Scope of supply:
2x Battery Packs
1x Remote Control with battery
1x battery shell (6xAAA batteries) for the handle
1x battery shell for battery packs (2p)
1x grip for EOS 500D / battery in the camera is omitted and will be extended to 2 batteries.
1x User Manual (was very well translated and is imaged (foolproof))
The handle extends the camera from 1 to 2 battery packs or optional 6 AAA batteries (depending on the charger is plugged into the handle, is also equipped with a module that can be purchased zustätzlich designed for continuous operation via AC adapter, so also good for studio photography) and an IR remote control for the self-timer function (very useful for taking pictures with a tripod for family photos, etc.). The handle is in my opinion not quite as good in your hands, as the built-in camera (there is probably also my small hands, but that's matter of habit). The fit of the battery grip to the camera is very good and the controls on the handle can be prima screw or use, the pressure points of the buttons are found on the original camera. Very handy, I find that it easily with a screw top can pick from the battery insert the batteries. The trigger function via remote control works perfectly.
When the battery is 1080mAh lithium ion batteries with 7.4 volts of company Minadax. From the values ago they are identical with the original Eos batteries, whether they are of the performance just as I can not judge unfortunately. When charging the batteries are lukewarm.
Conclusion:
The handle, as well as the accessories are similar to the originals. The price and performance, as well as fast shipping also speak for themselves. That, some a bit upset about the smell of rubber, I can not understand the original EOS handle smells otherwise. This review was made by me voluntarily.
