Canon - BG-E21 Battery Grip for EOS 6D Mark II - Black

So far this is an outstanding attachment and a must for videographers! I accidentally didn't charge it for a week and a half. I did photoshoots and videos in that week without having to charge the batteries. I don't recommend you do that though especially for a wedding. Over all I am happy with the attachment. It does add a bit of weight to the camera, but it's well worth it. You might have to upgrade your tripod depending on the weight of your camera and how much the tripod can hold. If you try to use this attachment with a C stabilizer it might not fit. Again you need to check the height of the stabilizer as buying this attachment will increase the height of the camera. Also make sure to buy 2 extra batteries just in case. For photographers. This attachment allows you to shoot easily in vertical. It has the back button autofocus and the shutter button. It takes a while to get used to, but I feel it's better for the hand.

I love having battery grips on my my bodies for extra battery life as well as better grip for my hands. Weddings can become a long day, shooting from mid morning to late in the evening.. and the last thing you want to have to mess with is switching batteries. Sure it adds a little more weight to the camera, but it also gives you easier functionality while in portrait view and the camera turned sideways. So if you need more grip or longer battery life, get the canon battery grip and not the cheap off brand kind. You don't want you camera falling to the ground because of poor off brand quality.

I have three of these, initially I did not see the value in this product as it seemed too heavy for me to use I did not like the bulkiness and the heaviness even though it did feel like a nice hand grip but it’s heaviness was just a huge turn off. When I shot a wedding doing videography my husband utilized this handgrip which provided more battery life to the camera while I was photographing I did switch out my battery twice but my husband was not in need of switching his battery at all throughout the night due to the handgrip so I found its usefulness there. In the future I would probably just mounted on a tripod and leave it there while video recording things

As a photographer, we go through hours of shooting and with an extra battery it eliminates the extra stress of running out in the middle of a shoot. Plus this battery grip if great for portraits because it's easier to hold the camera if you want to shoot portrait shots. Best part was I got 25% off by purchasing 3 accessories. Definitely buying in 3s from now on.

High quality built that gives you all day shooting capability, this is a must if you are not near an outlet and don't have time to wait to charge a battery. As a bonus it makes holding the camera more comfortable. Vertical shooting is made easier with shutter release button on the extender.
