7 Must-Have Accessories Canon R6

  • February 28, 2022
  • AGriffin

The Canon R6 is a great camera for both photographers and videographers, and there are a lot of different accessories to help adapt the camera for different situations.

This guide will walk you through some of the best accessories for the Canon R6.

Canon EOS R6 – Amazon / Adorama / B&H

 

1. Screen Protectors

The screen on the Canon EOS R6 is actually really nice, and you could live without a screen protector because of the way it folds back for protection. However, it’s usually a good idea to use a screen protector just in case. I’ve been using glass screen protectors more lately and here is a brand that works well.

PCTC Canon R5 Screen Protectors

Best Screen Protector Canon R6Canon R6 Screen Protector: Amazon

PCTC gives you two glass screen protectors which are nice for backup, or in case you mess up on your first installation attempt. 

These are hard to get off after a while, so if you need to replace one, I’ve found using a little gentle heat from a hairdryer helps loosen the bond so that you don’t accidentally damage your camera when trying to peel it off.

 

2. Memory Cards

SD Cards Canon R6

Canon R6 Memory CardsThe Canon R6 offers two dual UHS-II memory card slots. These cards can run very fast if you buy the v90 cards, but the v60 cards can also be suitable for most people. The Sony M v60 card runs significantly faster than the other brands so be sure to check the benchmarks before buying.

3. Batteries and Battery Grips

There is a brand new battery for the Canon R6, even newer than what we had on the Canon R.

The R6 will only get the rated continuous burst speeds if the battery capacity is above 60%.

Official Batteries Canon LP-E6NH

Canon R6 Battery LP-E6NHAvailable At: Amazon / Adorama / B&H

The Canon E6NH are the latest batteries for the Canon system. They offer a 14% improvement in battery life compared to the standard E6N batteries that were shipped with the EOS R.

The older batteries will still work for powering the camera they just won’t last as long.

Rating: 2130 mAh /Voltage: 7.2 volts

 

Best Third-Party Batteries

There are a few options for third-party batteries for the Canon system. Today I’m using the BM Premium LP-E6N Batteries.

BM Premium LP-E6NH Batteries

Best Third-Party Batteries Canon R6Available at: Amazon

The BM LP-E6NH batteries are the updated versions to work with the Canon R5 and R6. The decoded chips in these batteries will allow them to work like the official batteries. 

Rating: 2130 mAh /Voltage: 7.4 volts /WH: 15.8Wh

 

Battery Grips

Canon BG-R10 Vertical Battery Grip

Available At: Amazon / Adorama / B&H

Canon Battery Grip

The BG-R10 is the basic battery grip for the Canon R6.

It comes with shutter and dial controls and is fully weather-sealed like the camera body and will allow you to use an additional battery.

Canon WFT-R10A Vertical Battery Grip + Wired Lan

Available At: Amazon / Adorama / B&H

This is the more premium battery grip for the Canon R6 and is loaded with features like a LAN port and offers other wireless connectivity options.

 

4. Body Cases

SmallRig Camera Cage For Canon R6

Available At: SmallRig

SmallRig Camera Cages are great cages for adapting the body with more video accessories. Their system is vairly modular and you can build onto it over time once you get the basic cage setup.

 

5. Camera Straps

Peak Design straps have a lot of great options for the Canon mirrorless system. I often use the Clutch hand strap with an additional strap attached.

Peak Design Clutch Camera Strap

Peak Design Clutch

The peak design clutch system is great for photographers that don’t always want to carry around a full strap, and it even includes an arca swiss base plate that the strap attaches to.

Available At: Amazon / B&H

Peak Design Slide Lite

Peak Design Slide Strap

Peak Designs seatbelt straps are nearly indestructible. For the Canon R6, you’ll probably want a thickness that is the medium or thin version depending on what kind of lenses you’re using. The medium-thickness strap or even the thick strap is nice when using heavier lenses.

Available At: Amazon / B&H

 

6. Microphones

 

Rode Wireless Go Compact System

Available At: Amazon / B&H

The Rode Wireless Mics are incredibly easy to use with good audio quality. Just make sure you keep them charged since they do not use interchangeable batteries.

Rode Lavalier Go Omnidirectional Microphone For Wireless Go

Available At: Amazon / B&H

The above Rode Wireless System does not include a mic unless you find some bundle.

This is the official Rode lav Mic designed for the wireless system.

You can also order the whole system as a kit that comes with mics.

Rode NTG Hybrid Mic

Available At: Amazon / B&H

The Rode NTG Hybrid mic has an impedance of 10 Ohms and works very well with Canon cameras.

This mic or the Rode VideoMic GO II are probably the best options for an on-camera mic. I personally prefer the Video Mic Go II for run and gun, but this Rode NTG is a little better equipped for professional settings.

 

7. Cleaning Accessories

 

Cleaning accessories are must-have accessories, I have a full guide for cleaning accessories here if you’d like to see what else I like.

Micro-Fiber Cleaning Cloths 6-Pack

Available At: Amazon

You can never have too many microfiber cleaning cloths. These are great for cleaning the EVF and lenses or UV filters.

They were out over time which is why this bundle is nice.

 

Rocket Air Blaster

Available At: Amazon

The rocket air blasters are my favorite simply because you can set them on your table without them rolling away.

They have a few sizes, Medium or Small is probably fine for these mirrorless cameras.

 

Sensor Brush

Available At: Amazon

Don’t bother with the wet method or the gel sticks when cleaning your sensor. Start with a sensor brush. 99% of the time if you take care of this, it will get the job done and is harmless to the sensor.

Just keep it in it’s bag and in the tube and never touch the bristles.

 

Extras

 

Canon RF Lenses

Be sure to check out my massive list of all the lenses that are available for the RF mount.

Why can't cameras refer to their bitrates in Megabytes per second so they match the speeds written on every memory… https://t.co/AwtVh6ad0V
