Canon's EOS R5 Mark II hybrid full-frame camera dropped last year in July alongside the flagship R1, both absolute powerhouses for pushing vast quantities of data, split-second shooting and detail-rich video files. Alongside the two new cameras, Canon also announced not one but three battery grips for the EOS R5 Mark II, giving it a form more similar to the flagship R1 with its built-in grip.
The R5 Mark II is a hybrid camera through and through, aimed at photographers, videographers and hybrid shooters who need to shoot both mediums. The three new grips are a perfect example of this, with the two BG-R20 and BG-R20EP grips good for stills shooting in the portrait orientation and space for two batteries to boost power for either stills or video recording. Whilst the CF-R20EP grip is ideal for video use with a fan to blow air through the R5 Mark II's vents for active cooling and to extend 4K and 8K video recording times. The cooling fan is also good for photographers using the Pre-Capture feature which also heats things up.
