You don't have to take the batteries out of the R6 battery grip to charge them. Just charge by using the USB C port on the R6. I actually use my EOS R Battery grip charger to do this. works every time!
Yeah I just don't trust that running electrical current through my camera body for hours on end would be very good. I'd rather just charge the batteries outside of the camera body, just personal preference.
@@JamesDelthe USB C is a very safe charging standard, unlike the older technologies from the past (e.g. flimsy and prone to easily being damaged or overheated micro USB). Charging through camera body will be fine, don't worry too much mate.
Also! - For sony, Vello make battery grips for 1/4 the price of Sony's branded grip and does the exact same job. Just feels cheap in your hands. Zero issues with it. Dont know if Canon do off brand grips but I recommend over the pricey brand name.
I've only just purchased a grip for my EOS R and the option of charging it separately from the camera is probably its best new feature. I share your concerns about running electricity through the camera, so why Canon ditched the charger concept is bewildering. At least this one is solidly built, as they all tend to be.
Cheers for the comment, Michael, I agree with it being a solid build at least. It blows my mind there's no charging port on this newer version, they literally went backwards with that design choice. Baffling! 🙏🏻📸
Such an accurate video, battery life on these camera's is terrible when shooting 4K. I also think the overheating issue with this camera is truly absurd. After owning for 8 months, the over heating is just so frustrating!!! I would assume not much, but does this help at all with heating issues?
I've only ever had this camera overheat when shooting 4k in 90+ degree weather for 20+ minutes at a time. But with that said, I don't really shoot long clips usually. I doubt that the battery crip would play any part in overhearing issues but I haven't ran any tests either.
Wait until you use the canon rf 85mm or 24-70mm with the grip you will fell how heavy it is😂 For me I only use battery grip when needed, It’s way too heavy for me
I don’t know why the non existent USB-C port is any problem at all.. U leave the grip on the R5/6 anyway and leave the batteries in there as well and then just plug the R5/6 with the USB-C and it all charges.. or doesn’t it?
I read on the canon forum that it's not great for your camera body to leave it plugged in via USB for prolonged periods of time. I'll see if I can find that thread again
@@JamesDel well.. Canon sells a usb c charger himself.. and also why should they make the all new usb-c chargeable lp e6n h and the r5/6 usb chargeable at all?
Wow that’s crazy I used the canon 200d mark ii for a day out took over 100 raw photos shooting for like more then 3 hours and then my battery ran out but the 200d battery is smaller then the R6 so I’m not sure what’s going on with your battery?
@@JamesDel thats a shame, its relatively expensive but Im rocking a smallrig cage with my set up and when I get the grip I also have to get the new cage
Do you mean instead of using a battery grip? I sometimes do that too, depending on the shoot. When you couple the battery grip with a big lens it can be a real pain to carry around for long periods of time.
Ridiculous that i can't just plug the VG into my iMac and charge both batteries. Doing that with my Sony a9II right now. I do find however that I can plug the R5 grip into my MacBook pro and it will charge both batteries. Someone at Canon dropped the ball.
An hour out of a battery before it dies to me is ridiculous. Especially if you do time-lapse. I'm not upgrading to mirrorless any time soon. This is a big no no, despite all the good things about it. I might just spend the money on a used 1DX at a fraction of the price. But I do have very specific needs
Check out this 3rd party version. It's definitely more affordable! www.adorama.com/gxbgr10.html?gad_source=1&gclid=Cj0KCQjw-ai0BhDPARIsAB6hmP4Xk0SyQb2XKFUR27TyzjP_Mo8sEt6TwRbqMWl_3TpQRRUxDkweCjwaAvrSEALw_wcB&gclsrc=aw.ds&

Yeah I mention that around the 4.50 mark.
Not a huge fan of charging batteries via camera usbc port though! 😬
@@JamesDelIs that a fire or a fragility issue (in camera charging)?

Normal charging doesn't work btw..😊 they need a lot of power

Sony A74 - Weekend festival - 2 days - 1 battery. 2,000ish photos. Video is the killer

That's incredible!! Yeah man, video and generally using the screen instead of the viewfinder is what gets me!

I use an coupler+dummy LP-E6 + V-mount to shot videos
Great review bro! Content killer as usual! 👌
🙏🙏
Very helpful video and very bad info
I was hoping I can charge the grip with power bank when out in nature
Honestly who is designing these gadgets?
You can charge it as long as the grip is attached to your camera. It's annoying, I agree. Especially for the $$$
Great review. Many thanks!😊😊🙏
Happy to help! 🙏🏼

Great news! Canon BG-R10 Battery Grip was sucks, now you'll need to buy Canon BG-R20 Battery Grip!
Wow that’s crazy I used the canon 200d mark ii for a day out took over 100 raw photos shooting for like more then 3 hours and then my battery ran out but the 200d battery is smaller then the R6 so I’m not sure what’s going on with your battery?
does it improve the shutter speed when it is attached to the R6
I have never noticed a difference in improved shutter speed, is that really a thing with battery grips? I've never seen canon mention that anywhere
@@JamesDel noticed it with my 5DIV
Interesting! Something I'll keep an eye out for!
I have 5 batteries total for this R6. That lets you know how bad the battery life is lol
Lol. You have a Canon battery that takes pictures
So it doesn’t come with batteries?
The battery grip? No, no batteries included with that.
@@JamesDel thanks 🙏🏼
Get third party batteries. 2850mAh in stead of 1850.
Why so?
@@JamesDel Fix flaw one?
Is the bg e22 compatible with the r6?
No, it's not. You'll need the BG-R10 for the R6.
@@JamesDel thats a shame, its relatively expensive but Im rocking a smallrig cage with my set up and when I get the grip I also have to get the new cage
Yeah my batteries die a lot but I have 4 on me in case that happens hahah
I prefer just taking out the batteries
