My battery grip which I got with my recently purchased 5D is stuffed already, the thumb wheel gear that rotates the mounting screw is stripped, had a b@stard of a time getting it off my camera. Does anyone know where I. The UK I can source a replacement ? There's a place on EBay based in the US selling them, total cost about £18 delivered but 2-4 week delivery, I'd much rather buy local, and faster.
It's a **** poor design, a plastic gear on the thumb wheel driving a steel screw via a brass gear !
 
Look for Meike grip I've had a few and never had a problem, metal gears as well.
