I am professional photographer and i am very content with the battery magazine. It hasn't had any problems. The plastic seems durable but if it were thicker it would be more sturdy. However its great and has not given me any headaches.

Comments about Canon BGM-E6 Battery Magazine:
I like the fact that the magazine came with my grip but I'm surprised at how fast it will drain 6 AA battereis. Not complaining because it is a life saver but i was caught off guard at battery life. As the previous post said, it lets you rechard your ion batteries and in a real crisis, keep throwing in AA since they are cheap.

Getting back into photo from slides. Just what the doctor ordered for my 7D. Extra battery is great to extend use. Accepts AA magazines for added power on the road.

Comments about Canon BGM-E6 Battery Magazine:
I purchased with my new camera not realizing the battery grip already came with one. However, I dont regret it, especially considering how reasonable the price is! A must have for out of studio shooting and weddings. To be able to slap in a loaded magazine with AA batteries that are available anywhere when in a crunch is a God send!
Definitely worth the purchase!

When I'm on the road and the camera batteries die, this is a great back up. It uses AA batteries that are available almost everywhere and they will last long enough to recharge the dedicated batteries. Thankfully, I haven't run into this situation but, better prepared than not.
