Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I recently purchased a Canon 7D, and since I've always had my DSLRs gripped, was in the market for a BG-E7 equivalent.
I've read great reviews about the Zeikos grip, but one thing that enticed me about this particular product (which was barely noticeable from the photos) was the rubber on all sides. Having used both 3rd-party and Canon OEM grips in the past, I've come to appreciate the feel from rubberized grips.
This grip came in the mail today, and although it feels cheap and plasticky (don't know how well it'll hold up in the field), the design is very nice (looks like a BG-E7 replica) and the rubber is softer than that on the 7D. Some of the buttons are a little loose which doesn't seem like it'll be a huge issue.
For the price, this is an absolute steal, and if it does break down, I would consider purchasing another.
*edit*
I may have spoken too soon.
The grip appears to only display power from one port and doubles it (ex. It shows both batteries are at 47%), which gives a very inaccurate reading. Also, the wheel on the grip turns opposite of the dslr making on the fly adjustments when switching between landscape and portrait orientation very difficult. I'm hoping this is a dud and can get it replaced with something that works correctly.
