Hersmay BG-R10 Vertical Battery Grip for Canon EOS R5 R6 - Extended

In this review of the Hersmay BG-R10 vertical battery grip the bottom line is simple: photographers who want longer run times and improved handling for portrait shooting will appreciate this inexpensive replacement grip for Canon EOS R5, R5C and R6 bodies. The reviewer found it genuinely useful as a dual LP-E6 series battery holder that effectively doubles recording capacity and lets the camera run longer without swapping batteries. It is a practical accessory for studio portrait sessions and extended field shoots where extra power and a vertical shutter control matter.

Key Features

• Dual battery capacity: Holds one or two LP-E6, LP-E6NH or LP-E6N batteries to extend recording time and reduce mid-shoot battery swaps.
• Vertical controls: Includes a shutter button, AF-ON and multi-function button plus a main dial so vertical shooting is as convenient as horizontal.
• Lightweight construction: Made of ABS and rubber and weighing about 278g / 9.8oz, it adds power without making the camera unduly heavy.
• Secure connection: Attaches via a 1/4'-20 screw and also provides a 1/4'-20 hole at the base for tripod ball head mounting for flexible setup.
• On/off switch: Built-in power switch lets the grip act as an additional power source or backup without altering camera settings.

Who It's For

This battery grip is best for EOS R5, R5C and R6 users who shoot long video takes or extended photo sessions and need the convenience of swapping batteries less often. Portrait and event photographers who frequently work in vertical orientation will benefit from the dedicated vertical shutter and control layout.

It is less useful for casual photographers who rarely exceed a single battery's runtime or for users expecting weather sealing and OEM warranty coverage from the camera maker; those users should consider official-brand grips or keep a supply of spares instead.

Pros & Cons

Pros

• Extends runtime by accepting two LP-E6 series batteries so recording sessions last much longer.
• Provides professional-style vertical controls including shutter, AF-ON and main dial for comfortable portrait shooting.
• Lightweight ABS and rubber construction keeps added weight modest while improving grip and handling.
• Tripod-compatible 1/4'-20 attachment points make mounting or securing the camera straightforward.

Cons

• Does not include batteries, so additional LP-E6 series cells must be purchased separately.
• As a third-party replacement, it may not match OEM weather sealing or official support expectations.
