The OM System HLD-10 Power Battery Holder transforms the way photographers handle their OM-1 — improving comfort, endurance, and control for long days behind the camera. Designed to integrate seamlessly with OM System’s flagship mirrorless body, it extends battery life and enhances ergonomics without compromising the camera’s compact feel.
Inside, the HLD-10 holds a second BLX-1 lithium-ion battery, effectively doubling your shooting time. It’s perfect for extended sessions like wildlife shoots, timelapses, or weddings where every moment counts. The dual power system allows smooth battery switching, so you can shoot continuously without interruption.
The grip replicates key camera controls — including shutter release, front/rear dials, and multi-selector — allowing intuitive operation when shooting vertically. This makes portrait sessions and low-angle compositions far more natural, maintaining the same tactile precision and feedback as the camera body itself.
Built from magnesium alloy and reinforced composite materials, the HLD-10 is fully weather-sealed (IP53) to match the OM-1’s resistance to dust, splashes, and freezing temperatures down to –10 °C. The secure locking mechanism ensures a tight connection, while the built-in tripod socket means you never lose mounting flexibility.
Photographers appreciate how the HLD-10 improves handling with larger telephoto lenses, balancing the setup and reducing fatigue during long handheld sessions. Despite its strength, it remains lightweight and compact enough for travel, maintaining OM System’s hallmark portability.
For creators who shoot for hours, switch between orientations, or demand professional endurance from a mirrorless setup, the HLD-10 is an essential upgrade — combining power, comfort, and resilience in one precision-built accessory.
