Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of Opteka Battery Pack Grip / Vertical Shutter Release for Canon EOS Digital Rebel XTi & Rebel XT with 2 NB-2LH Batteries (3600 mAh Total)

Customer Review: Batteries lose charge quickly - Grip causes issues as well.
Summary: 1 Stars

First and foremost, the batteries are junk. Original OEM Canon batteries will let me shot 5x to 10x longer than these. Even with a full charge. At one point, I had them charged in my bag, went to use them the next day, and got about 5 shots off before the battery died. Unacceptable. I ended up just throwing them away.

Second, the grip itself. I have only had one chance to use it on a photoshoot, and after a few dozen shots, I was getting a low battery reading. I was using original Canon batteries. I pulled out one of the batteries, put it directly in the camera, and shot for the rest of the day on it.

All and all, I am not the least be impressed with Opteka.

Good luck.
