Does it? Are you sure it doesn't just have 2.4GHz built in?It already has 5GHz built in. So just a port then?

This was a MASSIVE shock so I've held off pre-ordering the grip with my R5 until I can find out what extra features it offers!hope you are sitting down with a very strong drink for the price
grip £420
grip with wft £1350
This was a MASSIVE shock so I've held off pre-ordering the grip with my R5 until I can find out what extra features it offers!
£1350 for the WFT grip and no mention of it in the live coverage. What on earth does it offer for this cost other than a much welcome ethernet port.
I'm just as concerned who will support wireless image transfer as much as the speed. Will Capture One allow me to tether over ethernet or WFi rather than USB cable?More and better 5GHz: 2x2 MIMO. Not sure if that's worth the price difference. 300 for the regular grip is already eyebrow raising for me.

It looks like it has 5GHz built in, but that is limited range, the grip probably adds 2.4GHz for better range and a port...It already has 5GHz built in. So just a port then?
Clearly it is actually a WTF!!! grip, not a WFT grip.
Anyone who tells me to get a grip is going to have to buy it for me.
Indeed, the "WTF! " grip is much more appealing to me but no grip warrants or is worth £1124 + VAT.I very much would prefer the "WTF" grip, but certainly NOT at this premium.
Indeed. Ethernet cards for PCs are 10€, WiFi cards are 10€, so the price difference between the BG and "WTF" - grips should be lower than 1000€ - oh, wait - it is!

Indeed that is confirmed. https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/prod..._r10a_wireless_file_transmitter.html/overview
Wireless support has been upgraded over the base camera with 802.11ac/c 2x2 MIMO Technology to achieve transfer speeds of up to 867 Mb/s. Also, standard 802.11b/g/n at 2.4 GHz and 802.11ac/a/n at 5 GHz are options for compatibility with different networks.
Also FTP capability.
It looks like it is only compatible with the R5 not the R6 as the standard grip is. But yes it looks like the 2x2 MIMO and ethernet port and the ability to FTP to anywhere are the main features.I think the body had 2.4GHz too, but they probably have more space (and less metal/shielding) in the grip to make better antennas for better coverage for both 2.4GHz and 5GHz bands. Adding the 2x2 MIMO help get more throughput. 867 claim sounds like they support up to mcs9 on 80MHz bw. I would guess the body has same chipset with 1x1 setup (and weaker antenna), so it'd be 433Mbps and less range.
I saw the Battery back of the new LP-E6NH, 2130 mAH.Was curious so I looked up my 20D's BP-511A battery; Roughly the same form factor and only a capacity of 1390mAh. Capacities have been slowly but steadily rising over the last ~15 years despite similar sizes. Seems like they could engineer in another 20% bump.
Got my Canon BG-R10 battery grip for my EOS R5 today. I was surprised how heavy the setup is with the 24-70mm F2.8 and battery grip w/2 batteries! Well, I guess I needed the exercise.
