BM Premium Battery Grip Kit for Canon EOS R5 R6 R6 II R5C - Extended

In this review the BM Premium Battery Grip Kit is assessed as a practical power and handling upgrade for Canon EOS R5, EOS R6, EOS R6 II and EOS R5C owners who shoot long events or portrait sessions. The single biggest reason to consider this kit is extended runtime: the grip accepts two LP-E6NH batteries and the bundled set adds four of those batteries plus a charger, effectively doubling or more the time between battery swaps. The reviewer found the grip also improves vertical handling and adds useful controls for portrait shooting.

Key Features

• Camera compatibility: Works with Canon EOS R5, EOS R6, EOS R6 II and EOS R5C so it fits a range of full-frame mirrorless bodies for consistent handling across bodies.
• Extended runtime: Accepts two LP-E6NH batteries to significantly increase shooting duration for events, travel, or long outdoor sessions.
• Vertical shooting controls: Includes a quick control and main dial plus dedicated buttons that make portrait-oriented framing and operation straightforward without awkward hand positions.
• Enhanced stability: Rubber-coated shell and added weight improve balance when using telephoto lenses and help suppress hand shake for steadier shots.
• Tripod-friendly design: A standard 1/4 screw hole and positioning hole at the bottom allow secure mounting on a tripod when shooting video or doing longer exposures.
• Complete kit: The package includes the BG-R10 replacement grip, four LP-E6NH batteries and a charger so users can shoot longer right away without buying extras.

Who It's For

The kit is best for professional or enthusiast photographers who already own a Canon EOS R5, R6, R6 II or R5C and need more on-camera power for weddings, sports, wildlife or extended location shoots. The added controls and improved grip make it attractive for portrait and event shooters who switch frequently between landscape and portrait orientation.

It is less suited to users who rarely shoot for long stretches, those who prefer off-camera battery solutions, or owners of Canon bodies outside the listed compatibility, who should look for a grip made specifically for their model.
