Excelent give me mire stabilitie whey a shoot handheld

Excelent

I've had this battery grip for a while now (for my DMC-GH3). With this, I can go all day without having to put in another battery. I mainly shoot video, but also photos. Works great in both cases.

I do have one complaint. The little rubber cover for the 18 pin connector comes off the camera very easily and even when it's in the storage compartment on the BGGH3, it can fall out without knowing. I lost mine because of that.

Otherwise, it's nice to have the extra battery time and the additional controls when turning the camera sideways.

I would highly recommend anyone with a DMC-GH3 to get this.

Battery Grip for GH3

This is a fine product and works very well for still photography. The tripod mount is off center and it can't be used when setting up a video rig.

I purchased the BG for the extra battery life during our production day. Great idea, bad execution.
1: 1/4-20 screw is off centered.
2: We cannot center the lens into the matt box.
3: The BG does not attach firmly enough to the camera body.
4: When we spin the follow focus wheel, the camera body moves up and away from the BG. This effect is seem in every shot we used the follow focus.
5: Problem solved. We got rid of the BG.

Don't buy for video follow focus

I have used the grip only once. It really made a big difference for me. I have longer fingers and it made holding the camera really comfortable. I'm use to shooting a heavy camera. Even though the GH3 isn't that heavy to me, this grip made things balance out quite well.

Nice fit

A must-have for the GH3 owner. But dig deep into your wallet, because battery-not-included. (Okay, I admit I planned to purchase a 2nd battery, anyway.) The added bulk does not bother me whatsoever, since the weight gain is negligible. Panasonic should consider building this accessory into their other models.  Would've loved this on my G2 and GF2.

Perfection addition to the GH3

Only little drawback is that the tripod screw mount if off-centered.

great

Love the GH3 and this just makes it better. The 2 batty combo had not drained a a shoot yet, barely got into the body battery. Adds nice feel to the cam.
