Qns on BG-E1 Battery Grip

plinius · 18th February 2004

hi all,

got some qns on the battery grip...the grip is mounted at the bottom of the camera, thus blocking the thread for the tripod head, does the grip has a tripod head mount too?

the grip takes 2 batteries...must the 2 batt be of the same brand and power rating?

thanks in advance

Yes it has a tripod mount screw thread at the grip as well.

I've used the Eastgear/Canon combo without a problem. Grip can also take single battery on the right-hand side chamber.

just a follow-up on the BG-E1, for any future Canon release of DSLR, it would be logical that Canon would use BG-E1 as the battery grip too right, like the previous grip which could be used for D30/D60 & 10D.

sound logical????????
