User Reviews
The product arrived extremely quickly. I live in NJ so it was just a few days and they shipped same day. The color and texture is almost a perfect match. It adds balance to the small T2I body. Fits perfectly. I haven't tried to mount it to a tripod but it tightens down to the camera body nicely. All buttons function correctly. The original battery door off the camera body fits in the grip just like the original version. Both the third party batteries and original Canon fit and work well. You can even use just one battery or 6 AAs in a pinch. I am very pleased with it for the price. If I had to find a fault it would be the battery trays, they seem to be rather cheaply made and I wonder how long the locking mechanism will last. If it breaks... at this price I'll buy another!! -- Battery Grip for T2I
Product was exactly as described and has worked great. I forgot to order a battery charger for the batteries, but they charged up just fine using my Cannon battery charger. -- BG-E8 Battery Pack and Batteries
