Product Overview

Built for the Pentax K-3 Mark III, the D-BG8 Battery Grip is about staying ready when the light is good and the action doesn’t stop. It adds a second D-LI90 battery to your rig, pushing your shot count out to serious all-day territory, while the dustproof, weather‑resistant build matches the camera body so you can keep working when the weather turns ordinary shooters away.

The grip mirrors the key controls of the K-3 Mark III, including a secondary shutter button and dials, so swapping from landscape to vertical shooting feels natural and fast. The deep, textured grip gives you a solid, confident hold with heavier glass, helping steady the shot and balance the body. If you run a K-3 Mark III and spend long sessions in the field, this is the bit of kit that makes the camera feel complete.
