5DMkII battery grip clones

[RAF62]

I would like to fit a battery grip to my 5DMkII but was wondering if any cheaper non-Canon
variants were available on the market and of what quality.
I know 'Ansmann' do models for various cameras but havn't seen one for the 5.

Re: 5DMkII battery grip clones

I have one bought for £35 on ebay. Pretty much identical to the canon one. Only odd thing is that the dial next to the shutter button tuns the shutter speed/aperture value the opposite way from the camera. Not major but when working quickly it's easy to go the wrong way!

Works well though and I did raise it with the guy on ebay and he refunded my money so got it for £0!!! I could buy another but not worth it just yet! I'd say get one as they are aq lot cheaper and build quality as far as I can see is the same. I also have an original on the 40D and an identical one on the 20D that cost about £30 (sold now) but there was no difference in use at all!!

Well worth the low price.
