Questions & Answers

Shopper : does this come with a charger?MARLON MCNEILL S : This is a support for cameras that have power battery grips. It attaches at the bottom of the grip and the body strap holder/hook. This allows your hand to be supported while reducing the strain from the lens weight especially useful when using telephoto lens. The weight of using them hand held without a mono or tripod... your right hand can become very fatigue.PATRICK T : No this battery grip doesn't come with a charger. It holds two BLS1 batteries (which the E620 uses). You will have to use the charger that came with the E620, and you will need a second battery other than the one that came with the camera. The grip gives you extended battery life for all day shooting (two batteries that you supply). It also gives you a second grip for shooting vertical/ portrait shots, complete with a second shutter release button. I hope this helps.-Pat

A must have for e-620 users

Olympus HLD-5 doubles your battery life and makes the camera much easier to hold,especially if you have a heavier lens like the 12-60 swd which weighs more than the kit lens'

Useful and it Feels Good

I like this and I like having the two batteries right to hand. It's probably my imagination that made me feel as though the camera operates more smoothly, but even so more amperage is more driving force. The batteries are easily changed when a tripod or monopod is used and the added shutter button is sometimes easier to reach. This doesn't make the camera too large - it only makes it ALMOST as large as a full sized sensor camera always is, yet still lighter and easier to handle. No E-620 should be without this as an option, IMO.
