Chinese Alternative BG-E11 for 5D III not as bad
Mencho(22):
Today I received a review from the Ebay seller where I pre-ordered my grip for USD90 including shipping

Some paragraphs I found interesting:
--- Quote ---Hard to identify whether the grip is made of ABS Plastic or Magnesium Alloy.
The finish is identical to the Camera's finish and it feels fantastic in my "large" hands.
The wheel used to screw the grip into the camera bottom feels solid and securely screw in.It fits on the camera easily and looks like it belongs. It also makes the 5D III look and feel much more substantial.
All the buttons feel great, pretty similar to the camera body. Also the multi-controller button included on the grip works fine too, but to honest it's a little bit more sensitive to the touch than the camera one. You must get used to it.

They also uploaded some photos:

What Risk? Because it's chinese you think the product is dangerous? :o :o
Batteries and grip on my 7D, 5D II and 5D III are chinese.
LCD Protector is also Chinese.
In my opinion a grip is just that... a Grip. And if I found a reliable chinese option, they will have my 2 cents.

why the watermarks, can hardly see the images!! Don't they WANT people to view their products haha!
If I ever DID buy a 5d iii grip it would NOT be canon's, 350 is just outrageous.

Does anyone know where the factory canon grips and batteries are manufactured?

I think many people only buy stuff made by Canon. That's not because those items bad, because they feel bad not using Canon product. Everyone has their way to spend money.
I had 3rd party grip for my T2i and 7D; I also have Canon grip for my 5D2. For me, I don't see the different from 3rd party ones and the Canon one. If I have a 5D3, I will buy third party grip.
