## Overview

The Vello BG-C17 Battery Grip for Canon EOS Rebel SL2 enhances your shooting experience by allowing you to hold two LP-E17 rechargeable batteries, providing extended power for those long photo sessions.

## Description

Never on the market before, the Vello BG-C17 Battery Grip for Canon EOS Rebel SL2 is specifically designed for this camera because there was no battery grip available until now. Attaching the grip is done by installing the dummy battery into the camera's battery chamber, which is attached to the grip through the power supply cable, and tightening down the grip against the body via the thumbscrew into the 1/4"-20 tripod socket; a little of the power supply cable is left exposed, but does not interfere with the mounting.  The BG-C17 accepts two LP-E17 rechargeable batteries, which doubles the camera's battery life and shooting time. At the same time, the grip offers a comfortable, extended, rubberized non-slip grip, and a shutter release button for vertical use, so you're not shooting with your arm and hand in an awkward position. To get the vertical shutter button on the grip to operate, you must install the shutter release cable that leads from the grip into the camera's remote control port. Additionally, the grip maintains tripod support with the threaded 1/4"-20 socket on the bottom, and a strap mount on the side, so a hand or shoulder strap can securely attach.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: I was curious: the battery door on the canon rebel sl2 appears to be in a hard hinge that can't be removed. how can one accommodate the battery grip?**
A: The fake battery that goes into the camera hangs from the grip from the tiny black cord you see in the picture..that fake batter in the picture is not solidly attached to the grip..so on the camera there is a small rubber that you pull out to make room for that cord so you can close the hinge ...put the fake battery in, close the hinge, then screw in the grip

**Q: Is this compatible with the SL3?**
A: I think yes

**Q: Are the batteries hot swappable? I have 3 batteries I can use, so when 1 is drained and the camera is running on the other, can i swap the drained one**
A: Great question, I never thought to try...just recorded a video and yes, I was able to swap out a battery mid recording..but what I didnt know is witch battery was drained..the battery level indicator on camera didnt change power level..but than again I am using 3rd party batteries

**Q: Does this fit the cabin SL3/250D as well?**
A: I don’t think so, I think it’s specifically only for sl2

## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Love this grip!
*by C***Y on February 14, 2020*

Live it. I’ve had to rearrange my after market batteries every once and a while when my camera does recognize a battery but it wasn’t because of this grip. Whorls well with both canon batteries and aftermarket Knick offs . I’ve never tried using the shutter cable.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great product
*by J***K on July 11, 2019*

This battery grip came with excellent instructions and was a snap to attach to my camera. I have the Canon EOS Rebel SL2 DSLR Camera. The batteries are securely set in the grip, and the camera takes pictures without hesitation or complication.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ After market gem!!!
*by E***  on August 27, 2020*

Works great for me. That battery cable could be better if it were a ribbon cable or internally built. Works great with off brand batteries too. I'm glad I came across this gem. It helped me out a lot for portraits.
