The Olympus Grip HLD-8G provides better, more comfortable handling of your OM-D E-M5 Mark II camera. The larger grip design makes it easier to shoot by modifying the angle and location of both the shutter button and the front dial control. It also comes with a 1/4-inch tripod socket at the base so you can still attach the camera on a tripod once the grip is in place.

In-built Shutter Release Button

The HLD-8G grip adds an alternative front dial and button for shutter release, positioned further forward, making it harder to accidentally bump and make unwanted changes to settings. This can save you time re-adjusting settings, to enhance your shooting experience.

Improves Handling of the EM5 Mark II

The grip provides the camera with improved comfort and ergonomics. It provides a solid grip for more secure handling and attaches to the bottom of your EM-5 Mark II with an integrated locking dial. You can still attach your camera to a tripod or monopod by using the 1/4-inch socket at the base for more stable shots and video footage.

Headphone Jack for Audio Monitoring

A built-in 3.5mm jack on the grip means you can attach headphones to monitor sound levels when filming to make sure the audio for your production is perfect.

Compatible with HLD-6P Battery Holder

Add the Olympus HLD-6P battery holder to the grip, which can be easily added onto the base, to give additional power for even longer shoots.

Durable Splash Proof Build

The Olympus HLD 8G Grip has a dust and splash proof design that perfectly matches the EM-5 Mark II so that you can keep shooting with confidence, even in less than ideal weather conditions.
