Louis S : HI IM LOOKING FOR Flashpoint Battery Grip For CANON 7D MK II IS THERE ONE OR ONE COMING SOON OR IS THERE ONE I CAN BUY NOW ?????
Shopper : Why Did You Choose This?RONALD L : To extend my shooting timeJames H : I've used aftermarket before and although they worked for a period of time, the build quality and reliability of Canon products is 2nd to none. If you depend on your equipment, then your equipment should be dependable.Harold B : needed a battery grip for new cameraROBERT S : I'm spoiled. I like to be able to hold my cameras in" portrait" position, yet shoot as if they were in "landscape" position. My primary interest is in wild life photography. I don't want to ever miss a shot, due to a dead battery or filling up a memory card. Hence, I equip each of my cameras with battery grips when I buy them. This permits me to shoot as I wish to in portrait position and doubles my available battery charges. (If possible I buy used ones to save money.)JIM K : Wanted the extra capacity of the second battery on my new 7D MkII, as well as the great way it fits the camera to my hand, particularly when taking vertical shots.THOMAS S : Extended shooting, and better balance with super telephoto lens.

WAY BETTER than KNOCKOFFS

FANTASTIC. You get what you pay for - magnesium construction, weather resistant. Knockoffs are PLASTIC, no sealing. Has NEVER failed me!

A must have!

This battery grip is a great addition. I don't run out of battery power and the camera handles power bursts easier.

Great Battery Grip

I have used a cheap battery grip before and it worked great until it didn't work at all. I will pay extra for a Canon battery grip if/when I ever need another one.

Loving this grip!!!

I purchased an aftermarket battery grip that quit working the second time I used it so decided to bite the bullet and purchase the Canon brand. I gotta tell you, I am so happy with it! It works great and is built of high quality materials. It’s a little heavier the the cheap one, but it’s so worth the extra weight to have a high quality grip. I definitely recommend this grip.

the best

I have purchased third party battery grips in the past, and they work just fine. After having the Canon battery grip for a few weeks I now know that there is no comparison. The Canon build quality is far more superior. The controls work with ease. If your looking for perfection, then I recommend spending the extra money for this product. You will not be disappointed. This battery grip is the perfect match for my Canon 7d markii. Camera and battery grip are made of the same metal alloy. You will love this addition to your camera gear.

Essential accessory for serious photographers

This camera is bigger and heavier than my other Canon DSLR, and with large hands, the grip provides better control when shooting vertically, in addition to doubling battery power. At events where things happen quickly, I hand-carry the camera without a strap, so the grip gives me another point to hold onto, and helps balance the camera with a lower center of gravity. From an appearance standpoint, the 7D Mark II and grip combo looks like a close relative of Canon's flagship 1Dx.

It's the buttons not the battery

I may be old school, but I find myself calling this a "motor-drive" because I think of the clunky additions we used to put on just to wind film. This is entirely a different animal, of course. While it's called a battery grip, it's value really is as a vertical grip. The shutter, MFn, main dial, three function buttons, focus joystick, and focus area selection lever are all there. I don't understand the reviews that point out the joystick isn't perfectly matched to the location of the button on the body- when you rotate the camera to portrait orientation your thumb finds the joystick fast enough. The selection lever is a different type of button and I actually find it easier to use than the one on the main body because you don't need to grab it with a thumbnail. The best part about the battery grip is I don't have to move my baseball cap to make room for my right hand like I would if shooting in vertical without the grip. Lets think about what's really important; it's all about the team hat.

Does what it's supposed to do perfectly.

Don't waste your money on aftermarket junk. Works great with my 7D MKII.

Excellent accessory

Very well made. Now I can do photo and video for an entire football game of my grandsons without having to swap out the battery. Canon has improved the fit from last one I bought for my 50D. Love it.

Very satisfied with the product

The battery grip add great balance to the camera when using heavy L telephoto lenses and is a very welcome extended battery life to my 7D Mark II that consumes a lot of power. The grip also add a luxurious look to the camera. I am very satisfied with the product a

I purchased an after market battery grip for my 5DMKII several years after the original camera purchase

I purchased an after market battery grip for my 5DMKII several years after the original camera purchase. For my 7D MKII, I decided to buy the Canon battery grip at the time of camera purchase. Hands down, the Canon grip is superior in build quality and features. I feel better using Canon electrical accessories as I have ad numerous electrical issues with the 5DMKII and its after market grip.

Review of Canon Battery Grip BG-E16 Adorama Camera Apr. 11, 2015 I recently purchased the Canon BG-E16 Battery Grip from Adorama, after waiting for a release of a similar grip from Vello. I have a Vello BG-C4 grip on my Canon 7D & it has proven to be a great purchase particularly when you consider its much more reasonable price. The much higher cost of the Canon grip is why I only rated the new Canon BG-E16 at 4 stars, even though there had been a slight price reduction prior to my purchase. The form, fit & function of the grip is perfect, & the Canon grip has a slightly more finished feel & look to it, as it should for the difference in price. It too, also includes a holder for 6 AA batteries as a back-up for the 2 LP-E6N batteries. So far the life of these batteries has proven to be very good, even though some reports claim that the 7D MK-II uses a lot of juice. This grip uses a side loading door, rather than the rear loading feature of my earlier grip, both types work well even with just a single LP-E6N inserted. For me, the added weight of the grip & batteries is countered by the added battery life, & the convenience & utility of being able to hold the camera in a more comfortable manner while taking vertical photos. Just be forewarned that the grip for the earlier Canon 7D "is not" the same as the one needed for the Canon 7D MK-II as there is a slightly different tab on each. There may be other differences, but this seemingly unnecessary alteration also figured in to my reasoning for only a 4 star rating! As always, service & delivery from Adorama was excellent. Capt.
