|| SportsShooter.com: Member Message Board Is anyone using generic 5dMK2 battery grips? Adam Brimer, Photographer, Assistant Knoxville | TN | USA | Posted: 5:35 PM on 03.01.10 ->> Vivitar and Zeikos make versions that are inexpensive compared to the Canon grip. Does anyone use them and if so, what are your thoughts? peace. adam  This post is:  Informative (0) | Funny (0) | Huh?

As a side note they are running two OEM batteries in the grip.  This post is:  Informative (0) | Funny (0) | Huh?

Can't tell the difference between them. It's great at 1/3 the price I wish I had bought two of the Zeikos instead 1 + 1. jack  This post is:  Informative (0) | Funny (0) | Huh?

I guess my rationale was I'd at least heard of Vivitar before, but I'm glad to hear that people are happy with the Zeikos. Either way you go, I think you'll be in good shape and I'm sure you can find something else to spend the extra $140 on.  This post is:  Informative (0) | Funny (0) | Huh?
