By Staff On Sep 26 2005 - 6:00am

Professional-grade digital camera grips for long-lasting power are available from DigiPower. Power Grip PG-CRBL for the Canon Digital Rebel and PG-ND70 for the Nikon D70 both hold two lithium-ion batteries, said to allow serious photographers double the shooting capacity on a single charge for digital SLR cameras.

The Power Grip also offers the flexibility of a secondary shutter release button for vertical shooting, and retains the tripod mounting thread to stabilize the camera during critical shots. Availability is September and additional models will be introduced later this year.

Suggested retails are $119.99 for the PG-CRBL and $134.99 for the PG-ND70.
