Compatible Battery Grip for LUMIX GH5

The Panasonic DMW-BGGH5 is a dedicated battery grip designed exclusively for the LUMIX GH5 mirrorless camera body. It attaches securely to provide a more substantial hold and integrates a secondary shutter release for vertical orientation shooting. Photographers who regularly work with this specific model gain improved handling without adding separate accessories.

Extended Power with Dual Battery Capacity

The grip houses a compartment that accepts one additional DMW-BLF19 battery alongside the unit already inside the camera. This configuration effectively doubles the available power for extended sessions such as weddings or outdoor reportage. When both cells are depleted, the user must still swap batteries manually as the grip does not offer hot-swap capability.

Vertical Shutter Button for Portrait Work

A two-step shutter release on the vertical grip allows precise focus acquisition and capture while holding the camera upright. This control mirrors the primary button behaviour, making it the deciding feature for portrait and event shooters who frequently rotate the body. Buyers who rarely shoot vertically or who already own a grip with this function will not benefit from this addition.

Questions about this item

Will the DMW-BGGH5 grip work with the LUMIX GH5 body I already own?

Yes, the grip is designed specifically for the Panasonic LUMIX GH5 camera body and attaches directly to it.

How do I know the second shutter button on the grip is functioning after I attach it?

Half-press the vertical shutter button; the camera should activate autofocus and metering just as the main button does.

Does the DMW-BGGH5 come with a DMW-BLF19 battery or do I buy it separately?

The grip includes a compartment for an extra DMW-BLF19 battery; the battery itself is sold separately.
