Shoot for longer and improve the ergonomics of your Panasonic GH5, GH5S, or GH5 II with this Battery Grip from Vello. This accessory can hold a DMW-BLF19 battery while allowing you to use a second cell inside the camera, effectively doubling your shooting time. An aptly-placed shutter release button and a rubberized body help improve functionality when shooting in portrait mode, while dual command dials and white balance, ISO, and exposure compensation buttons give you full control over your exposure. On the back side, you can also find an AF/AE lock and joystick/Fn controls which perform the same function as their on-camera equivalents.

For installation, remove the contact caps from both your camera and the grip. Align the mounting screw and pin, then rotate the large locking wheel until the grip is firmly attached. Note that the accessory has an on/off switch, which can be used to shut off the grip's controls while still providing you with the extra power from the battery. Finally, a lug on the side can be used to attach an optional wrist strap, and a 1/4"-20 socket at the bottom allows you to work with a tripod or monopod.
