Product Overview

Built for shooters who don’t baby their gear, the Pentax D-BG5 Battery Grip turns your K-series DSLR into a tougher, longer‑lasting workhorse. It locks onto the body with a solid, weather‑sealed connection and mirrors your key controls – shutter, AF, AE‑L, ISO, exposure comp, green button, preview lever and dual dials – so shooting vertical feels as natural as shooting horizontal. The textured rubber grip gives you a confident hold, even when you’re working in the wet, dust or heat.

Slip in the same lithium‑ion battery you run in the camera, add a second pack or swap to six AA cells with the included tray, and you’re set for all‑day missions without hunting for a power point. Whether you’re tracking footy under lights, working a wedding, or chasing storms out bush, the D‑BG5 keeps your Pentax DSLR balanced, responsive and ready to fire long after a bare body would have tapped out.
