Canon Battery Grip BG-R10

The Canon Battery Grip BG-R10 extends shooting time and improves handling with compatible EOS R-series cameras. It accommodates two LP-E6-series batteries and provides dedicated controls for comfortable vertical shooting—making it especially useful for weddings, portraits, sports, wildlife, events, and long video sessions.

⭐ Key Benefits

• Holds one or two compatible LP-E6-series batteries

• Approximately doubles shooting endurance when using two matching batteries

• Dedicated controls for natural vertical-orientation shooting

• Larger gripping surface improves comfort and stability

• Helps balance heavier RF lenses

• Dust- and moisture-resistant construction

• Retains a standard tripod mounting socket

• Compatible in-camera charging with supported batteries and USB power accessories

• Batteries are replaceable without removing the grip from the camera

🔋 Extended Shooting Time

The BG-R10’s removable battery magazine accommodates up to two compatible batteries, including the LP-E6NH, LP-E6N, and LP-E6.

The camera can operate with either one or two installed batteries, allowing photographers to start with a single battery and add a second when longer operating time is needed. Two matching batteries provide the most predictable performance and charging behavior.

This additional endurance is particularly valuable for:

• Full-day weddings and events

• Extended sports and wildlife sessions

• Long-form video recording

• Time-lapse photography

• Studio and tethered shooting

• Travel days with limited charging access

Batteries are sold separately.

📸 Comfortable Vertical Shooting

A complete set of conveniently positioned controls makes the camera feel natural when held vertically. These include a vertical shutter-release button and key exposure and autofocus controls.

The familiar control placement allows photographers to maintain a stable grip without repeatedly reaching across the camera body—especially helpful when photographing portraits, athletes, fashion, or events.

A dedicated grip control switch can disable the vertical controls when they are not required, helping prevent accidental input.

🤲 Improved Handling and Balance

In addition to carrying a second battery, the BG-R10 increases the camera’s gripping surface. This can provide a more secure and comfortable hold for photographers with larger hands or anyone working through long assignments.

The added height and weight can also improve balance when using larger lenses such as:

• RF 24-70mm F2.8 L IS USM

• RF 28-70mm F2 L USM

• RF 70-200mm L-series lenses

• RF 100-500mm F4.5-7.1 L IS USM

• Super-telephoto RF lenses

Photographers who prioritize the smallest possible travel setup may prefer using the camera without the grip.

🌦️ Built for Professional Assignments

The BG-R10 features durable construction with dust- and moisture-resistant sealing designed to complement compatible EOS R-series camera bodies.

This provides added confidence during demanding outdoor assignments, although the grip and camera are not waterproof and should still be protected from heavy rain, immersion, sand, and saltwater exposure.

🔌 Convenient USB Charging

When mounted on a supported camera, compatible batteries inside the grip can be charged through the camera’s USB power connection using an appropriate Canon USB power adapter.

Charging availability depends on the camera model, battery type, power source, and camera operating state. For the best performance, use matching genuine Canon batteries recommended for your camera.

🔧 Installation and Tripod Use

The BG-R10 attaches through the camera’s battery compartment. The camera’s removable battery door can be stored safely in the grip’s dedicated holder while the accessory is installed.

A standard tripod socket on the bottom of the grip allows continued use with tripod plates, monopods, straps, and other mounting accessories.

⚖️ BG-R10 vs. Shooting Without a Grip

🔄 BG-R10 vs. BG-R20

The BG-R10 is an excellent match for cameras such as the EOS R5, R5 C, R6, and R6 Mark II. The newer BG-R20 is the appropriate choice for the EOS R5 Mark II and its higher-power battery system.
