 Good price, lousy performance November 21, 2008
I bought this product a couple weeks ago and at first it seemed fine, but then I noticed that when it was turned on, the control wheel becomes uni-directional. What I mean by this is no matter which way you turn the wheel, the control only scrolls in one direction. This is OK, but frustrating, for some things like ISO and white balance, but it makes the exposure compensation wheel useless. It only moves in the negative direction and once it reaches -2, it is stuck there and will not come back up. This is true whether using the control wheel on the camera or the one on the grip. I am hoping I can return it and if so, will spend the extra $$ to get a Canon grip.
 Great Product October 26, 2008
On long photo shoots it lasts and I don't have change batteries and it looks good too.
Defective product. Battery cartridge loses contact when camera rotated to the left. October 21, 2008

Upon receiving my Opteka grip today, the quality seemed fine and consistent with the build of my camera, which is the only reason it got two stars. I immediately installed it following the directions and it fit firmly and securely. After I inserted the battery tray cartridge, I started the unit up per the instructions. It seemed to be working flawlessly...until I tilted the camera to the left. There is a very small amount of play in the cartridge once it is closed, and the small amount of movement causes it to lose contact and therefore power. For the unit to properly work, I have to hold my hand up against the side of the cartridge to keep it from losing power. I've contacted the seller to determine if I just have a defective unit.
A battle horse October 10, 2008
That product brings you exactly what you need when you make money with your Canon. Works great with the Digital Rebel XTI Camera.
Awesome September 19, 2008
I read a lot of reviews before picking this cheaper battery grip for my Rebel XTI. I'm not a professional, but its works just fine, specially for vertical shots. The functions are as good as the ones on the camera. Nothing to complaint.
Price is also a plus.
