One of the most under rated digital photography accessories ever
is the battery grip. Yep, this little (or not so little as the case may be for
some models) accessory will transform the way your camera handles and,
consequently, lead to you taking better photos as a result.
It is strange how many people fail to say the battery grip
is an essential accessory, and I do wonder whether this is because these people
want to keep it a secret or whether it is they haven’t yet experienced what a
battery grip can do.
If there’s one situation a battery grip is essential it’s
when using heavy and/or lenses and taking hand held shots. Heavy and/or long
lenses can upset a camera’s balance, and make it awkward and ‘unnatural’ to
shoot. Attach a battery grip however, and the balance is restored.

photography equipment a battery grip is check out the following clip, courtesy
