Vello BG-C9 Battery Grip for Canon 5D Mark III

The Vello BG-C9-2 Battery Grip, available at Lightbulb Rentals, is specifically designed for use with Canon EOS 5D Mark III, 5DS, and 5DS R digital SLR cameras. It accommodates one or two Canon LP-E6 type batteries, effectively doubling the camera's shooting time with two batteries installed. Alternatively, the grip can be used with a single battery while the second battery charges, ensuring continuous shooting capability.

The battery tray of the BG-C9-2 is compatible with the Canon AC Adapter Kit ACK-E6, allowing for uninterrupted power supply directly from an AC outlet. Additionally, the grip includes a secondary tray designed for six AA batteries, offering a short-term power option when LP-E6 batteries are depleted.

For enhanced usability in vertical shooting orientations, the BG-C9-2 features an array of controls including an alternate shutter release button, an AF-ON button, AF point selection, AE lock/FE lock button, multi-controller, multi-function button, and a main dial. A Control Lock switch prevents accidental changes to settings or unintended shutter release.

Designed with anti-slip rubber material, the grip provides a secure and comfortable hold, while a tripod socket on the base enables easy attachment to tripods or other camera supports. Additionally, a storage compartment is provided to safely store the camera's battery door when the grip is in use, preventing loss.

Overall, the Vello BG-C9-2 Battery Grip enhances the functionality and handling of Canon DSLR cameras, making it ideal for extended shooting sessions and providing versatile power options in various shooting conditions.
