- Well Worth the investment 40D!
Picked this up from Willoughby's through Amazon and was very pleased with price, packaging, and quick turnaround. Retail packaging and was in perfect condition.
I didn't know what I was missing in terms of "grip" on the camera until I put this on... wow what a difference for stabilization and free hand control! The additional weight with extra batteries is not noticeable to me. I also really enjoy the additional buttons on the corner for portrait, no more "over the top portrait grip" , it allows you to hold the camera in portrait as if it were the normal position.
The battery design which can allow for either 2 BP11As or using the tray for 6AA cells is well designed. the 6aa tray fits snug, nothing feels loose. Great back up if I actually shoot/drain my two BP11As. in spite of all the great designed features, I would have gotten this item for a simple, more practical reason. If I had a battery leakage, I would rather have it happen in the grip rather than my Canon 40D's body. Yes I know remove the batteries after use, but just as an additional insurance policy against unlikely events, that gives me additional comfort if I forget to take out batteries.
A word of caution about removing the battery cover on the 40D for installation.
As most guys do, I glanced at the instructions, took out the grip and expected a straight forward install, expecting there to be some easy latch release on the cameras attached battery cover. And I was wondering where I was going to store the cover once removed.
I went back and re-read them in detail before trying to remove it. you have to "carefully" pull the cover off exactly the way the instructions illustrate. And the cover stores in a special area on the grip that fits inside the cameras existing single battery holding area. So you will not have it loose in your bag, and can replace it on the spot if the grip needs to come off for any reason. I don't think I will be taking mine off anytime soon :) !
