Offering a more comfortable grip along with extended battery life, the HLD-9 Power Battery Grip is dedicated to the Olympus OM-D E-M1 Mark II mirrorless camera. Featuring a well-matched physical design, this battery grip duplicates the control set of the camera body for more intuitive settings adjustment when shooting in the vertical orientation, and includes a secondary front dial, shutter button, rear dial, two function buttons, a vertical shooting lock, an OK button, and an arrow pad. The grip also matches the durable construction of the camera body, and is dust, splash, and freezeproof to support shooting in trying environmental conditions. Beyond a more ergonomic and intuitive means for handling the camera, this grip also supports the use of an additional BLH-1 lithium-ion battery to effectively double the battery life while shooting. Alternatively, an AC-5 AC Adapter can also be paired with the battery grip for virtually indefinite power via 100-240 VAC.

Nice Battery Grip

It fits the camera body and my palm perfectly, very useful when shooting vertically.

This does enlarge the camera, but the grip from the add-on is absolutely superb. This makes the camera supremely ergonomic and well balanced.

Will the HLD-9 work with the new OM1 Camera?
No. There is a new battery grip for the OM-1, which is the HLD-10 (list $349). It doesn't seem to be shipping yet. The two grips are very different.

No, when using a battery in the Olympus HLD-9 Power Battery Grip and in the camera, the camera will only show the battery level for the one it is currently drawing power from. It will not show battery level for both batteries simultaneously.

Does anyone know how the size of this on EM1 compares to X1 ? in the hand.
I believe slightly smaller having owned both cameras. Both very comfortable in hand, but the EM1 Mk II is slightly smaller overall with grip attached.

will it work with the E-M10 Mark ii
Hello, the HLD-9 battery holder/grip will only work with the EM1 ii. Each of the EM series cameras has its own unique shape and set of dimensions and things like grips and batteries aren't interchangeable among them.
