The Canon BG-E4 Vertical Grip/Battery Holder holds two BP-511 battery packs, to offer double-length shooting time, or six AA batteries as a power back-up when on location.
The Canon BG-E4 Vertical Grip shutter release makes shooting with the camera in a vertical position just as comfortable as shooting horizontally.
One of the significant differentiators between the Canon EOS 5D Digital SLR and Canon's 1-Series bodies is the lack of a built-in portrait grip. Add the Canon BG-E4 Battery Grip and this difference is gone. But so is the size and weight difference (the BG-E4 weighs 1.375 lb/.17 kg with batteries). But, the Canon BG-E4 Battery Grip can be added or removed as desired - giving you the best of both worlds.
