I bought the BG-E2N for my 50D and I love it. I also wanted a grip on my 5D2. I stare at the markets about 1 / 3 the price (5D2) and 1 / 2 price (50D), but the idea of “getting what they consider” payment hanging over my head every time I think about it. I have taken the step and handles both real. ) Well, $ 162 to grip the 50D ($ 65 Linkdelight generic) $ 262 for the 5D2 mango ($ 82 Linkdelight generics. The only difference between 2 Canon grips are: 5D2 AF button, and you have $ 100 +. I wanted the generic grab some $ $ $ as it is to keep a hobby, but did not want $ $ $ to waste from scrap. My opinion on this grip (BG-E6): major rip-off. They are already 2 months I had this driver, and still can not find the “real” battery (included)-rising prices. Otherwise, it is an excellent and makes the camera feel “full” and heavier. I’ve read some reports of generic drugs, but not too much of the time information was in vain. I hope someone out there has overall comparison and the real part is actually a side-by-. I give only 3 stars because of the $ 100 + for grip Canon 50D and restraint in the use of more batteries.

This is not necessarily an obligation, but if you throw too much and not want to replace the batteries too often, it is best to get this expansion slot. I have the Canon EOS 5D and was disappointed that the batteries still work the handle of the new 5D Mark II. Es) for holding the camera in the ideal high-side (since it is an additional trigger and rotating wheel This is a good buy if you feel you need. I took away 1 star because it’s too expensive and also need an extra battery , which is also expensive, as Canon does not like to buy to maintain compatibility with older models. Rating: 4 / 5

Listen, this is strong. It is made of material of Star But he has a real position Probleme.An first is the ergonomics of the Sache.Die size is a problem. The device is much thicker (front to rear camera) that the built-in handle on the 5DII (the built-in handle) is very comfortable to wear. I am six feet tall, have big hands, and I was always too thick to understand the unity that is so comfortable as the normal d5II handle. Sounds like a small thing, but it is really very irritating. In addition, the button layout bothers me a little. There is no ISO button to make changes during the shooting in the portrait with the handle, so if you want change you have to move fast to change the handle of the camera in order to manage twice. If you use the multi-controller (joystick), please use the call to change the priorities, not the default value, is unlucky in this regard. While changing the settings and get used to a new way of functioning of the AF or choose change grip to a new center of gravity. Above all, openness to change is not as easy to choose, given the location of the most important, if the dust vertical Griff.Zweitens questionable / closing time. I have some photos scalp sites, and I’m not sold that this driver would keep dust and dirt from the battery of my, or (very expensive) batteries. I’ll get the gaps in the case of electrical tape, if Kopf.Drittens published in the desert later use. This is less a design oversight is to prepare a simple truth of the matter: when switching between horizontal and vertical control of entanglement, obstinate in the neck strap, and Harry Houdini has to be comfortable before new channel. These deficiencies usually give me the product of three stars. Finally, it is not broke on me, but it seems that it will. Due to the exorbitant prices charged for Canon decided to give this product two stars. I expect a lot more attention to a product in this price range setzen.Ich’m not saying that nobody should buy it – all of your camera is charged differently. But, really, really: RENT on an absolute, or at least before buying HANDLE. Rating: 2 / 5

People have described the handle in other reviews, so I will be brief. I think this debate is a must for people with big hands – gives much better control of the camera, especially in the implementation of its Seite.Vorteile: very solidly built, and handles better than I do for my 20D (same for 30D, 40D) is designed. Would you feel safe, they mount on a tripod, as opposed to plastic versions. It’s more like an integral part of Kamera.Cons: Heavy: This and L-lenses, are a fairly important piece of carry heavy equipment. Secondly, there is no time stamp to open the battery compartment. That was a surprise to me in a chamber that less time should be sealed easily. Finally, it is quite expensive, but we’re used to from Canon. Rating: 4 / 5

If you are a professional, you need this grip. Remember the old Canon F-1)-wheels, this large handle with a vertical shutter release button (along with other controls to manage so as to ensure the 5D Mark II with a strong 70-200 f / 2 8 or 300 mm f / 2 8 Furthermore Objektiv.Darüber, add a second battery slot (if you can find the damn LP-E6 batteries!) OR you have the option of shooting with six AA batteries in case of emergency. The 5D MK II has a cool battery info display that lets you track the various fees and a trigger of the LP-E6-Batterien.Die BG-E6 battery grip is surprisingly solid and well done. The original battery door once fixed in Inside the case, if you want. The handle makes the 5D MKII much more difficult, and spoke with an antenna, the photographer was not happy with the extra weight. I like it though, and recommend it to anyone serious Fotografen.Bewertung: 5 / 5
