Excellent grip, excellent price

"Was looking for a grip and saw the Canon brand grip was very pricy. This boasts all the same features: AE Lock, AF select, and selection wheel along with the shutter button on the side; for a fraction of the cost. There doesn't seem to be any sacrifice in build quality, and even the rubber used for the side grip feels just as good, if not a bit softer than the rubber on my 50D. Holds two 50D batteries or 6 ..." Read Full Review »

The battery magazine is not good.

"The grip itself is solid, but the battery magazine for AA batteries is very poor.

Hopefully there is a replacement battery holder...." Read Full Review »

"an excellent alternative to the over-priced canon grip. the most important button, the vertical shutter release, feels just as good as the one on the body, and the dial on the grip feels good as well. the only thing that i'd complain about is the battery clip on the rightmost slot of the grip; it do …"  Read Full Review »

"I use the grip daily on my Canon 30D, although it obviously makes it a bit heavier, it is definitely easier to grip. The rubber quality is very good, somewhat close to the Canon 30D grip.

"Besides not being sealed like the Canon version, I can't really see the reason to pay full price for the Canon brand. It feels solid, functions well and is comfortable in my hand. Being able to shoot portrait without feeling awkward makes it so nice. "
