Anyone ever used these ?

Just looking for a battery grip for my spare body (Canon 20d).

Has anyone ever had any experience of using these ?

I personally am not bothered about not having another dial as I always use the main one on the camera body anyway.

Just wondered what the build quality and feel were like. For £20, I might give it a go.

Your thoughts / experiences please.

Cheers

Worth a pop at that price.

£20? I'm tempted myself for that. If you get one could you let us all know if it is any good?

Thanks.

Just ordered one - will report back, but it'll be in a few weeks time ....

WATCH THIS SPACE!

Update.

Bought one - delivery was excellent as you'd expect from Amazon - 2 days.

The grip itself is really good. Feels slightly heavier than the Ansmann one it was replacing. Comfortable grip. Instructions are written in broken English, but are clear enough. Comes complete with battery tray and also the infra red remote. The remote feels slightly plasticy - but works well enough and for £20 for grip and remote I feel it's a good deal.

So good in fact, I've just ordered another one!

Cheers
