Great accessory help to steadily hold camera | Vertical shutter button

If you shoot a lot of portraits, you're going to be spending a lot of time with your camera flipped vertically, and before long you'll get tired of reaching over the top of your camera to press the shutter button.

When that happens, you'll want to get a vertical battery grip. Besides enabling you to use two batteries, so you can shoot longer without recharging your batteries, there's another huge advantage to battery grips, and that is that most include a vertical orientation shutter button and dials for setting your aperture and shutter speed, so you're as comfortable shooting vertically as when you're shooting horizontally. Besides those advantages, it makes the whole camera feel better and more substantial in your hands, even when shooting horizontally and how a camera feels in your hands is very important.

The best news is these battery grips are available for most dSLRs, and for all the advantages they offer, they cost affordable. Please take note that not all battery grips have the vertical shutter button, so check to make sure the one you order does.

Most high-end cameras like a Canon 1 D Mark II or Mark III, or a Nikon D2X5 or Nikon D3 already come with a vertical shutter button built right in.
