Canon BG‑E13 Battery Grip for EOS 6D

The Canon BG‑E13 Battery Grip is a dedicated accessory designed to enhance the ergonomics and power capacity of the Canon EOS 6D. By extending the camera’s grip area, it offers photographers a more comfortable shooting experience while providing additional battery life for extended sessions.

Key Features

• Extended Ergonomics: The grip adds extra bulk to the back of the EOS 6D, allowing for a firmer hold during handheld or portrait‑orientation shooting. This is especially beneficial when using heavier lenses such as the EF 24‑105mm f/4L IS USM.
• Additional Power: Supports up to six AA (Mignon) batteries, effectively doubling the camera’s operating time compared to a single battery pack. The grip does not include batteries in the package, giving users flexibility to choose their preferred power source.
• Compatibility: Fully compatible with the Canon EOS 6D body and its standard accessories. It also works seamlessly with the EF 24‑105mm f/4L IS USM lens kit, ensuring a cohesive system for photographers who rely on this popular zoom range.
• Durable Construction: Made from high‑quality materials that match Canon’s build standards, the grip is designed to withstand regular use in various shooting environments.
• User Manual Included: Comes with a comprehensive operating guide (in multiple languages) that explains installation steps, battery management, and maintenance tips.

Design & Build

The BG‑E13 features a sleek black finish (Farbe: schwarz) that blends seamlessly with the EOS 6D’s aesthetic. Its compact shape ensures it does not interfere with lens mounts or other camera accessories. The grip’s internal layout is engineered to accommodate six AA cells, providing ample space for battery management without compromising on weight distribution.

Installation & Usage

1. Attach the Grip: Slide the BG‑E13 onto the back of the EOS 6D until it locks into place. The design ensures a secure fit that remains stable during vigorous handheld shooting.
2. Insert Batteries: Place up to six AA (Mignon) batteries into the designated slots. The grip’s battery compartment is designed for easy access, allowing quick swaps when needed.
