📷 Canon 3086C002 BG-E22 Battery Grip - Black, Full-Size: A Powerful Accessory for Enhanced Camera Performance Review

Finally! I'm the kind of person who needs a grip just because it feels anchored in my hand. All my DSLRs have grips and this makes them feel more familiar and solid in my hand.

So yes, doubling the battery life is good, but is it worth more than $250 just because you don't change the battery? I bought it thinking it was worth it, but now that I've received it I could return it. The ONLY thing this is useful for is that you can put 2 batteries in instead of 1. I think this is probably the most expensive thing Canon sells.

I bought this battery grip for my EOS R and to my surprise the battery grip came with a socket to plug in the batteries with a USB-C connection. I never have to take the batteries out of the charging handle, which is a great feature, not to mention it helps extend battery life. With this device, the EOS R is just the right size, not too big and not too small.

I have been a professional fashion photographer for almost 40 years. I was a bit reluctant to accept a mirrorless camera as part of my kit. (One reason is Canon's new standout lenses and the fast autofocus on ALL lenses.) The EOS R is fortunately slightly larger than its competitors. The battery grip, while adding some weight, gives my hand a secure grip on the camera and also adds an almost essential vertical shutter release. The grip comes with its own charger (USB-C) which, while I don't…

Has a charger that you just have to plug in. Very practical, charges both batteries at the same time. I have big hands and this allows my pinky to hold them. I'm not very good at vertical photography. But when I do it, this grip is much more stable. I wasn't too enthusiastic about it at first, maybe the buyers repented. The second time I put it back it wouldn't turn off. Most of the reviews on the forums agree. First mixed, then I didn't shoot without it. It also saves you the hassle of…

I always buy a battery grip for my SLR cameras and the R is no exception. The price has come down significantly since it was originally around $450, which is crazy, even with a USB-C charger. Anyway, the price is right now and the grip is *a bit* large, but I'm fine with that. Everything is very solid. They have improved the way it attaches to the camera compared to the 6D grip I used, but no longer include (or however offer) an AA battery compartment. Either way, if you're not comfortable…

I always buy a battery pack for my SLR cameras and the R is no exception. The price has come down significantly since it was originally around $450, which is crazy, even with a USB-C charger. Anyway, the price is right now and the grip is *a bit* big, but that suits me. Everything is very solid. They've improved the way it attaches to the camera compared to the 6D grip I used, but no longer include (or offer) an AA battery compartment. Either way, if you're not comfortable without a handle…

I've been a semi-professional photographer for many years and my cameras have always had battery grips or motorized winders. I appreciate the increased usability and functionality of these devices. I have big hands and have never liked a smaller camera. I like the heavier weight and the extra stability. I also like the ability to shoot vertically and keep a good grip, and all the controls are in the same familiar places. The camera actually "feels" professional, adding to the ease of use of the

This is my second SLR battery grip. The previous one was made by a third party for the T4i. When I bought this grip there were no 3rd party options for the EOS-R. I have to say that in the years I have used a third party grip on my T4i I have never had an issue that would have made me buy a Canon. That being said, I wasn't particularly upset at having to pay a much higher price for a Canon-branded grip. However, what really annoyed me was that I lost a HUGE feature with this crank that I had on
