Vello BG-C19 Overview

The BG-C19 Battery Grip from Vello is designed for use with the Canon EOS R mirrorless camera. It accepts two Canon LP-E6NH and LP-E6N rechargeable batteries (not included) to effectively double the camera's battery life and shooting time. The BG-C19 is equipped with an alternate shutter release, multifunction button, and main and quick-control dials, as well as AF start, AE/AF lock, and AF point/magnify buttons; making the battery grip ideal for camera operation in portrait orientation. A convenient lock switch disables the controls to prevent accidentally triggering or changing settings.

The BG-C19 incorporates a USB-C charging port to allow recharging the batteries with the supplied USB-C power supply, without the need to remove them from the grip. Charge indicator LEDs show individual battery status at a glance.

The integrated PC sync port allows connection to external lighting without the need for a wireless setup, providing a strobe lighting compatibility option not native to the camera. Note: This synch port does not provide high-voltage sync protection, and is not recommended for flash units that require more than 6V.

Vello BG-C19 Reviews

Been relying on Vello grips for quite a while

By Mike
Rated 5 out of 5

The Vello BG-C19 grip does a great job at a reasonable price. I'm not a pro (any longer) so I have no need for the (possibly) greater durability of an EOS brand battery grip and my experience with Vello of the past 18+ years has proven them to be reliable, perfectly fitting and just as feature rich as the name brand. I especially like the facility to recharge two batteries while they are in the grip.

Not a single issue

I have used this grip every day since purchasing it in January. I use it for weddings, portraits, and sporting events. I do have to remove at least once a day to balance my camera on a gimbal, so if I were to have connection issues I would have noticed by now. I also use the LPE6NH batteries. I don't know if that makes a difference but I do notice at the end of the day I have a bit more battery than when I used the E6N. Overall been a great product. Haven't tried the sync port either. I do know if it broke today, I would buy another immediately.

What's the difference between this one and Canon BG-R10 Battery Grip?
Asked by: Siang
The main difference is the BG-R10 is a bit longer than the BG-C19. Otherwise, the latter has similar functionality at a much lower price point.

You could use LP-E6 batteries in the Vello BG-C19 Battery Grip for Canon EOS R Mirrorless Camera, but even with two batteries it will not run the EOS camera for a long time. Also the In-Grip Battery Charging via USB-C Port feature will not work.

At this time, Vello has not produced a battery grip for the EOS R6. In the event that they do, we would definitely make an announcement via the B&H E-Mail Newsletter.
