Vello BG-C16 Overview

The Battery Grip for Canon EOS 6D Mark II from Vello is a dedicated power supply that can hold up to two LP-E6 or LP-E6N Li-ion batteries, which doubles the camera's shooting time. Before attaching the rubber non-slip grip, the battery chamber cover of the camera can be safely stored away within the battery grip. Allowing easy access to the vertical shutter release, AF area, AF point selector, AF start, AE lock, and main dial, the grip allows you to control the camera when you're shooting vertically.

The on/off switch prevents accidental firing of the camera or any other changes that can occur when the vertical controls are not in use. When the grip is in the off position, it deactivates all the controls, but the batteries still supply power to the camera, and a hand strap mount is located on the bottom and compatible with the HGS-2 and HGS-3 Hand Grip Straps. The 1/4"-20 threaded mounting socket makes it possible to attach the camera to a tripod.

Great Buy If You Don't Mind A Little (Sooo Little) Rattling

OK, so this is a great option if you hate twisting your arm into an awkward position to do vertical framing. I can't say anything wrong about the device, but I will point out two inconveniences. One minor, another may possibly be major depending on your shooting habits. Little things first: there is a slight rattle that you can hear when walking around in the woods. If you have a quiet day you might catch the rattle that is issuing from the tightening dial. A simple solution is to wedge something soft in the gap just to secure it.... or just get use to the noise like I did. Possible major thing: it's not weather sealed. Make sure to use a rain hood because, while your lens and body may be sealed well enough for a steady rain, this accessory will likely get water inside.

Do you have to use the same capacity/brand of batteries when using this device? For instance, I have both LP-e6 and Lp-e6n batteries, I have some Canon brand batteries and some third-party batteries. Will mixing the different kinds of batteries give me trouble?
Asked by: Coleman
When using the Canon BG-E20 Battery Grip for EOS 5D Mark IV, one should either use 2 original Canon LP-E6(N) batteries or 2 LP-E6 third party batteries together. When one mixes the original Canon batteries with third party ones, the grip will not function properly.
