View warranty terms and conditionsThe Olympus HLD-7 is a battery grip designed specifically for the Olympus OM-D E-M1 camera. Its main function is to improve ergonomics when shooting vertically, replicating the camera's essential controls (shutter button, dials, and function buttons) so that operation is just as comfortable as in horizontal. Additionally, it can hold an extra battery, extending the camera's battery life.
This second-hand accessory has been inspected by Camera Market and comes with a 6, 12, or 24-month warranty, giving you peace of mind with your purchase. Its dust- and splash-resistant design complements the E-M1's construction, allowing you to work in adverse weather conditions. For exact technical specifications, we recommend checking the manufacturer's datasheet.

The Olympus HLD-7 Power Battery Grip for E-M1 is designed for use with the OM-D E-M1 Micro Four Thirds digital camera. The HLD-7 features a shutter release, two control dials and two function buttons for shooting vertically, in order to afford the same ease of operation you enjoy when shooting in horizontal position. Having an extra battery in the grip with another in the camera, you can capture approximately 680 shots per charge. Its dust- and splash-proof design also complements the weather resistant construction of the E-M1 for shooting in inclement conditions. Furthermore, battery and grip sections are separated, and an optional Grip Strap GS-5 is available for added security.
