Every photographer knows that sinking feeling when your camera battery dies during a crucial moment. Whether you're capturing a wedding, shooting a portrait session, or documenting an event, running out of power can mean missed opportunities and lost shots. That's where the Canon Battery Grip BG-R20 comes in—a practical solution designed to keep you shooting longer and more comfortably.
The BG-R20 grip accepts two LP-E6 batteries, effectively doubling your camera's runtime. This means you can shoot all day without worrying about constantly swapping batteries or carrying spares. For wedding photographers covering 8-hour events, for studio sessions where you need to stay in the moment, or for travel photographers exploring remote locations without easy access to power outlets, this dual-battery system provides the peace of mind that comes with knowing you have plenty of juice left.
When shooting in portrait orientation, having your camera controls exactly where your fingers naturally rest makes a huge difference. The BG-R20 features an improved multi-controller position compared to its predecessor, the BG-R10. This thoughtful design means your thumb falls naturally into place when gripping vertically, eliminating awkward stretching or repositioning. The vertical shutter button, main dial, and sub-dial are all perfectly positioned, making portrait shooting feel as intuitive and comfortable as horizontal shooting.
Built to match the durability of Canon's professional cameras, this grip features a solid construction that can handle the rigors of daily use. The rubberized grip provides secure handling even in humid or sweaty conditions, and the weather-sealed design helps protect against dust and moisture. Whether you're shooting in a studio or out in the field, this grip is designed to keep up with demanding shooting schedules.
Designed specifically for select Canon EOS models, the BG-R20 integrates seamlessly with your camera body, maintaining full functionality while adding valuable features. The grip doesn't just extend battery capacity—it enhances your overall shooting experience by providing a more substantial, comfortable hold that reduces fatigue during long sessions.
If you regularly shoot in portrait orientation or simply want the security of extended battery life, the BG-R20 is a worthwhile addition to your camera setup. It's one of those accessories that once you start using it, you wonder how you ever managed without it.
