No battery grip for the R8 or RP.

The question is if this is also compatible with the R8.

There is an extension for the R8. I saw it being used in one of the reviews I watched. It has no function other than extending the base an inch or so.

That’s the EG-E1 grip, I used it on my RP with heavier lenses. It transformed it from ‘painful rubbing’ to ‘pleasant to use’!
