 dont know what to say about the description... July 31, 2010

i bought this because the description shows opteka battery grip and two battery for a total of 3600mAh BUT what i got is vivitar brand battery grip and two battery that are 1500mAh each for a total of only 3000mAh. it MAY have to do with which seller you're buying it from but i didnt get the decribed items exactly.

I don't have much experience with battery packs, but I've found this one easy to use and very reliable. I don't have to stop to consider battery strength during wedding shoots and that is a HUGE relief.
Decent for the Price, but... July 15, 2010

I have an Opteka grip for my XT and that item seems to be more robust than this new part. Opteka seems to be cutting costs in material. So far, it works fine, but my guess is the battery insert latch will break at some point sooner than my other one. Decent item for the price, but quality is a bit dissapointing. As always, fast shipping from Amazon.

So i have a canon eos rebel xs and i dont have enough money to upgrade to a better camera, but this just makes me look like a professional! I ordered it the Jul 8th, 2010 and it came the exact day that its said it should. I got the 2nd day air because im going to DC very soon and i needed it for that trip. It will prbably never come off my camera cuz i love it so much!! And if when i do upgrade i want the Canon T1i which is compatible with this grip sooo i so happy
! If your considering it and think its to cheap for good quality well its is very cheap in cost but the quality is exactly like the Canon brand battery grip but for 100$ less!!!! JUST FREAKING BUY IT!!!!!
Best Purchase Ever!! July 12, 2010

As the title states in my opinion as far as accessories go getting this battery grip was the best and smartest decision I have made!!! When I first purchased my T1i the number one problem and one of the only ones I could say would be the ergonomics. Since i had very large hands my grip was always uncomfortable. So to remedy that I bought this grip. And what I got in return is amazing feel and comfort while shooting and also easier laid out button scheme. The best thing however was the amazing battery life!! With the two batteries fully charged it seems like I can go on shooting forever with no worries on the battery bar going down one notch!! The build quality on the grip is also very superb and the only thing I could complain about is possibly the shutter button at times feels "loose" but it works perfect. So to end this review basically if you need a better grip, more weight to your dslr, or tons of battery life this grip is for you!!
