Canon BG-E20 Battery Grip for EOS 5D Mark IV, Black

Yes you pay a premium for the Canon branded kit but having bought alternatives previously this is definitely great quality. I guess it really depends on how often you use your kit and from experience of buying alternatives before only to upgrade at some point down the line you may as well take the plunge from the outset. Enjoy.

Very Happy With Canon Battery Grip, pricey but is what it is!

Expensive but worth it and improves handling especially with a heavy lens attached.

Although hugely overpriced for what is essentially elaborately moulded plastic, it is nicely designed to fit with the Canon 5DmkIV. The outside of the grip is really well built and internally they have updated how the battery cover sits inside.My only major gripe (especially for the price) is that the internal tray that the two batteries sit in is really cheap quality plastic (I actually laughed out laugh when I first saw it). I've used the grips for the mkII and mkIII, both had MUCH better quality battery trays. Don't get me wrong, it isn't the end of the world, but it's not really what you'd expect from a Canon battery grip - maybe alright for a third party Chinese knock-off, but not when you're charging nearly £300 for one.That said, I don't regret buying it, completes the camera (aesthetically) nicely and makes it SO much easier to hold over long periods of shooting.

I used to use a 1Dx which had a huge battery built in. With my 5D I always had to carry a spare battery. Now I can have two in the grip. The other thing I loved about my old camera was when you rotated the camera into portrait mode, the control used by your right thumb (move focus point etc.) were still in the same place as they were duplicated on the bottom right hand side of the camera. I really missed that (If you have not tried it please do it is a game changer for me)Well constructed as you would expect.

Perfect ...it's a snug fit and worked smoothly and efficiently....my only gripe would be that when you want to take the batteries out to recharge the panel switch and compartment do seem a bit fragile and you think they may snap if you were heavy handed ....and there where would you be if it broke ??

god product, good price, good service

Works perfectly as it's the canon genuine article. Because it's a Canon genuine accessory it is vastly overpriced.
