USER’S MANUAL

Thank you

The Vello BG-C15-2 battery grip offers extended
shooting time and comfort when shooting in a vertical
(portrait) orientation. The grip is compatible with the
Canon 77D and T7i DSLR cameras and accepts up to
two Canon LP-E17 rechargeable batteries. It offers an
alternate shutter release button that triggers the camera
via the included shutter release cable, making the grip
ideal for shooting portrait photography. And there is a
convenient control-locking switch to prevent unwanted
shutter triggering.
