Ricoh/Pentax Pentax Battery Grip D-BG6 for K-1

Pentax D-BG6 Battery Grip for K-1 – Vertical Shooting with Dual Electronic Dials

The Pentax D-BG6 is a dedicated battery grip made exclusively for the PENTAX K-1 camera body. It facilitates comfortable vertical-position shooting and reproduces key camera controls so you can operate the camera naturally when shooting in portrait orientation.

Main features

• Exclusive compatibility: designed for use only with the PENTAX K-1 camera body.
• Vertical shooting controls: includes a shutter release button to trigger the camera in vertical orientation.
• Camera-matched controls: provides the same set of control buttons found on the camera body — AE lock, AF, ISO, exposure compensation, and the green button — so familiar functions remain at hand.
• Preview lever and dual electronic dials: a preview lever plus two electronic dials operate just like those on the camera body, enabling consistent control over settings.
• Durable construction: features dustproof, weather-resistant construction identical to the PENTAX K-1 camera body for use in challenging conditions.
• Flexible power options: accepts the dedicated lithium-ion rechargeable batteries used by the camera and also accepts six AA-size batteries for alternative power.

How it helps your workflow

When you switch to vertical shooting, the D-BG6 gives you a dedicated shutter release and the same key controls that you use in horizontal mode. As a result, you can change exposure, ISO, AF settings, and more without awkward hand positions. In short, it maintains your shooting rhythm and control layout when you rotate the camera.

Power and flexibility

The grip accepts the camera’s dedicated lithium-ion rechargeable batteries to extend shooting time. In addition, it accepts six AA-size batteries, providing a practical alternative power source when recharging is not possible. Therefore, you can continue shooting under extended or remote conditions with flexible battery choices.

Design and durability

Voiced to match the PENTAX K-1 body, the D-BG6 uses dustproof and weather-resistant construction identical to the camera. Consequently, it preserves the camera’s level of environmental protection and helps you shoot in adverse conditions while retaining the same level of sealing as the body.
