When unpacking, I realized that this is a very high quality product. The
Plastic is just like that of my 600D, and the rubber coating is the same. The installation went
slight of hand, it all came together without a gap. Then I have my camera with BG the first
appraised times ... I thought first of all: My goodness, that's something completely different "is for me.
Camera is no longer the same, since I use the battery grip. She is now a lot better
in his hand, and also people with larger hands will now really delight in the camera
find. The increase in weight is not negligible, but it can also be advantageous if
one uses a heavy lens. Then it acts as a kind of counterweight, and balances the
Heaviness very good. With the kit lens you can still stand the camera normally.
With heavier lenses as with my 15-85mm which is no longer possible. I put
Now the lens tilted from.
The BG can be operated with one or with two batteries LP-E8. An internal
Electronics even allows to use batteries with different charge status. Thus, one can
also use different batteries together without being a deep discharge, resulting in the destruction
the battery cell would result. The possible service life has doubled in me, and the
Possibility simply hineinzustecken a fresh battery at a half-empty battery makes
Using 'also very comfortable, you do not pay attention to the same charging levels etc..
I find very interesting when I travel the opportunity simply magazine supplement
To use cells for 6 Mignon, if make all batteries limp. The Mignon (AA) can be
just about anywhere on earth to buy.
After some time I have then you removed it again. But not for long: P ... One notices
namely only in direct comparison what we have in him. Without BG I could see the small "
Body no longer hold my right hand with all fingers. The bottom two were now
bent under the camera. And the heavy lens now taking its toll.
So this battery grip is nothing if you also want to use without the camera again,
because with all due respect, we think it holds a toy in his hand. : P Also note remains,
that, unfortunately, only very very few bags are suitable for camera with BG. Sure, the big
Bags cause any problems, but the small mobile and compact.
I can make this battery grip recommend to every man his Canon EOS 600D or 550D
wishes to emphasize. Once you have only him off, do not want to miss one him.
I hope this review helps you in your decision. I would be very happy
if you would mark this review as helpful.
