LP-E6 Battery pack for 5d mk II

[KayJay]

Has anyone found any for less than £60? They seem to be pretty rare still.

 

[KayJay]

No one?

They seem to be £60 everywhere...

When I decided to proceed with my order with DigitalRev for the 5D II, I asked if they could throw an additional battery in as part of the deal, so let me have it for £50. Fortunately they sent two additional units in error for the price of one

Not sure whether they'll even get cheaper, if official batteries for the 400D, 40D etc. are anything to go by...

Have you tried Kerso?

 

[KayJay]

I'll take a look at the Kerso site. A few other popular sites don't even list them yet. I saw one place selling them for £160, although that looked like a mistake.

Cheers.

I'm after one of these cheapish too (well you know, as cheep as I can get it), I'm also after a remote switch (genuine Canon) for my 5d mkii, does anyone know which switch will work with it?

 

[markta]

RS-80N3 will work fine with it. This is also the one that works with 30/40/50D etc.
