BM Premium Battery Grip Kit for Canon EOS R5 R6 - Extended Shooting

In this review the BM Premium Battery Grip Kit is presented for photographers who need longer run time and improved handling with Canon EOS R5, EOS R5C, EOS R6 and EOS R6 II bodies. The bottom line: it is a straightforward replacement for the BG-R10 that doubles shooting time when used with two LP-E6NH batteries and adds a comfortable vertical grip, making it valuable for event, outdoor, and portrait shooters who want extended battery life and more stable handling without changing lenses or camera bodies.

Key Features

• Camera compatibility: Works with Canon EOS R5, EOS R5C, EOS R6 and EOS R6 II so buyers can use an extra power source across multiple camera models.
• Extended battery life: Holds one or two LP-E6NH batteries to effectively double shooting time when both cells are installed, useful for long shoots and events.
• Vertical shooting controls: Includes a quick control and main dial plus additional buttons for easy switching to portrait orientation without losing access to core controls.
• Improved handling: The vertical multifunction grip is designed to be comfortable to hold and to suppress hand shake for steadier handheld shots.
• Tripod mounting: A standard 1/4 screw hole and positioning hole at the bottom let you mount the grip securely to a tripod or head for video and stable setups.

Who It's For

The BM Premium grip is aimed at photographers who already own a compatible Canon mirrorless body and need longer runtime for weddings, outdoor sessions, or long video takes without swapping batteries frequently. It also suits portrait shooters who regularly use vertical orientation and want full control access when rotating the camera.

It is less appropriate for users who only shoot short sessions, those who prefer original manufacturer batteries and accessories for warranty reasons, or photographers who need integrated features unique to an OEM battery grip. Buyers should check compatibility carefully before purchase.

Pros & Cons

Pros

• Double battery capacity when using two LP-E6NH cells, extending shooting time significantly for long jobs.
• Ergonomic vertical grip with dedicated controls makes portrait shooting faster and more comfortable.
• Solid mounting options with a 1/4 screw and locating hole add stability for video or tripod work.
• Good value for money compared with brand-name grips for users focused on function over branding.

Cons

• Functionality feedback is mixed from customers, so performance may vary between units or camera bodies.
• Not an OEM part, so users expecting manufacturer support or identical fit may be disappointed.

Our Verdict
