Canon BG-E21 Battery Grip for EOS 6D Mark II

The Canon BG-E21 Battery Grip for EOS 6D Mark II is an optional accessory designed specifically for the Canon EOS 6D Mark II DSLR, providing improved comfort and control for vertical (portrait-orientation) shooting along with substantially extended battery life.

The grip accepts up to two LP-E6 or LP-E6N lithium-ion battery packs simultaneously, effectively doubling the camera’s already strong battery life compared to a single pack installed in-camera, particularly useful when relying on power-hungry modes like movie recording or Live View. An included battery magazine also allows the grip to run the camera off six AA batteries when lithium-ion packs aren’t available, and the grip functions normally even with only a single battery loaded.

Handling centers on a dedicated set of vertical-position controls, including an auxiliary shutter-release button, a Main Dial, a multi-controller, an AF point selection button, an AE lock/FE lock button, an AF start button, and a multi-function button, all of which can be independently enabled or disabled as needed. A camera-alignment pin hole helps ensure secure, precise attachment to the 6D Mark II body.

Build quality matches the 6D Mark II’s own construction standards, with dust- and water-resistant sealing to protect both the grip and its installed batteries in challenging shooting conditions. The grip also accepts an optional DC Coupler DR-E6 and AC Adapter AC-E6N for continuous AC power when desired. It measures approximately 5.7 x 4.4 x 3.4 in. and weighs approximately 12.4-12.5 oz., with a standard 1/4″-20 tripod/accessory mounting thread on its base.
