A stroke of luck in the truest sense of the word.

This handle is perfect in my opinion. It fits perfectly, is extremely high quality finish and self-explanatory. The possibility of two batteries or six (a bit much, but okay) to use batteries, I find great. Very well thought out, very useful - and above all much cheaper than the original Canon-handle, to my knowledge, without disadvantages.

An important note regarding the review of my predecessor yet.:

>

For me the focus worked button pressed halfway, not any more than the dial. Therefore, I wanted to return it, but called ahead the current seller My Photo Berlin (Tel 03,061,671,310.) And 30 minutes later the called me with the solution back to:

Just once all the pins completely push down (the little golden "spikes") up again, re-tighten the grip and then it should work. For me that was the case - now everything goes full! FYI: I use it in the 450D.

A strong buy recommendation, everyone should have 1000D- or 450D owners.

A note at this position: Please note that the camera with the handle no longer / purely fits perfectly easily into any pocket. The handle is really a block. This may be a disadvantage, but can be unscrewed (which I do not want to) at any time.
