30D Grip

[lawrenceots]

After the disappointment of my new Jessops flash, I was very pleased with the grip that arrived today from China.http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI....93489&ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT#ht_3233wt_1167 Yes, its a bit plasticy but hey, it makes my 30D MUCH nicer to use! A quick question...does anyone know if it is supposed to sit flush with the camera body? Mine doesn't there is a minor gap all the way round even when screwed in tightly. Just wondered if this is a minor drawback of using a thrd party grip or not.

tks

Hi sorry can't help you regarding the gap, but don't over tighten the grip, there are various threads on here with the grips getting stuck

Thanks, I once almost messed up a compact this way, always extra careful nowadays.

I think they were the genuine Canon grips (plastic gears), all the 3rd party grips I've heard of have metal gears

My BG-E2 fits pretty snugly ... no obvious between the body and the grip. Personally never had any problems with it getting stuck, but then I don't go crazy when I tighten it up.

There are plenty of images on Flickr of gripped 30D's for you to compare with:
