The Pentax D-BG2 Battery Grip offers additional power to ensure maximum shooting performance for the K10D & K20D cameras while it's in continuous use. The grip atttaches a second high-capacity D-Li50 Li-Ion battery (sold separately) to the camera and features as well an additional shutter release an adjusting dial for selecting aperture or shutter speed and other functional controls - making it particularly practical when shooting vertically. The ergonomic design of the grip ensures that the camera fits firmly and comfortably in the hand and is weatherproof - like the K10D & K20D cameras themselves. Furthermore the battery compartment provides storage space for an extra memory card and a remote control.

Perfect accessory for Pentax digitals

"It lives on the camera. I never shoot without it. The battery draw also has storage for one extra SD card. It's perfect for using the camera in the portrait orientation because the second shutter release and controls are right there. It's possible to half press the second shutter release when handling the camera or chimping, however this is not a problem when shooting. The second power on/preview switch is ..."

Large palms and the case for memory card

"Indeed, I count on more. Could use a standard battery, which works together with the inside chamber. Because I have "no female" palms, it is very convenient. Join him once, I do not remove more of it:). Very convenient that inside there is room for memory cards and remote control. For vertical shooting - very narrow in scope...." Read Full Review »

"I couple the BG2 with my k20D because I want a grip that can provide a shutter-release button for portrait shooting. This is not an after-market grip, this is the real McCoy by Pentax that fits the K20D perfectly!
