Top Rated Gear: Flashpoint Battery Grip for Canon 5D Mark III, 5DS and 5DSR Accessory Type: Battery Grips, Compatibility: Canon 5D Mark II & Mark III, Canon EOS

I would very much recommend this product. For the price and what you are paying for it works very well. The ergonomics flow very well with the camera itself and the design is just immaculate. Adorama is also a great place to make purchases through as you will get the product quickly and in a professional matter.

Great investment

Product is exactly what i needed for long photo shoots in the field! Live it!

Great product and Value

Very impressed.

I loved this! It works very well, and it fulfilled my needs. Although I forgot to buy extra batteries this product still worked great! Well worth the money. 

Highly recommended (DONT FORGET TO BUY EXTRA BATTERIES)

It is only ($) so I took a chance.  The canon grips I have work perfectly all the time but the price they charge is highway robbery.  

I used this grip for a month and it works most of the time but from time to time it prevents the camera from changing shutter speed or f stop depending on what mode you are shooting in. 

I really shouldn't be too hard to make one of these. 
Oh well,

Suckered by the low price

Great price

Style is slightly different than the Canon version, but it is a good fit and functions well. Worth the price. 
I find it difficult to remove the batteries for recharging. They have to be pried out of their position unlike the Canon version grip.
For long or all-day shooting,  I'd like to see additional battery holder inserts available for purchase. 
BTW- the battery holder inserts, though similar in appearance, are NOT interchangeable between brands of grips, namely between the Flashpoint grip and the Green Extreme Grip. 
This was a disappointment and the cause I gave only 3 stars.

Flashpoint battery grip

This product helps when shooting  wildlife in the vertical position.  It works well and eliminates awkward shooting positions when triggering the camera.

vERTICAL PICS ARE EASIER

Amazing deal for ($) (price I paid at the time). Works great except for two things. The dial that attaches the grip to the body seems flimsy (compared to the Vello equivalent). The major problem that I am having is that it seems to disable the dial by the shutter button sometimes. I have to use the dial on the battery grip to get my dial on my camera to work again. It can be very frustrating when you are in the middle of a shoot and I can't immediately change the focus location on the camera when needed. Other than that, it's a pretty nice and well made grip.

Great for the price with some problems.

I just bought this product
After 2 days it stop working

not working after 2 days

was a bit worried that it would not be as good as the Canon.  so far no problems.  i have the Canon brand for another camera body and it's hard to tell the difference

flashpoint bargain

Fits well, all the controls are easy to use.  Live view & video really  use up batteries, this is a great, affordable solution.

Great item

The grip is sturdy, well designed and is easy to hold in both vertical and horizontal positions.

Flashpoint Canon 6D Battery Grip

Bought this for my father for Christmas. Hasn't had a lot of use yet, but so far so good.

Positive

Bought this grip for my Canon 7D Mark II to help with stabilization and also battery life as the 7D is a bit hard on batteries.

Fit is great, and quality is high.  The Canon grip may be a bit better quality of build, but for my use and not wanting to pay multiple times more, this works as needed.

Well pleased with the decision to buy.

Budget Priced, Great Quality

I had been wanting to try a battery grip for a number of years as I find myself shooting portrait orientation more than I used to.  But I was not ready to pay the price for other brands that got mediocre reviews and risk being disappointed, and I was wary of buying the brand name grip in the event that I hated having the grip on the bottom of my camera.  The Flashpoint grip was the right price point to give it a try.

I have not used this grip a huge amount yet, but so far I find that I really like having it on my camera.  It definitely added to the size and weight of the camera, and it took a little time to get used to.  The length of the grip in the palm is greater than the camera is in landscaper orientation without the grip, and that takes a little getting used to.  If you have small hands that might be a bit of an issue.  If you are a manual shooter and used to changing settings on the fly with the top and back wheels, this will require a little bit of retraining of the fingers and thumb as the relative position of the wheels is changed a bit.  Again, small hands may find it difficult to reach all the controls if you are used to making adjustments without having your eye leave the viewfinder.  The relative position of the viewfinder is also somehow different too as it seems lower and farther away from your (right) hand then without the grip.  Again, not a big deal as it just requires a little bit of muscle memory retraining.

The convenience of having the controls available when in portrait orientation is well worth it!  If you shoot portrait a lot and are not using a grip, I definitely recommend just going for it and getting one of these.  The price is right for a product that fits quite nicely and so far seems very solid.

One note: unless I missed something, the instructions included with the grip to remove the battery door from the camera are a bit incomplete.  The written instructions and picture suggest that all you have to do is hold the battery door at a 35 degree angle and simply pull it off the camera body.  It turns out there is a little sliding lock on the underside of the door that must be used (a fingernail works fine) to disengage the pins that hold the door.  Quite easy, but wasn't intuitive for me until I looked it up.

A great price for more functionality!

not as heavy as cannon, but feels a little frail not for pro use as say
a wedding. it does work good, i am happy.

tried and works.

fits my T2i bodies; seems to function as advertised, so  far ...
appears well constructed for fit/finish; we'll see ...

Green Extreme battery grip is an extreme bargain compared to what you pay for brand products.
Had one for my 60d and shoot thousands of pictures a year until camera died on me but grip continued to function. Would hesitate to buy this product again.

exceptional bargain

Worth it for price range and easy  handle.

Good

Love the amount of time one can shoot using this and it feels great in your hand. The camera is much more stable and solid. Have recommended it to everyone I know that shoots.

Figured for the price it was worth a try. Can't say anything bad about the grip. Everything works as it should. Had another off brand grip that I purchased for a Canon 7D 3 years ago. That had the bad habit of coming loose from the camera and cutting the power off to the camera. So far this grip stays firmly attached.

Value, Value, Value

This is my second Flashpoint battery grip, the first one I got for my EOS 60D, this one for my 7D mk II. I wouldn't have a dslr without one! They are so comfortable and convenient and they don't hurt your wallet! I plan on getting an EOS 5D mkIII in the future and it will have one too! Thanks Adorama!

Love this battery grip!

I own a Canon Battery Grip for my 6D and a Flashpoint Battery Grip for 7DmkII.  I've only used the Flashpoint Battery Grip once, and that was last Week for a Wedding Shoot. The Flashpoint does not feel quite as good as The Canon, but for such a significantly lower price, you shouldn't expect it to. It worked fine, it just took a bit of getting used to compared to The Canon. The difference was the feeling of how the Shutter Adjustment Wheel felt. It's no big deal. It didn't have quite the "Feel" the Canon Grip does, but there again, it's no big deal. As expensive as Camera Gear can be, I thought I'd give this a try being that it's nearly 1/3 the price of The Canon.  I'm not sorry I purchased it. I also own a Flashpoint Rove 600-RLB that I couldn't be more happy with. I bring that up because it's instilled confidence in The Flashpoint Brand.

Good for the Price

Decided to give this unit a try and the ridiculously reasonable price.  It functions just as the true Canon grip does, in that you carry 2 batteries and gain a vertical grip.  The side tray entry is taking some time to get used to, and you don't get the battery info.

Functionally an agreeable replacement - and great for the price

Ordered this because it was advertised for the Canon 80D, however thr box I revieved was labeled to work with 70D. Although it does power the camera, the battery level will not display. I contacted customer service and was told they would investigate and get back to me in a couple days, but it's been over a week and nothing yet. I have found out this is a problem in general with the 80D and 3rd party grips, but it shouldn't be listed to work with a certain model whrn it doesn't fully function. Very frustrated!

Not as advertised

All the bells and whistles with great quality

Great

I have used Vello battery grips for years.  It was time to replace, but since I purchased a new camera, I just added the flashpoint battery grip to the purchase. It just feels a tad cheap in the plastic. It does the job.  The biggest thing that I don't care for, is when you tighten the grip, it doesn't stay tight. I'm always tightening it as the day goes on.  It doesn't totally loosen, it's just not a snug fit. That's my only complaint, if you want to call it that.

Battery Grip

Bought this as part of a package with Canon 80D; the camera can't recognize Canon OEM batteries when used with the grip. I can still force the camera to accept the batteries but in non-OEM mode only - no control/information about batteries' status

Poor quality, batteries not recognized

The color and texture matches a lot more closely than other non-Canon battery grips.  Some essential functions are available on the grip, but they didn't try to pack too many extra buttons.  Though I probably won't have a need for it, it's good to have the AA Battery insert as well.  It would come in handy when you have no other way to charge your camera.
