[QUOTE="Kodiak, post: 170470, member: 15426"] [FONT=verdana]Hi there, [/FONT][COLOR=#0000ff][I][LEFT][FONT=verdana]But don't you guys think battery grips are frigging expensive? [/FONT][/LEFT] [/I][/COLOR][LEFT][FONT=verdana] This is a very personal point. I do not see as expensive something that: • gives me a stronger hold on what's in my hand. If it is there, it should stay there! Just imagine dropping your gear… the price of the grip is better protection than any insurance coverage! • acts as a stabilizer. Specially when working handheld in low light conditions. • [/FONT][COLOR=#333333][FONT=verdana]ergonomics:[/FONT] "[/COLOR][COLOR=#000000][FONT=Baskerville][SIZE=3]the study of people's efficiency in their working environment[/SIZE][/FONT][/COLOR][FONT=Baskerville][SIZE=3][COLOR=#000000]."

An other thing: I would never consider acquiring third party gear when it come to my tools. I need the rugged feel and the sturdiness of the brand.
