This grip on my Canon R8, it fits perfectly. It makes this small camera feels great in my large hands. I‘m a big fan of the Arca style plate, very convenient. The only issue I’m struggling with is changing the battery and SD card. The opening is a little snug for my fingers.

Bought this thinking it wouldn’t last but I’ve been pleasantly surprised. It’s held on well on my photoshoots and because of the price I’d say I’m getting a great product!

Metal, but not heavy. Extends grip so pinky can help, much more secure handling with heavy lenses. Makes a world of difference to big hands. Grip material matches camera grip perfectly. Can still access both the battery *and* the SD card without removing this plate. Has both 1/4 and 3/8 threads. 1/4 threads are nearer the front of the base, which improves balance noticeably on tripods. I couldn't be more satisfied.

The ergonomics of this battery grip are solid and it works perfectly with my EOS R, but it's permanently sticky, and the stickiness ends up rubbing off on my fingers every time I use the camera. I have to wash it off afterwards.I don't understand what material this manufacturer made the grip with, but I literally cannot remove the stickiness of the grip material. I've tried rubbing it over and over again with wet towels to make it less sticky, but it doesn't seem to do anything.It's really weird. A bit gross, too. Maybe I received a defective unit, I'm not sure. But this the only extended grip I've ever owned like this, and I don't like it.I'd give it one star, but the grip does function perfectly, otherwise, the ergonomics are solid, and it is inexpensive, so... ¯_(ツ)_/¯Two stars it is.If I were you, I'd probably buy a different brand.

I bought this battery grip 4 months ago. I use my camera for wildlife photography. This battery grip doesn't tolerate bumps, vibrations, or hiking with it for hours on end. I've missed many great shots because the camera being dead. It seems to have 2 separate connection issues. It loses connection at the power contacts, and at the serial data connector. It's a shame, it's a great battery grip when it is working properly. I really like having the USB-C port for charging, it's the same as my cell phone. Plus it has a place to hold the factory battery door and serial port cover made into the grip. That was nice because several times I had to snap the door back on so I could still use the camera with one battery. I hope everyone else has better luck with this product

This is a great deal. The grip fits nicely and looks good on the camera. This thing does everything the Canon grip does at a fraction of the cost.The color matches pretty much perfectly, and the rubber parts are nice and grippy.One thing I noticed is that the plastic is pretty rough. It's almost like a light sand paper feeling, but you're really not touching those parts of it when using the grip so it's mostly a non issue.Can't speak for longevity as I just got it today, but I will update if I notice any issues that come up.I definitely recommend this for anyone looking for a grip for their R but don't want to pay $2-300 for the Canon one.EDIT: In case you didn't read the instruction manual like me, there's a place on the false battery pillar that you can store the battery door and the connection cap, so you don't have to worry about losing them!

As far as I can tell, this is 100% reverse engineered, with the addition of (1) wireless remote trigger and (2) it'll charge any 3rd party battery. I'm not sure it's coming off my camera. I've had it for a month and it's been solid. So, for me, it's an innovative improvement on the OEM for less money.

I’ve used many grips and a million different cameras. The thing that I liked most was that it provided the Arca Swiss plate built into the grip which means I’m not having to add a plate the the bottom of the grip.It makes life so easy I know it’s there if I need it but most of the time I don’t need it and don’t have to worry about bringing the extra plate or having to fee the plate when trying to hold the camera. Hopefully they have a new version in the works for the new R5 and R6 scheduled for releases later this year.
