Battery Grip For Canon EOS 350d / 400d Digital Rebel XT / XTI - The Opteka BGRXT

http://www.robnunnphoto.com/
Picked up the Opteka BGRXT battery grip for my Canon EOS 350d / DIgital Rebel XT a few days ago. (This grip also fits the 400d / Rebel XTi).

The grip takes two of the NB-2L batteries, or 6 AA's, depending on which battery insert you use.

It also adds controls for shooting in portrait orientation - a second shutter button, control wheel, exposure compensation button, AF point selector and exposure lock button.

The Opteka grip feels sturdy, well made, and it matches my 350d well.

If you shoot hand-held a lot, then a grip is a must. It makes the camera feel more substantial, giving you a stable platform from which to shoot.

Recommended!

Cheers, Rob.

I also have a 350d wouldn't mind getting one of these as the official one is a bit pricey. Where did you get this one from?

Good podcast as well by the way.

@ShaNeSS102 The battery grip has a rubber texture.

It's ridiculous that the 350D has a battery grip and Nikon's D5000, D5100 line doesn't have one. I'm a D7000 shooter but I am super impressed with how Canon treats its entry level users with features like this.

I'm considering a grip for the 500D
