Couldn't Be Happier

To help ensure I never run out of power, I always purchase a battery grip for my cameras. Upon purchasing and installing this one, I experienced something I never had before — additional power without adding any real bulk. This grip combo is extremely comfortable and stable, yet small. Of all the grips I've ever used, this one is by far the most impressive. The look and feel is awesome. The functionality meets my needs. Installation was simple. I vaguely remember having to reestablish some of my settings, but that was a minor issue. Very happy with this product and purchase. Couldn't recommend it more.

Excellent accessory for the E-M5 II

I would consider this a "must have" accessory for the E-M5II. What I love about Olympus' implementation of the battery grip is that you can separate the pieces and only use what you need. I always have the top piece installed on the camera, as I find it makes it a perfect fit for my hands. This also makes it much easier to hand-hold the 40-150 2.8! But, if I know I'll be shooting a lot of verticals, I can attach the battery grip portion in seconds and gain another dial and shutter release. Then when I'm through, I can remove just the battery grip and have a small, light m4/3 camera body again. And if I really want to go small and light, you can remove the whole thing and you're in business.
