Find the Best Battery Grips & Accessories for Extended Shooting
For photographers who need extended power and improved handling, camera battery grips are an essential upgrade. A battery grip allows you to use multiple batteries at once, significantly increasing shooting time and reducing the need for frequent battery swaps. Plus, these grips offer enhanced ergonomics, making it easier to handle your DSLR or mirrorless camera—especially for vertical compositions.
Most battery grips include extra controls like a secondary shutter button, dials, and customizable function buttons, ensuring smooth operation whether you're shooting in landscape or portrait orientation. At Adorama, we carry a wide selection of battery grips and battery grip accessories from trusted brands including Canon, Nikon, Sony, Blackmagic Design, and Green Extreme.
The Benefits of Using Battery Grips
Battery grips not only extend your camera's power supply—they also provide an improved grip and control surface. This is especially helpful for mirrorless camera users who want a larger, more balanced feel in hand.
With the built-in secondary shutter button and mode dials, it's easier to shoot comfortably in vertical orientation without awkward hand positioning. The larger grip surface also allows you to stabilize your camera better and reduce fatigue during long sessions.
Many professionals rely on battery grips to manage power more efficiently. You can run two batteries at once and swap them strategically, keeping your workflow uninterrupted during long shoots.
Battery Holders and Trays
A battery holder or battery tray slides directly into your battery grip and holds individual batteries. Many photographers keep a spare tray pre-loaded with fresh batteries so they can swap in a new set instantly—no fumbling required.
This accessory is especially useful for time-sensitive sessions like weddings, sports, or wildlife photography where every second counts.
Chamber Covers
Most battery grips require you to remove your camera's built-in battery door, also known as a chamber cover. These covers are small and easy to misplace during a shoot. If you ever lose one, Adorama makes it easy to find the exact replacement for your camera model.
Top Brands for Battery Grips
You can always shop battery grips made by your camera's original manufacturer—like Canon, Nikon, or Sony. But there are also top-rated third-party options from trusted names like Blackmagic Design, Green Extreme, Bower, and Vivitar.
To ensure compatibility, always filter by your exact camera model and brand when shopping for battery grips and accessories.
