APRANET Tumax DSS688 battery grip per Canon EOS 5D Mark II

The Tumax DSS688 is a dedicated battery grip that transforms the handling of the Canon EOS 5D Mark II. Unlike universal grips, it integrates seamlessly with the camera body, providing a secure, ergonomic extension that balances the camera when using longer lenses or shooting for extended periods. Its rubberized surface and sculpted contours give a confident, non-slip hold, while the duplicated controls let you shoot vertically with the same speed and precision as horizontal.

Highlights

• Dual battery flexibility: accepts two Canon LP-E6 / LP-E6N / LP-E6NH lithium-ion batteries or six AA batteries via included magazines
• Full vertical shooting control: vertical shutter release, main dial, sub-dial, multi-controller joystick, AF point selection, AE/FE lock, and magnify buttons
• Solid construction: ABS plastic body with rubberized grip for durability and comfort
• Standard tripod mount: 1/4"-20 UNC thread for direct tripod attachment
• Includes AA battery magazine, LP-E6 battery magazine, and protective cap

In daily use

Mounting the DSS688 takes seconds, and once attached it feels like part of the camera. The vertical controls are placed exactly where your fingers expect them, so switching between landscape and portrait orientation is instinctive. With two LP-E6 batteries loaded, you can shoot all day without worrying about power, and the AA magazine is a lifesaver when you're away from a charger. The grip adds just enough size to improve handling for users with larger hands, without making the camera unwieldy.
