I critique the aftermarket in opposition to the OEM batteries and Battery Grip for the Canon 550D or T2i. Full side by facet photos at cheesycam.com

@AddictedToTrance123 how do u like it
I got mine on Amazon for $37 free shipping
If you use deet bug repelant when using these after market grips, expect them to melt in your hands. Mine did.
I got mine on ebay for $31 free shipping and i love it...
@rickgut2004 i got after market and it works perfectly and feels good. but, the grip is peeling off. no good im getting the canon one.
I bought my Canon BG-E8 for CAD $89 including shipping from Ebay.
You don't need two batteries to use the grip.
Can you use the aftermarket batterygrip with one LP-E8 battery inside?
I'd say buy an aftermarket grip to save money, and use genuine canon batteries
why a phottix battery grip is inside MEIKE battery grip box?
which is better?
are the batters ok if they do not say canon on the batter
Excellent review! I'm trying to decide OEM or After Market.. Thank you!
i have get one of this, it was working really fine until the screws holding the grip to the body of the cam went broken.
it givs a good feeling but its a a junk pease, but you get what you payed for. makes me sad anyway
so how is this grip holding up? and breakage?
you can run the 2ti with one battery too with this grip
hey when i remove my battery flap my camera pretty much doesn't work any ideas?
Hi does it come included with the 2 additional batteries? From the ebay page, it doesn't say that the 2 extra batteries are included.
@chefpetey yea same for T1I i was usein grip wit one battery
One battery works just fine my friend. The grip serves merely as an extension cord. The grip requires no added power. Two batteries double your productivity. It's nothing like a pro motor drive on a 35mm camera which needed power to advance film. My old Pentax took 10 AA's to advance 35mm film at 5fps. The fastest ever built and looked intimidating as hell. Nice vid but needs ONLY ONE battery.
Did anyone catch if the battery cartridges are interchangable?
Just messing with you nana2226. Good video. I think Im gonna buy it now.
i love the noises. lol
@Eagle1337 Yup, like the OEM
@xmeerzx it has all of the right buttons right? my 500D battery grip just left their warehouse.
