Created for power users who are looking for excellent quality in a compact form, Olympus has put together the PRO Kit, centered around the black OM-D E-M5 Mark II Mirrorless Micro Four Thirds Digital Camera. Alongside the camera, users will find a trio of constant f/2.8 zoom lenses: the M.Zuiko 7-14mm, M.Zuiko 12-40mm, and M.Zuiko 40-150mm PRO lenses. This set provides coverage for almost any shooting situation with a combined equivalent focal range of 14-300mm. Also, this kit includes the HLD-8 Battery Grip and Holder as well as a spare BLN-1 Rechargeable Li-Ion Battery Pack. And, to top it all off, the CGB-10 Premium Camera System Bag will store all of this gear for protection during storage and travel.
At the core of the kit is the OM-D E-M5 Mark II which combines a 16MP Live MOS sensor with a TruePic VII Image Processor for increased performance speed and reduced noise throughout the ISO range as compared to TruePic VI. The Mark II also improves upon its predecessor by utilizing a 5-axis VCM Image Stabilization that provides up to 5 stops of compensation. Full HD 1080p video recording is now available on the Mark II with a higher bitrate of up to 77 Mb/s and various codecs. Built into the E-M5 Mark II is a unique feature that utilizes sensor shift to produce a 40MP image by combining 8 images in-camera. The camera's fully articulated 3" touchscreen LCD monitor makes taking self portraits easy, and the built-in Wi-Fi lets you quickly share your images. When not using the LDC monitor for live view, the 2,360k-dot EVF provides a virtually lag-free view with a 1.48x magnification.
At the center of the lens trio is the standard M.Zuiko 12-40mm f/2.8 PRO Lens which covers an equivalent focal length of 24-80mm. This versatile lens offers a manual focus clutch and the Movie-Still Compatible (MSC) focusing mechanism for fast, silent AF. This zoom pairs perfectly with the M.Zuiko 40-150mm f/2.8 PRO Lens for capturing telephoto perspectives. This relatively compact zoom features a far reaching 80-300mm equivalent range and weighs less than 2 lb while featuring internal focusing and Dual VCM AF motors for speedy focusing. Complementing the earlier two lenses by getting ultra wide, the M.Zuiko 7-14mm f/2.8 PRO Lens completes the triumvirate with a 14-28mm equivalence. It also focuses to just under 3" for macro shooting and like the other PRO lenses is completely weatherproof and the Z.E.R.O coating to eliminate ghosting and flaring.
Furthering the camera's capabilities and comfort, the HLD-8 Battery Grip and Holder is bundled here, along with a spare Li-ion battery pack, to provide a more substantial grip as well as longer battery life while out shooting. Additionally, the CBG-10 Premium Camera System Bag will hold everything and can be organized to each user's liking with removable padded dividers and an assortment of pockets. The bag also has space for a tablet and features an integrated rain cover in the back pocket for keeping your gear protected in inclement weather conditions.

Benefit from a better hold and increased shooting time with your OM-D E-M5 Mark II Camera, thanks to this HLD-8 Power Battery Holder from Olympus. This kit provides you with the HLD-8G L-shaped, ergonomic, external hand grip and the HLD-6P battery grip.
The HLD-8G features an alternate shutter release button and a headphone jack for audio playback, as well as contacts and a locking dial for secure connection to the camera. The HLD-6P accepts an extra BLN-1 battery. You can choose which battery to use first and the camera will start using the second one automatically once the first is drained. The HLD-6P also offers a vertical-shooting shutter release and a control dial, along with a function lever and two function buttons. These buttons can be programmed independently of those on the E-M5 Mk II. Additionally, a DC-IN jack on the HLD-6P accepts the AC-3 AC adapter to power the camera continuously for long-term use.
Both units are molded for a comfortable hold. These two grips can be used together with or without the optional GS-5 Grip Strap, and the HLD-6P can also be detached to allow you to use the hand grip alone. The two grips together and the HLD-8G alone are dust and splashproof to protect against the elements.
