The Canon BG-E6 is a totally new optional battery grip specifically dedicated to the EOS 5D Mark II.
The BGE6 can be operated with one or two LP-E6 battery packs installed. With two packs,
the already-
impressive battery life is doubled, compared to using a single LP-E6 pack in-camera.
Alternatively, the
grip and camera can be powered using six AA batteries via the supplied holder.
For extended use of the
EOS 5D Mk 2’s movie mode or Live View, the BG-E6 is an outstanding
accessory.
The BG-E6 also
provides
full vertical shooting controls, which can be independently
turned on or off
as the photographer desires.
Many users find the battery grip can enhance
camera handling,
especially when shooting vertical pictures.
