Canon BG-E11 Battery Grip for EOS 5D Mark III

The Canon BG-E11 Battery Grip is purpose-built for the EOS 5D Mark III, extending the camera's capabilities for photographers who need longer shooting endurance and more comfortable vertical handling. By accommodating up to two LP-E6 battery packs, the grip effectively doubles the camera's battery life, a critical advantage during weddings, sports events, and extended studio sessions where interrupting a shoot to swap batteries is not an option. For situations where rechargeable packs are unavailable, the grip also accepts six AA batteries, providing a practical fallback power source in the field.

Beyond power, the BG-E11 transforms the portrait shooting experience with a comprehensive set of duplicated controls. The vertical grip includes a shutter button, Main Dial, multi-controller, AF point selection button, AE lock/FE lock button, AF start button, and multi-function button, giving you the same level of control in portrait orientation that you have in landscape. The added height and mass also improve the balance of the camera body when paired with heavy lenses, reducing fatigue during long handheld sessions. The grip ships with a protective cover, soft case for the battery magazine, and mounting hardware, fitting seamlessly onto the 5D Mark III's battery compartment with the solid, precise connection expected from a first-party Canon accessory.
