I bought this to have more body to hold onto while taking my childrens photo's. I love it. It fits great I have a Canon Rebel XS and it fits like a glove.

Comments about Vello BG-C1 Battery Grip for Canon EOS XS, XSi, and T1i:

I bought this along with an extra used Canon battery.

Upon opening, I noticed that the grip seemed very well constructed, while not being too heavy.

Ive used this new grip on at least 3-4 photoshoots and I absolutely love it. The extra battery life is great. Its has the zoom -/+ on the bottom right along with a shutter button on the front portion for when you hold the camera vertical. There is also an AV button on the rear section. The rubber is not bulky or thick, and very nice to hold onto.

I have not used the 6 AA battery option tray, so I can not comment on that.

Great grip. When I buy a second camera for a backup, I will be getting another grip from Vello.

As an event photographer I am often on shoots that last from four - eight hours. This grip feels sturdy to hold and solidly attaches to the camera. Holding two batteries, I do not worry about running out of juice. However, with the ability to use 6AA batteries, the additional power backup is a plus.

Other than adding the use of an additional battery, the ability to take portrait (as opposed to landscape) shots without contorting is very nice and helps stave off fatigue during long shoots.

To use this grip the batter door of the camera must be removed. There is a handy storage location for the door on the grip, but it doesn't hold the door tightly. The battery door rattles sometimes when handling the camera.

I'm using this on my Canon T1i - it looks like it came with the Camera. I've been using the Camera on and off for about a week and the battery indicator is still on three bars.

All of the vertical grip buttons and function wheel work fine.

Initially I couldn't get the camera to turn on, but then figured out I wasn't closing the battery door all the way. Once I did that, it worked perfectly.

Almost purchased a cheaper grip. This one fits and looks good. Lasted me through a whole wedding shoot.

Comments about Vello BG-C1 Battery Grip for Canon EOS XS, XSi, and T1i:

A lot cheaper than the canon grip. Works great. The buttons feal a little different from the original camera buttons but it doesn't bother me.

Comments about Vello BG-C1 Battery Grip for Canon EOS XS, XSi, and T1i:

At 2/3 the cost of the Canon's battery grip, this is great value! Very easy to attach to my Canon camera. All the buttons in the battery pack are in the right position for vertical/portrait, which makes it very user friendly. Having the capability of being able to use AA batteries when charger is not available for any reason is a big plus! I absolutely would not hesitate to recommend this to any Canon owner.

Comments about Vello BG-C1 Battery Grip for Canon EOS XS, XSi, and T1i:

I have big hands and I take a lot of pics in my profession. So having the increased handle length makes it a lot easier for me to hold well and steady for longer periods of time. Also, the two battery feature is great for giving me more shooting time with less recharging.

Comments about Vello BG-C1 Battery Grip for Canon EOS XS, XSi, and T1i:

Performs exactly as described, feels solid once it's mounted on the camera and makes those portrait shots much easier. Secondary shutter button is a plus. Very glad with the product!

Comments about Vello BG-C1 Battery Grip for Canon EOS XS, XSi, and T1i:

I bought this grip hoping it would allow me to be able to better grip my camera. It has not disappointed. While it does add a little extra weight, having it makes the camera much easier to handle. It also makes taking photos vertically alot easier.
I am sold on this grip.

Works well and was delivered on time.

Comments about Vello BG-C1 Battery Grip for Canon EOS XS, XSi, and T1i:

just great! work`s fabulously, better grip on camera with a heavier lens, fit`s on tripod (manfrotto 496rc2 head). why pay more for a canon unless maybe you`re a pro or someone with lost`s of money to throw away!

Comments about Vello BG-C1 Battery Grip for Canon EOS XS, XSi, and T1i:

Just used a few times since I bought the grip.
Love the way it handles When shooting portrait, not in the way when shooting landscape. A little cumbersome when first tried, but adapted easily after a few shoots. Fit camera w/o a problem and easy to set up. Not a technical type of person so the simplicity was a nice feature.

Easy to use, nice grip and it looks great on the camera :) The boutons work great.

Nice product

Comments about Vello BG-C1 Battery Grip for Canon EOS XS, XSi, and T1i:

This grip feels just like the Canon grips I've had for my other camera! Only snafu has been the 6-AA battery option pack..the battery indicator on the camera LCD flashs and wont give you an accurate read even with a set of new batteries.

Comments about Vello BG-C1 Battery Grip for Canon EOS XS, XSi, and T1i:

I have been in the need for one of these for awhile now. I was dead set on buying the Canon model after reading the reviews on the Bower and Vivitar units. Then the wife gave me this unit as a gift. I had never heard of the brand before, but I got on [@] and read the customer reviews. ALL were positive. I decided to try it.I attached it to my Canon T1i and was impressed with the fit, finish and the function of this product. It looks like a factory Canon add-on (same finish as the camera). Best of all, it fits like factory and is tight (no daylight between the camera body and the battery pack.I love the second shutter release button on top. It make shooting portrait mode much eaiser!There is a down side but it is small, it adds weight to the camera. I enjoyed my camera being light because I carried it long hours at shoots like weddings... Not that big of a deal, I will get used to it.Vello has done well. Love it, and should have done it sooner

Fits my Canon T1i perfectly. It's a comfortable grip, feels just like the grip on the camera. I would buy from Vello again.
