Canon BG-E7 Battery Grip

Using the Canon BG-E7 Battery Grip will help the camera become easier to handle for all those with larger hands. In some cases, even individuals with smaller hands may find it helpful whenever controlling the camera, especially in a portrait (horizontal) position.

Product features:

• With two packs, the already-impressive battery life is doubled, in comparison to applying a single LP-E6 pack in-camera.
• Particularly for extended use of movie mode or live view.
• Many users discover the battery grip can improve camera handling, particularly for shooting vertical photographs.
• Its simple ergonomic design makes it comfortable to hold.

This battery grip for the Canon EOS 7D will enable you to employ one or two LP-E6 batteries at the same time. By using two batteries the already extended life of the camera is doubled, which is going to be particularly valuable if employing movie mode. The Canon BG-E7 also provides vertical control just for portraits.

Having a potential for two camera batteries, or one battery as well as the present battery in the camera, a battery grip can successfully double the shooting lifespan so you can carry on with a photo shoot without stopping to charge or change batteries.

Cameras are significantly more comfortable when portrait orientation shooting when using this grip, yet may also make your camera bigger and even more natural to manage for landscape orientation images.

 The Canon BG-E7 Battery Grip features an integrated screw thread in order to easily connect it to a tripod or monopod. Once the grip is connected to the base of the camera it is much larger and heavier, this will mean the camera actually seems more sizeable and this may help to decrease any camera shake.
