hey everyone Rylis Productions here we just picked up a new camera setup uh the canon r5
for years we've been doing all our videos on this uh dinky uh smartphone actually doing the video
on the smartphone right now so we can't take a picture of it but you get the ideas
it's been on a smartphone and we needed to upgrade to a better camera setup to
be able to provide higher quality pictures and better video for our content
this camera puts out beautiful beautiful
pictures and video and all that but the downside to it is it's a huge battery hog
with one of these um higher capacity newer lp e6 nh batteries the camera itself will just
just drain it even though it's higher capacity it'll just drain it at the end of the day so
you'll it just just loves to consume all that electricity so with the
battery grip as you see here the bgr10 it essentially doubles your capacity so you don't
have to be worried about bringing out a juice or power when you're you know creating your content
and all that so here's the battery grip itself this battery door is originally on the camera
body and it just clips on see here's the door it just easily clips onto onto the battery plug and
this thing is made in taiwan unfortunately it's not made in japan i was hoping it was it's very
similar with the stipeling of the camera of the camera body of the r5
but it's not exactly the same pattern it's like it's very similar but um it's not the right
exact right texture it feels good though but you just so here's the battery itself
what you do is you basically just install it into the battery battery well there
and just lock this on from what i understand is you have to lock it down tight
so that the connections um are always secure and there you go you see the red light turning it on
so with the battery grip uh now um i'll show you we have two batteries in there two lp6 h batteries
so with the battery grip you have no worries of running out of juice and um you know that's the
main benefit of having the dual capacity batteries no worries no anxiety of running out of uh
power to create all your content so you can go all out through through the day and just
just do what you need to do not worry about it so that's the main benefit the secondary benefit to
a battery grip is the the grip itself without the the camera uh without the grip the camera
when you hold it your pinky will just dangle at the end of it um with the battery grip installed
there's that nook here that'll just provide a better grasp and and that's in the horizontal
orientation with the vertical grip it's it's even better because it's it's a much beefier
hand placement and there's more real estate so it's just a better feeling overall
so i'll show you guys the menu screen now and what's changed when you go into
oops battery info so here's the battery info now
as you can see there's two battery screens and what i found is the camera will always
use a higher percentage rating that 66 percent was uh at 100 earlier today and that 27 percent
has always been at 27 because it wasn't a fully charged battery but um it always uses the higher
uh uh battery bank and i swapped both batteries out just to see i'll show you that as well
i swapped them both out just to see if there's any difference actually labeled both batteries
so they just pop in like this there's one i swapped him out earlier and found out that the
whatever higher percentage will just be the one used first so and um when it slams into
the battery well it's it's a nice snug feeling so what i used to do with the camera body itself
with a single battery i would always pop out the the battery so it wouldn't trickle out
and um because when you have the the battery plugged in there the juice is still running
you'll see it just trickles the the battery uh slowly over time so what you can do now though is
this is essentially the on and off switch you can turn it off just with a twist of a knob here and
it powers off so you don't have to pop the battery out now um once you do switch the knob on there's
like a four second delay see it's about a four second delay and but that's just what i noticed so
the other benefit to the battery grip is for all your controls and your knobs
what are all the settings that you put on the camera body it'll translate into the the battery
grips controls so all your shutter speed and iso settings are going to be here now and all your
buttons are very similar to whatever is on the camera body it just translates to here and what
that does another side bonus to that is it reduces the wear and tear of the camera body itself
these are super high quality buttons and all that but they will wear over time probably so but now
with the battery grip you can share you can share the the usage of one and you know has its own
picture trigger and all that so it just it just shares the capabilities with the camera body so
um if this if this breaks it's only 350 bucks versus the camera body itself which is like 3 900
that's much more expensive this is you know you can probably get another one for much less
than the camera body so the camera grip does have a strap anchor point and we use this one
and this one i just took the strap off because it just was less cumbersome to have the strap
removed just to show you guys it also comes with a a quarter inch threaded
portion to so you can thread your your favorite mount on there or something so but um
the one downside that i do uh do find with the battery grip is this it just makes the whole
setup a little you know a lot heavier with this rf 28 to 70 lens this is already three pounds
with the camera body plus the battery grip and two of those uh two of those batteries in there
this would be another three pounds so this is this whole setup you heat see here is about six pounds
i would uh estimate um you know most people would like less weight but just it is what it is but
um i would imagine that this whole this whole size would be what the
an r1 would would look like so but yeah it does it does add weight and most people will complain
um about the extra weight but like i said it's only six pounds when i was in the military we had
a eight pound m16 where we took on mile uh miles long hikes and i would have killed for six pounds
so for those people complaining about six pounds what you need to do is get some dumbbells use
some curls and scroll bigger biceps and that'll take care of everything right so there you go um
so another downside is all this stuff what you see here is very expensive and i thought
uh car parts remote parts and stuff were were expensive but all this you see here is very costly
but it should be a good investment for us um the lens we did get a discount so instead
of 3000 it was 2900 the camera body is 3900 the camera grip itself is 350 bucks and then
oh this is actually a brand new battery um we bought a a second battery but the the vendor
sent us the third battery so each battery you see here is 80 bucks so uh plus uh 160
all this you see here is around 7 35 000 with the sd card let's say this is a 25 sd card
so all that that you see here is is about 7 335 and i don't even have a cf express card
so but um you know all this it does does cost you more but like i said it should be a good
investment for us hopefully we'll be able to to generate much better clear clearer pictures and um
more crisper videos and all that i still need to buy a mic um i'm not
a camera expert or anything but you know a microphone will improve the sound of of the camera
the camera mic built-in mic is horrendous but i'm not a camera expert or anything i'm just you know
just uh an average consumer but it should uh improve our videos from moving forward but uh
anyways that's it for now we're auralis productions
hopefully you guys like that uh review on the battery grip for the r5 guys see you later
