Features
Overview: The HLD-6 is a Power Battery Holder made to work with the Olympus OM-D E-M5 camera. It consists of two parts that can be used separately or together. The battery holder will accommodate a spare BLN-1 Lithium-Ion battery, which will double your shooting capacity. Like the E-M5 camera, the HLD-6 is dust- and splash proof.
HLD-6P: The HLD-6P battery holder and vertical grip is designed to be used when shooting photographs or movies in the Portrait (vertical) orientation. It has a molded grip for stable shooting, a Main Dial, a built-in shutter button, two programmable Function buttons, and a DC-IN port for plugging in an optional AC Power Adapter (AC-3). The HLD-6P attaches to the bottom of the E-M5 camera, and is locked in place with a thumbscrew. An additional BLN-1 battery will fit into the cavity of the grip to give you longer shooting times. In the camera menu, you can choose which battery to use first; once it is drained, the camera will start using the second battery. It adds approximately 1-1/4" to the height and 4.5 ounces (6.3 ounces with battery) to the weight of the camera.
HLD-6G: The HLD-6G grip fits onto the bottom of the camera, and is designed to be used when shooting in the Landscape (horizontal) orientation. The grip has a built-in shutter button, and a thumbscrew for locking it onto the camera. It can be used with or without the HLD-6P. It adds approximately 7/16" to the height and 3.6 ounces to the weight of the camera.
Dimensions:
- HLD-6P: W=4.627", H=1.414, D=2.111"
- HLD-6G: W=4.684", H=2.837", D=2.015"

This grip is really great! It makes it easy to hold the camera at any angle and the buttons are a great help.
