/dp/B07V6GFBWH https://www.amazon.co.uk/SMALLRIG-Bracket-Sony-A6400-A6300/d...

> would it work with a body extension ? Yes for extra batteries and perhaps vertical shutter release (as per my D850's body extension) but a larger body can have more controls and displays that can't be easily extended. The larger size allows for much more than just a more easily grippable physical object.
