What are the essential accessories for a new Canon R6 Mark II?

Question

I just finally pulled the trigger on the Canon R6 Mark II and I am beyond excited to start shooting with it! I am upgrading from an older DSLR, so I know I will need a few new things to really take advantage of the mirrorless features.

I have already been looking at high-speed SD cards to handle that 40fps burst rate, but I am torn between V60 and V90 options. I am also curious about extra batteries or if I should just get a USB-C power bank for charging on the go.

What are the absolute must-have accessories you would recommend for a new R6 Mark II setup to ensure I am covered for both stills and some light video work?

Honestly u should get:ProGrade Digital SDXC UHS-II V90 128GBCanon LP-E6NH Lithium-Ion Battery It'll handle those 250MB/s write speeds for 40fps way better... gl!

Ok so I'd actually suggest a different approach for the cards. Respectfully, V90s are usually overkill and super pricey for light video work. In my experience, the Lexar Professional 1667x 128GB SDXC UHS-II V60 (around $40) handles those 40fps bursts perfectly fine. Also, skip expensive OEM spares and try:

Anker 737 Power Bank PowerCore 24K

SmallRig LP-E6NH USB-C Rechargeable Camera Battery It's way more budget-friendly and just as reliable... cheers!
