Hi, anyone have a review for this third party battery grip for the Canon 7D?
Big savings on the canon one plus extra functions.
would like to know how it fits the camera build & feel etc?

Hi M.
I haven’t seen any reviews for this, but it is certainly a good price. I have used 3rd party grips before without any problems, but I would be concerned that, as it’s a 3rd party grip,if it did damage the camera in some way, would your warranty cover the damage?
It could be a costly repair, especially as the camera wasn’t cheap to begin with. It might be worth taking a chance though.
