Battery Grip Replacement for BG-E14 - Vertical Grip for Canon

In this review the Neewer Battery Grip (replacement for BG-E14) is evaluated as a budget-friendly vertical grip for Canon EOS 70D, 80D and 90D users who need longer run time and reliable vertical controls. The bottom line: this grip delivers the practical features most photographers want - comfortable ergonomics, genuine shutter and control duplicates, and flexible power options - making it a sensible choice for hobbyists and pros on a budget who shoot extended sessions or lots of vertical frames.

Key Features

• Camera compatibility: Works with Canon EOS 70D, 80D and 90D so the grip mounts and aligns with these bodies for full vertical operation.
• Dual power options: Accepts up to two LP-E6 battery packs or six AA/LR6 batteries, offering extended shooting time and a convenient backup when custom batteries are unavailable.
• Full vertical controls: Includes a shutter button, main dial, multi-controller and AF point selection so vertical shooting retains the same control layout as horizontal shooting.
• Ergonomic design: The improved grip shape provides more comfortable holding for long sessions and better balance when using larger lenses.
• Extra function buttons: AE/FE lock, AF start and multi-function buttons allow familiar exposure and focus operations while shooting vertically.

Who It's For

The grip is aimed at photographers who shoot long events, weddings, sports or wildlife and need extended battery life and the convenience of vertical controls; it also fits well for content creators who switch quickly between portrait and landscape orientations. Enthusiasts and semi-pros who want functionality close to OEM grips but at lower cost will find the features useful.

Those who should look elsewhere include users who require official brand warranty coverage or extremely compact travel rigs where added bulk is unacceptable. If you must have manufacturer service or identical materials to the camera maker, consider original branded options.
