Buy: Used Panasonic DMW-BGGH5 Battery Grip for Lumix DC-GH5 Camera, Additional Battery Compartment, Vertical Shutter Release Button, Splashproof, Dustproof, Freezeproof E+ MFR: DMW-BGGH5.

Make vertical shooting more comfortable by adding this optional grip to the Panasonic LUMIX GH5 camera body. It contains a battery compartment for an additional battery that takes over when the battery in the LUMIX GH5 has been depleted. A second shutter release improve the ergonomics of shutter release while holding the camera vertically. Like the LUMIX GH5, the grip is protected from harsh weather conditions (Splashproof / Dustproof / -10C Freezeproof).

Must have for the GH5 or GH5s.  Flawlessly switches from grip battery to internal battery without stopping during recording.

Must have for the GH5 or GH5s

If you are shooting timelapse you need this or some other easy way to swap batteries while shooting is in progress. Most tripods or mounts will make swapping batteries out of the bottom of the camera difficult. This solves that problem. If you shoot stills and run the camera vertically the extra controls are really handy, too. My one complaint is that it comes loose and needs to be snugged up too often.

Almost a must have

As the previous reviewer noted, the positioning of the 1/4in is completely off. It is literally on the opposite side of where it should be. The lens mounts on the left side of the camera and my Manfrotto 501PL baseplate ends up on the right side of the camera. It is utterly lopsided. On a glidecam, it is impossible to balance my GH5 with this grip. Worst, I can't even set it down on a table without it toppling over diagonally.

Awful 1/4in mount thread positioning

Positives:

- Better build than the GH3/4 grip, doesn't wiggle around and feel nearly as flimsy
- Joystick button and other parity controls work as expected
- Gives the camera much better ergonomics especially for larger handed shooters (honestly would be better for anyone who doesn't have "small" hands)

Negatives:

- Overpriced by about $
- Tripod mount is OFFSET!!! Common guys you market, price and sell this camera system for pros and your tripod mount is not aligned with the lens!?! This is extremely frustrating

Overall:

If you need to shoot stills, want double battery life and will immediately benefit from better ergonomics, oh, and have $ to torch, then go for it. Otherwise wait for a third party solution. And Panasonic, nor Adorama has addressed a solution for the misaligned tripod mount. I think I may take to twitter to see if I can get their attention there. Are you listening @PANASONIC???

Cheers GH5 shooters.

Recommend if you are a larger handed shooter, but overpriced and flawed
