I ordered mine few hours ago, then I'll see. The vendor told me it's a new model which doesn't have the battery drain issue.
I'll test later the official grip to see the real difference, and when I'll have some extra cash, I may buy one

And thenk you for your comment Helpful. I have the official Canon grip on my 7D

Thank you for your feedback!

I wasn't aware of the battery drain issue... I'll go with it and I'll contact the seller first to know if it's the new model or the old one.

Thanks again!

EOS Bodies / BG-E11 alternatives: which one?

« on: August 18, 2012, 07:15:40 PM »

Hi,

I'm currently looking for a grip for my 5DIII. Unfortunately, I'm limited in budget for the next months and then, I'm looking for the alternatives. My 7D have a Canon grip and I'm really happy with it, but after reading several user reviews of "non official" grip, I think I can go with it for now.

The first model announced was the Pixel Vartex (some discussions are on this forum) for $78-85

I also discovered that Phottix have one.

I saw some other models, cheaper, but they doesn't look like the official one, and I prefer buying a non offcial grip which is better of course...

Then do you already own one? Do you have some advise (except buying the official one)?
Thanks!

Razor: then after few days, how is your feedback? how is the grip material, the surface aspect, how the buttons and joystick are responding?
My 5DIII is on its way for my home, then I'll be glad to know before ordering one!

Then, that's not a surprise :p
Thank you for the answer. I'm tight on budget, then i'll wait a little bit to buy the grip...

I'm curious to know the differences between the 7D grip and the 5DmkIII one as the body seems to be very close. I'm almost sure it's not compatible by few minor plastic addons or slightly changes of design...
