i bought this when there weren't any knockoff battery grips. if i buy another 5d II in the future, i'm probably getting a plastic knockoff grip for my 2nd camera.
the way i shoot, i HAVE to have a battery grip. i don't mind turning my wrist, but the time it saves me later straightening out all of my pictures makes it well worth it. plus, who can't use the extra battery life?
other than that, everything works exactly how it's supposed to. the grip matches up perfectly with the 5d mk II's body and stays tight/looks great. every once in a while i'll set it on my lap and accidentally take a few pictures or accidentally hit the shutter button while reviewing pictures...but all user error.
i rated this a 4 because it's a little expensive. granted, i paid $300 for mine and now you can get them almost 20% cheaper than that. if you can't afford it or don't want to...read reviews, you'll see there are some very good 3rd party plastic grips for the 5d II and decide for yourself if it's worth the extra $160 or not.

it is effective, right size and full of features for when you hold the camera in 90 degree angle. you almost don't lose any immediate functionality. i love it
By Anderberg Michael (Stockholm, Sweden)
I'm primarily a wedding shooter and as such I lug around usually at least two camera bodies and various lenses on top of that; so one would think that adding extra weight wouldn't be the first thing that I'd prioritize? Yet, that is one of the primary reasons that I add the battery grip to at least one of my bodies. Why? The extra weight actually balances the camera better in your hands when you have one of the heavier lenses on, like the 70-200/2.8 IS wedding workhorse telephoto lens. Thus it's easier to take a photo that is crisp and sharp, even thought the net weight is actually more than without.
Of course the battery grip also adds the an extra set of the most essential buttons, conveniently located when you shoot vertical. And shooting vertically I do in probably easily 75% or more of all the shots in a day's work. But what about the extra battery and the added battery life? Yes, of course there is that, but for me personally that isn't one of the top two for getting this particular accessory. Having said that, of course it's convenient not to have to worry about swapping batteries as often as with out or having to shut down the camera to preserve power and risk missing an awesome shot.
The only drawback for me, is that although I've never had it come loose or anything like that, the actual mounting feels a bit flimsy for an accessory of this magnitude. Maybe I am biased as I'm used to shooting the 1D series and thus of course used to the battery grip being part of the camera body. Still I feel that it should feel more solid than it does now. One thing worth pointing out is that as you take off the original battery compartment door, it fits into a slot on the actual grip before the whole thing inserts into the camera, thus if you're in the field and for some reason decide that you want to take off the grip, the original door is right there ready to be re-fastened in its place.
All in all I'd easily recommend this accessory to anyone serious about their shooting, especially with telephoto lenses on.
By R. Sutton (Rio Vista, CA USA)
The unit is top quality. It's sturdy and well made. On the 5D it also really helps me handle the 28-300mm L series lens. Of course having 2 batteries also extents the time between recharging batteries.
By Ricardo Miller (Jamaica)
This is not necessarily a must have but if you are going to be doing alot of shooting and don't want to replace batteries too often then it is best to get this expansion slot. I own the original Canon EOS 5D and was disappointed that those batteries nor the grip would work on the new 5D Mark II. It is ideal for holding the camera in portrait (sideways) as it provides an extra shutter release and rotating wheel. This is a good buy if you think you need it. I removed 1 star because it is a little pricey and you will also need to buy an extra battery which is also pricey since Canon doesn't like to keep compatibility with older models.

I don't write many reviews, only on products that I think will truly help all. I have a Canon T1i, my first DSLR, and I was really bothered by the grip not being long enough like a Canon 50D. I was ready to return the camera and buy a 50D because of the feel, but wanted to try this first. I can honestly say that if you have the same issue as me, this grip should help with it. I no longer have grip issues with the camera when I attached this. I have a Canon 70-200mm F/2.8 Lens and its a heavy beast, and with this grip, it makes handheld shooting a lot easier.
Secondly...battery life! With the stock battery, I could take about 300 pictures and the battery needed charging. After I added this grip with the two Opteka batteries it came with, I haven't needed to charge the battery in about two weeks and have snapped about 600 photos so far, AND the battery meter still shows full. If you are going on vacation, this might be a good choice because you probably will never need to charge your batteries. Only thing it will add bulk to the camera.
The one thing I don't like about it....is the dial on the grip. You know the one that lets you adjust the settings. It doesn't seem well built to me. Its hard to turn sometimes, its kinda sunken into,...it gets sticky sometimes. Minor as I don't shoot portrait style a lot, but just thought I mention it.
By George Walton
It took weeks before the product was shiped. I called the store and the young man that answered the phone was out right rude. I will never use the store again. The batteries seems to hold a charge very well. The battery pack trim has begun to come off already. All other functions works to date.
By Phillip Ward (Petersburg, VA)
super long battery life with this thing. Opteka uses the same molds as the Canon grips, so form factor is indentical. Quality may be a little less than Canon, but considering you are paying half of what Canon charges, I can take the hit in quality. everything works great as it should. In addition to getting it a lot cheaper than the Canon brand, you also get two high capacity batteries.
By Bruno Freitas (Rio de Janeiro, Brazil)
I must say that I was a bit skeptical on choosing the Opteka one, compared to the original CANON Grip, since I already owned one (at my REBEL XT)..
After a little bit of review searches over the internet, a lot of people saying that it was basically the same thing, without the CANON brand...
I got the Opteka grip and I am really satisfied with it. Price is good and it comes with 2 good bateries with it.
Hard to beat...
My only comment would go to the finish of the product, the rubber grip is acctually not properly fitted to the grip (as per photos which I added up to this review), to which I had to use SUPER Glue Gel to get it fully bonded to the grip, only a minor detail thing that could be a drawback only to someone looking for 101% perfection, but, the CANON one which I own did not have this issue, which I believe is mainly because of the material used.
Sure, I must also say that the rubber on the grip is actually REAL RUBBER ! Therefore, gives you a GREAT GRIP! Even better then the CANON one, which mimics the Rubber grip with some plastic Rugged feel.
Overall... I say ! Give it a 10..
No need to purchase the Canon one and pay twice as much !
This will definatelly be a perfect match, as I do not see me using just the camera without the grip.
Oh! And another thing I must say is how the Camera + Grip are quite lighter than my previous Rebel XT Bundle.
Go for it.
By Bill W. (Washington, D.C.)
This product is a no-brainer on a lot of fronts. Using on a Rebel XSI. Price is fantastic. Quality is high. Comes with two batteries that work in tandem to give you a huge power reserve over a single battery. And, if you are using a large and/or heavy lens like the Canon 70-200 2.8 IS it gives you a welcome extra part of the camera body to hold onto for a great feeling of extra security. Just buy it -- you'll love it.

You cant go wrong with the battery grip!
Allows ease of use to shoot vertically, and increases battery life by far!
Anyone with the 20d, 30d, 40d, and 50d needs to have this product. Better grip over all.
I have the canon hand strap for mines and i can carry my camera in one hand all day with a f/2.8 16-35mm II L attached to it, without ever pulling out the neck strap and using it!
By Michael Magpantay (Southern California, USA)
I could have gone generic but this at ~$150 I couldn't pass up getting the authentic Canon accessory. Battery life is superb and the grip adds that extra touch to handling the camera. It feels like a real camera and not a toy. I swapped the functions of the '*' and the 'AF-ON' buttons so I can use the '*' to focus independently on the grip.
The grip attaches firmly to the camera with no play whatsoever. The battery compartment hides away inside so you don't lose it.
Must have accessory.
By Hamish Carpenter (West Bloomfield, MI)
Just bought a new Canon 50d and bought the grip recently. I have had canon grips in the past and they prove to be invaluable. Placing 2 batteries in the grip allow shooting for all day sessions. Battery encourages portrait-style photos. Only downside is that the back focus button is not on the grip when you want to use the custom functions. Highly recommended and adds some heft to the camera..
By B. Morrison (Tulsa)
Canon's Battery grip is a useful, well-thought out product. As an example of how well thought-out it is, when you remove the battery compartment cover, there is a small slot in the grip to put the cover so that you don't lose it.
The grip allows you to go so long without charging the batteries that sometimes it can be hard to remember to charge them. I have never used up the batteries in a single day. It also helps balance the camera when using a heavy lens such as the 70-200 2.8 IS. It feels good in my hand as well.
The only thing to consider before you buy it is the weight it adds. Combine the 50D, with two batteries, the grip, and the 24-70 2.8 and my wife does not like to help it for more than a few shots. Although, I won't knock off a star for the weight because that is not a flaw in the product just something you want to consider.
By the way, the first one that I bought the portrait shutter button did not work. When it first arrives, check to ensure that the portrait shutter features work so that you don't only possibly discover it after the return period.
By ItchyShutterFinger (San Diego)
The BG-E2N is a nice battery grip. Honestly though, I think the other second hand grips are just as nice now. My Canon BG-E2N does not fit completely snug up against my 50D, and the Shutter button is not as accurate as the 50D shutter. Still a nice grip though. The weather guard is makes it worth it. Plus I like how it has a compartment for the original battery door so you don't lose it.

I bought this for use with my 40D. I was doing a lot of shooting with the camera held in one hand and a flash held in the other. The trouble was, I couldn't really operate the camera with one hand. For example, after shooting a couple of frames, I would want to switch to playback mode and review the images. I found I couldn't press the "play" button with the hand holding the camera. So I was left juggling the camera and the flash.
I thought that with this strap, I would be able to completely hold and operate the camera with one hand. Unfortunately when you have your hand in the strap and the camera is completely hanging off one hand, you CANNOT reach any of the buttons. The shutter release is the only thing that you can reach, and that's awkward. The problem is the camera hangs down, leaving your thumb way above any of the buttons. If you want to press any of the buttons on the camera, you need to hold it with your other hand.
By WestCon5
This is by far my most favorite accessory for my camera. I hate having the neck strap dangling all over. This is very comfortable. A couple of things could be improved. The actual strap needs a little more reinforcement. I think the metal piece on the camera will eventually cut through the nylon before the rest of the strap will wear out. The strap could be a little wider. When it passes through the padded section, that tends to bend over on itself because the strap is very narrow. I love having the camera attached to my hand. I took the camera out in New Orleans on Bourbon Street and felt completely safe like no one would try and rip it out of my hands or cut the strap and run. Overall, I would not hesitate to buy another one when this one wears out, even without the needed changes.
By Omegaman
Works like a charm. Soft, yet grippy. Only bad side is the anchor that screws into the base of the camera is a little bulky, but that's probably required for it to be durable. Overall, the hand strap is a very nice, less clumsy alternative to the neck strap.
By from the mind of...IILUSSIION (MD, USA)
I was surprised how comfortable this grip strap is!
I have a Nikon D80 with a vertical grip and this product fits perfectly!
By JAM in SF (San Francisco CA)
It has taken a bit of getting-used-to, but I'm now pretty comfortable with this wrist grip, and would definitely recommend it. Like many other reviewers, the adjustable strap was backwards when it arrived; after fiddling with it for awhile and realizing that it wasn't working, I pulled it out and put it back the other way, and it worked fine. My only complaint has to do with the big, clunky attachment to the tripod screw -- it's no longer possible to put my camera (a Pentax K20D) down on a flat surface. I miss the flat-bottom of my dSLR! Otherwise, this is a really useful accessory for those of us who don't rely on the neck strap for carrying our cameras around.
