Great holder and grip for camera. Works as expected.

A bit bulky, but functions great. Very handy when doing a portrait session.

When you spend the kind of money on a camera like the one this grip is for, don’t mess around. Just go with the original MFR gear. Trust me. Of course the price point is a bit higher than it should be, but it’s a small price to pay for a lil peace of mind. So far has been solid, does exactly what it should. Makes the camera a little heavy, but unless you’re shooting anything over a 300mm, it’s not that bad. Having the two batteries available DEFINATELY is a plus, I get really comfortable battery life. Recently did a wedding, couple thousand shots, still had useable power left over (original Canon LP-E6N batteries). Didn’t even have to go to the backups.

Works exactly how it was intended. Great for outdoor shots.

Great accessory for a DSLR. Very convenient for battery life and I love the portrait shutter button.

Like the extended battery life and being able to take more pictures. Additionally, like the buttons on the battery grip when taking vertical shots.

it’s a really great grip! it’s a little deeper than the older version i used to have. So you can wrap your fingers around it better and the rubberized texturing helps with grip as well.. I have big hands so having the extra grip space on a camera makes it comfortable to use- makes taking verticals much more comfortable. And who doesn’t like doubling battery capacity, though I’m not a fan of the slide out tray. All in all this is a must have!

i wanted a battery grip for my canon 7d mark ii but was hesitant to invest in the pricey canon model bg-e6 … after reading the ratings for the chinese knock offs , i decided to go ahead and spend the money not knowing if i actually really needed a battery grip …. well, after installing it i could not have been more pleased …. it works well and is a perfect addition to my camera ….now i won’t leave home without it ….

Having bought a new (to me) 7D Mk II, I needed a new battery grip. As I perused the various offerings, I settled on this Canon grip largely because I know it will always perform to Canon’s high standards. I knocked off one star because, oddly, I find that the focal point(s) change from what I want it to be. I’ve always turned off the multiple AF points and just use the center one so I’ll always know what the camera will focus on. In use, I see it’s now the upper left point or the far right point. It’s easy to change it back, but it’s the only camera and grip combo I’ve ever had that has this issue. And I attribute it to the battery grip, not the camera itself, since the button to change the AF is on the corner and likely to get bumped in use. Nevertheless, it’s a great grip and I certainly recommend it.

Add said grip and battery holder, but no accessories. I was expecting to see the AA battery plates though and it is part of the Canon boxed item. It would be nice to have “JUST IN CASE” on those extended trailer trips to the boondocks. However, I just installed the battery grip and it seems to work as advertised. I am used to the standard camera buttons and have not used the camera “auxiliary” buttons yet and will add more later on these when the grip is used..By the way,I just thought I would add a comment about the weight; according the the specs, the Grip weighs in at 1.2 lbs. and an additional battery weighs in at 1.2 ozs… so, the entire grip and one added Li battery, add less than a pound and a half to the camera. It is heavier, but so far it is not a deal breaker for me.
