A battery grip, also known as a vertical grip, is a popular add-on for consumer SLR cameras. The advantages of attaching one on a camera are multiple. A battery grip offers not only extended uptimes for your camera by housing two Li-ion batteries instead of one, it also allows the use of six AA batteries in a pinch. It adds a second shutter button and adjustment dials to allow shooting in portrait orientation with a more natural grip on the camera. It also balances your camera body when using larger and heavier telephoto zoom lenses. A battery grip is an essential addition to your gear bag if you're a DSLR video shooter whose battery life requirements are even higher than those of still photo shooters, given the same shooting span.

Our selection of Pixel battery grips offer the advantages highlighted above and are economical alternatives to OEM battery grips. Choose the right model for your Nikon or Canon camera.
