550D and Battery Grip

[gfletcher]

Hi Guys

I have recently bought a s/h 550D which came with a Canon Battery Grip and 2 batteries.
Do you guys leave the battery grip in place all the time or only when you specifically need it ?

thanks

I always leave the grip on once fitted to camera.

Same here. Lives on the camera full time.

Three reasons to keep the battery grip in place:

• The extra battery capacity - shoot all day without concern.

• Better balance with the grip in place - though slightly heavier.

• It looks cool - by far the best reason.

I have been planning on getting myself a battery grip. For the reasons given above I am sold!
