BG-E6 Battery Grip for the EOS 5D Mark II Digital SLR Camera image
 
(based on 4 ratings)
Brand: Canon
Located in: Digital, AC Adapters/Chargers
The BP-E6 is dedicated strictly to the new EOS 5D Mark II, and permits one (or two) LP-E6 battery packs to be installed. With two packs, the already-impressive battery life is doubled, compared to using a single LP-E6 pack in-camera. Especially for extended use of the EOS 5D Mark II?s movie mode or Live View, the BG-E6 is an outstanding accessory. Like previous Canon battery grips, the BG-E6 provides full vertical shooting controls, which can be independently turned on or off as the photographer desires. Many users find the battery grip can enhance camera handling, especially for shooting vertical pictures.

Comments about Canon BG-E6 Battery Grip for the EOS 5D Mark II Digital SLR Camera:

In my opinion all canon DSLRs should have a battery grip on them. It balances out the body when using with L lenses. Plus having two batteries means no swapping during your shoots.

Comments about Canon BG-E6 Battery Grip for the EOS 5D Mark II Digital SLR Camera:

The Canon BG-E6 battery grip for the Canon 5D Mark II is a solid grip for hand-held portrait photography. Another added bonus is having two batteries that enable twice as much shooting time in still photography and videography. The added camera controls are a very useful feature enabling idea ergonomics for the vertical format.

Comments about Canon BG-E6 Battery Grip for the EOS 5D Mark II Digital SLR Camera:

Like other Canon battery grips, easy to install. Works well. Nice that it works with just 1 battery. It will be terrific when I can finally find a second battery! Makes vertical use of the camera easy.
