Product Description
Manufacturer's Description
The battery grip D-BG4 is powered by either a rechargeable Lithium-ion battery or six AA-size batteries. Since it supplements the camera's battery as an additional power source, the number of recordable images is greatly increased. To facilitate vertical-position shooting, this grip features extra shutter-release button, preview lever, electronic dials, AE-lock button, Green button and AF button. It also provides the same dustproof, weather- and cold-resistant construction as the camera body itself.

D-BG4 Battery Grip
28 Dec 2009
Amazon Verified Purchase
The D-BG4 battery grip features high quality build and allows you to use either a D-LI90 or AA batteries. Grip is fitted with controls for shutter release, depth of field preview, e-dails, exposure lock, green button and ISO. Very convenient accessory to have if you have large hands or are a composing vertical shot. Like the K-7, it is weather sealed.

Essential K-7 Battery Grip
9 Oct 2009
Amazon Verified Purchase
For those of us with larger than average hands, the small size of the K-7 makes it a bit less comfortable than the larger K20 despite the great ergonomics of the K-7. The answer is this battery grip. It is an essential addition to the K-7, greatly improving handling, comfort and ease for portrait-oriented shots. It is built with the same solid feel of construction and weather sealing as the camera. I especially like the dual battery tray option for standard K-7 battery or six AA batteries. Unfortunately, after returning two K-7 cameras, I have an excellent battery grip sitting around waiting for another K-7.

Far better than the imitation
26 Jan 2011
When I purchased the Pentax K7, I agonized over which battery grip I should purchase - the Pentax BG4 or the Chinese knock-off available here and on the auction site. I went with the imitation and, never having used the real Pentax, it seemed adequate. But I had issues - the silkscreened button labels rubbed off, the rubber veneer began to peel back, and the wheel and buttons were wobbly and cheap feeling.
After purchasing the Pentax K5, I decided to get this grip - the real Pentax BG4. What a pleasure it was to take this out of the box and wheel it onto my camera. The fit and finish are impeccable and the button/wheel action mirrors the camera's own. It's also worth noting that the rubberized sections have a nicer look and texture. I believe this product will last a long time.
For those on the fence regarding either the genuine or counterfeit grip I recommend the genuine artifact. I sympathize with you regarding the high cost but, then again, you did purchase a $1500 camera.
Final notes:
- The grip is plastic, not magnesium alloy but is tough, well-balanced and feels like the latter.
- The grip is waterproof whereas the imitations are not
- The tripod mount thread is off-center as it is on the imitation.
