Completely transforms your EOS R camera

I've been a semi-professional photographer for many years and my cameras have always had battery grips or motorized winders. I appreciate the increased usability and functionality of these devices. I have big hands and have never liked a smaller camera. I like the heavier weight and the extra stability. I also like the ability to shoot vertically and keep a good grip, and all the controls are in the same familiar places. The camera actually "feels" professional, adding to the ease of use of the camera itself. Doubling the recording time before changing the battery is also a big plus. I've always used much cheaper "clones" in the $40-$60 range in my previous cameras and I have to admit that they were very reliable and had very good levels. Durability and fit and finish. However, the fit and finish is excellent and several years ahead of cheaper clones. It was very expensive but worth every penny. He's practically flawless. Coating and color match 100%. The feel is 100% matched to the grain of the rubber part, precisely matched to the grip material on the camera. The buttons are made of the same material and the fit is impeccable. It doesn't look like an add-on, instead appearing as part of the camera. Like I said, very transformational. Does it add volume to the camera, yes. Does it have advertising weight, yes. If you want your EOS R to be lightweight and portable, don't buy it. If you want to make it a much better professional working tool, I strongly recommend you buy it asap.

Pros
  • Sleek design for better handling
