The Meike MK-7D (also known as the MK-7D/BG-E7) is a third-party battery grip designed specifically for the Canon EOS 7D. It serves as a more affordable alternative to the official Canon BG-E7 grip, providing extended battery life and improved handling for vertical shooting.
Key Features and Specifications:
Dual Power Support: It can hold either two LP-E6/LP-E6N Li-ion batteries or six AA batteries using the included battery magazine.
Extended Shooting Time: Effectively doubles the camera's battery capacity, allowing for longer shooting sessions without changing batteries.
Vertical Controls: Includes a vertical shutter release button with a half-press function, a main dial, AF point selection, and AE/FE lock buttons to mimic the camera's horizontal controls.
Mounting and Storage: Features a standard 1/4" tripod screw mount and a dedicated storage slot for the camera's original battery door to prevent loss.
