Canon 2130C001 BG-E21 Battery Grip camera accessory

Extended shooting for EOS 6D Mark II

The Canon BG-E21 battery grip attaches to the EOS 6D Mark II body and accepts two LP-E6N or LP-E6 packs, or an optional DR-E6 coupler with AC-E6N adapter, doubling the available power for long sessions. It adds a vertical shutter release, main dial and multi-controller so settings can be changed without repositioning the hands. The grip is finished in black and matches the camera's weather-resistant construction.

Upgrade from single-battery operation

Photographers who currently rely on one in-camera battery gain a second slot and a dedicated vertical control set, making the jump worthwhile for event, wedding or wildlife work where the camera is held upright for extended periods. The accessory does not add a second card slot, a faster processor or any wireless function, so buyers who need those features must look elsewhere.

Sustained handling and power delivery

With two batteries seated the grip balances the weight of the EF 24-105mm f/3.5-5.6 IS STM or f/4L IS II USM lenses, reducing fatigue during continuous vertical shooting. The auxiliary controls are wired directly to the camera body, so response remains consistent whether the shutter is fired from the horizontal or vertical position, and the optional AC adapter allows uninterrupted studio or time-lapse capture without battery swaps.
