Battery Grip Kit for Canon EOS 70D 80D 90D - Extended Shooting Time

In this review the Battery Grip Kit for Canon EOS 70D, 80D and 90D is evaluated for photographers who need extended runtime and improved handling. The kit's most compelling benefit is the effective doubling of shooting time by accepting two LP-E6 or LP-E6N batteries plus an included set of four spare LP-E6 cells and a rapid AC/DC charger, which means less downtime on shoots. For portrait and event shooters who use vertical framing often, the integrated vertical shutter control and beefier grip offer a tangible workflow upgrade.

Key Features

• Extended runtime: The replacement BG-E14 grip holds two LP-E6 or LP-E6N batteries to significantly increase the camera's continuous shooting time.
• Complete kit: The package includes four LP-E6 batteries and a rapid AC/DC charger so users can charge multiple batteries and keep shooting without waiting.
• Vertical shooting support: The grip adds a dedicated vertical shutter release so portrait orientation is more comfortable and stable for long sessions.
• Secure mounting: The grip attaches via the standard tripod mount, ensuring a solid mechanical connection that feels integrated with the camera body.
• AA backup option: The included AA cartridge accepts six AA batteries, providing a convenient fallback power source when needed.
• Durability and warranty: The grip improves handling and comes with a one year limited warranty for added purchase confidence.

Who It's For

The kit is aimed at hobbyists and working photographers using Canon EOS 70D, 80D or 90D bodies who need longer battery life for events, travel or extended shooting sessions and who value the ergonomic benefit of a vertical shutter control. It is also well suited to videographers who want extra power for long takes or continuous recording.

Photographers who rarely shoot vertically or who already carry multiple spare batteries and an external power solution may find this grip less essential. Users of mirrorless or different camera brands should look for a grip designed for their specific model instead.

Pros & Cons

Pros

• Included four LP-E6 batteries and a rapid charger deliver immediate, convenient extended power out of the box.

• Secure tripod-mount attachment and a one year limited warranty give reassurance about build and support.

Cons
