PENTAX D-BG6 battery grip for K-1 DSLR
Adds six AA batteries or a lithium-ion pack plus duplicate vertical controls to the Pentax K-1 DSLR
- Extended shooting time with six AA batteries or standard Li-ion
- Weather-resistant build matches K-1 body sealing
- Vertical shooting controls include shutter release and dual dials
- Improved handling with larger grip for portrait orientation
- Dedicated on/off switch prevents accidental activation
Tailored fit for Pentax K-1 series
The D-BG6 battery grip is built exclusively for the Pentax K-1 and K-1 Mark II DSLR cameras. It attaches securely to the body to extend shooting time and improve handling during long sessions. Photographers who need extra power and a more confident hold will find it matches the camera's design and weather sealing.
Dual power options with AA flexibility
The grip accepts one standard lithium-ion rechargeable battery or up to six AA-size cells for backup power. This lets you keep shooting in remote locations where recharging is not possible. AA batteries add convenience but do not match the capacity or recharge cycles of the dedicated lithium-ion pack.
Vertical shooting controls duplicate the body
A second shutter release, AE-lock, AF, ISO, exposure-compensation and green buttons sit alongside a preview lever and dual electronic dials. These controls mirror the horizontal layout so you can operate the camera identically in portrait orientation. Buyers who rarely shoot vertically will not use the extra buttons.
