A battery grip is an essential bit of photography kit

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.
