Questions & Answers

CHARLIE C : Does the grip's power switch operate the camera, or does the switch on both the camera and the grip need to be on for it to operate?JAMES R V : To use the grip you need both power switches turned on.Matthew W : No, the switch on the battery grip enables or disables the battery grip buttons. So you switch the camera on/off with the main switch and then switch the battery grip on if you want to use the camera in portrait mode with the grip.COREY B : No, the power switch on the grip is simply to turn the grip’s controls on and off. You can have a battery in the grip and the grip off and the camera will still operate.JULES D : The power switch around the shutter release on the grip does not power the camera on and off. It essentially just turns the buttons on and off on the grip. The camera will still recognize the grip and use it for power regardless of the grip's switch position.PHILLIP S : the camera switch has to be on for the grip power switch to work, leaving the grip switch off can be a benefit as it sometimes seems to hit your hand or clothing, taking unwanted frames, not a big deal thought. but yes both switches must be on for the camera and grip to function.
Shopper : Why Did You Choose This?RONALD C : I like a battery gripMAURICE G : FreeANGEL R : I have a K1 Mark II camera, I need this.ELIZABETH A : To not worry about battery life while on longer shoots.FRANK S : I have big hands and also wanted the vertical shooting position as well as the longer battery life for shooting sessions.GARY W : it was free with purchaseMARK S : Came with camera.VINCENT Y : Need the extra power for long days of shootingDUANE W : I didn't choose thisDALE S : For more power and because I have large hands therefore making it easier to grip the camera. I also shoot a lot of portrait orientated photos so the extra controls are helpful.WOLFGANG U : The newer processor of the K-1 II draws more power that the K-1 or K-3 II but uses the same battery so the grip gives your extra power for the long day trips in the woods. Also, while many are going for small...I like cameras that I can grip firmly as I have big hands.ANTONIS T : I have been buying the grips for the last three Pentax bodies I have owned. The extra battery has saved the day many times. It fits my hand better and makes vertical shooting easier.ROBERT F : Better handling with large lenes.JOHN E : Helps with battery life & balances the camera with larger lensesSteven M : Better Handling, extra battery life = more fun in the field! Gotta have the Grip...ROBERT D : Way better control of the camera when shooting in vertical position. Having the extra battery on board is great for times when more power is being drawn, such as burst mode or video.JAMES J : It came with the camera. Might be handy someday.KEVIN D : I just purchased a K1 Mark IIELISE J : Adds a bit of weight, but keeps me going on a long shoot.R J E K : I have been using Pentax since the early 1960's and have an enormous collection of lenses, added to which I have never had a problem with any model except for a K-5 which a relative's child deliberately dropped when I told him to put it down! I have purchased a K-1 locally as I cannot wait till I am back in USA and would have to pay prohibitive Tax and Duty if I imported anything costing more than AU$1000 from USA.

Convenient

I enjoy the fact that you can potentially use 2A batteries, or the Pentax manufactured batteries. The extra battery-grip makes day-long shooting that much easier.

Pentax Quality!

Great addition to the K1 Mark ii. It's lighter than I expected. I like the fact that it can use AA batteries with the additional drawer. It makes vertical shooting comfortable.

Pentax D-BG5 Battery Grip for K1 Digital SLR Camera - Holds One D-LI90P Battery

Great accessory, fits the camera very well, and make shooting portrait so much easier (the K1 allows rotation of the main menu content on the LCD screen from landscape to portrait...). I also like the fact that this grip comes with two different battery bays, one to house the Pentax D-LI90P cell, and the other for AA batteries.

Great addition to the K-1

By JOHN W.

Perfect for my hands and the camera.

When it comes to enhancing your photography experience with the Pentax K-1 or K-1 Mark II DSLR cameras, the D-BG6 Battery Grip is an indispensable accessory. Exclusively designed for these specific camera models, this sturdy and reliable battery grip not only extends your shooting time but also improves the handling of your camera.

The D-BG6 Battery Grip can accommodate six AA-size batteries or the standard lithium-ion rechargeable battery, providing you with an additional power source for extended shooting sessions. This is particularly beneficial for photographers who often find themselves in remote locations or shooting for prolonged periods without access to a power outlet.

Beyond its power-boosting capabilities, the D-BG6 Battery Grip also enhances camera control, especially in vertical shooting scenarios. It comes equipped with an extra set of controls, including shutter-release, AE-lock, AF, ISO, exposure-compensation buttons, and green buttons. Additionally, it features a preview lever and dual electronic dials, making vertical-position shooting a breeze.

Constructed with the same high-quality, weather-resistant materials as the K-1 camera body, this compact battery grip can withstand challenging shooting environments. Its dustproof and weather-resistant features ensure that it performs reliably, even in less than ideal conditions.

In summary, the D-BG6 Battery Grip is a durable, high-quality accessory that provides additional power and improved handling for your Pentax K-1 or K-1 Mark II DSLR cameras, making it an essential tool for any serious photographer.
