USER’S MANUAL
Introduction
The Vello BG-C13 battery grip offers many benefits,
such as extended shooting time and more control
and comfort when shooting in a vertical (portrait)
orientation. It is compatible with the Canon T6i and T6s
DSLR cameras. The BG-C13 accepts up to two Canon
LP-E17 rechargeable batteries. The BG-C13 is equipped
with alternate shutter-release, aperture value/exposure
compensation, AF point selection/magnify, and AE lock/
FE lock/lndex/Reduce buttons, as well as a main dial, for
shooting in a vertical position. These features make the
battery grip ideal for portrait photography.
