This list will show you some of the best accessories for the Olympus OMD E-M5 Mark II.
Olympus E-M5 Mark II Accessories
Batteries For Olympus E-M5 II
Extra Batteries for the Olympus OMD E-M5 II are always handy. You can buy 3rd party batteries or Olympus batteries. On some cameras the third-party batteries work fine, on others they can give you trouble. Usually what I’ve found, is if you buy third-party batteries, charge them with the camera or the charger that came with the camera to maintain a proper charge.
Olympus E-M5 Mark II Screen Protectors
Because of how the screen folds in, you might not need a screen protector. The Expert Shields work great. I use them on all my cameras. I have crystal clear on one camera and matte on the other. I like the matte.

Olympus E-M5 II Memory Cards
I’ve compared all the most popular memory cards as part of my speed test. The only thing I haven’t done was test UHS-II cards. But check out what I got and use this guide when buying your memory cards.

External Grip & Battery Pack
I’ve been having trouble with a lot of these smaller cameras fitting well in my hand. I often find myself buying some sort of external grip. Usually a leather half case but those don’t always feel good either. So if you have that same problem check out these grips.
Olympus E-M5 Mark II Straps
I have been impressed with the Gariz straps and cases lately. I believe they are a Korean company and their quality is unmatched. But Gordy’s makes my favorite wrist strap.

- Gordy’s Camera Strap – gordyscamerastraps.com – these are my favorite.
Full Straps
You can also get a Gordy’s full strap or sling as well.
Cleaning Equipment
If your sensor gets dirty you can try one of these. They are handy to have around just to pick off that one piece of dust. But always try to use air if you can, and avoid wet cleaning methods on those image-stabilized sensors since the sensor sort of just hovers there suspended by magnets. Cleaning your sensor on a camera like this is for experts only. Otherwise, take your camera to Olympus and have it cleaned. It’s just not worth messing it up.
Olympus E-M5 Mark II Accessories – Bottom Line
The Olympus EM-5 Mark II is an amazing camera built with some really impressive tech. From the day it launched the camera camera was a classic and with the right accessories and care, it will continue to produce some amazing images well into the future.
Make sure you grab a screen protector and maybe a nice case or bag to protect your camera, keep it clean with some microfiber cloths or some Q-Tips and blast it down with some air and you should have a camera that maintains its pristine shine and stays the conversation starter that it is.
