  Canon BG-R20 Battery Grip – Maximum control and endurance for the EOS R5 Mark II
 
 

  The Canon BG-R20 Battery Grip is an essential accessory for the Canon EOS R5 Mark II, EOS R5, EOS R6, and EOS R6 Mark II, offering professional ergonomics, longer battery life, and optimized operation for demanding shoots. It holds up to two LP-E6P, LP-E6NH, or LP-E6N batteries, effectively doubling battery life—ideal for extended photo and video projects such as sports photography, wildlife, or weddings. Weighing approximately 348 g and measuring 8.1 x 14.2 x 10.9 cm, it fits seamlessly onto the camera and, thanks to its dust- and splash-proof construction, is as robust as the camera itself.
 
 

  Ergonomics and Operation: The grip improves handling, especially when shooting vertically or with heavy lenses. It features an additional shutter release button, multi-controller, AF start, AE lock, and AF point selection buttons, as well as a main dial, all of which are just as intuitive to use in portrait as in landscape mode. The multi-controller is positioned higher compared to its predecessor, the BG-R10, making it more comfortable to use with your thumb, especially when shooting continuously at high speed.
 
 

  Frame rate and performance with the EOS R5 Mark II: For the EOS R5 Mark II, the BG-R20 is crucial for exploiting the full performance in H+ mode (High-Speed ​​Continuous Shooting Plus). With two LP-E6P batteries, the grip supports a maximum burst speed of up to 30 fps (electronic shutter, 45 megapixel RAW or JPEG) and 12 fps (mechanical shutter). Without the grip or with older batteries (LP-E6NH/LP-E6N), the burst speed may be limited, especially when the battery level is low, as the camera requires high power in H+ mode. The BG-R20 provides a constant power supply to avoid interruptions during fast-action scenes and also supports advanced features such as pre-continuous shooting and high frame rate video (e.g., 4K 120p or 8K 60p), which are not available with older grips such as the BG-R10.
 
 

  Other advantages
  : The grip features a 1/4" tripod thread for flexible mounting and a compartment for safely storing the camera's battery door. Batteries are changed via a side-mounted battery holder, with spring-loaded levers making replacement quick and easy. Power is supplied directly via electrical contacts, ensuring reliable power transfer. An on/off switch prevents accidental Changes.
 
 

  Compatibility: Canon EOS R5 Mark II, EOS R5, EOS R6 Mark II, EOS R6. For full functionality of the R5 Mark II (e.g., 8K video, H+ mode), LP-E6P batteries are recommended, as older batteries may have limitations.
 
 

  The Canon BG-R20 is a must-have for professionals who use the EOS R5 Mark II for fast burst shooting, long exposures, or vertical shooting without compromising on speed or convenience.
