I have used Vello battery grips on several of my cameras over the years and have never had an issues other than a battery switch that broke on the cradle. I caught this one on a special B&H sale for $49.95! They have and continue to work perfectly on my 5Ds and 5Ds-r. Thanks to B&H for a great deal on a great product!

Great Battery Grip

I have used Vello battery grips for years with zero issues. This first issue was the battery locking latch tab broke off. I could be to blame or not, as I don't know if it got bumped and damaged or was weak plastic. The unit still worked fine but was just aggravating to remove to charge batteries. I recieved the new grip and it works great. I also utilized the battery latch tab from the AA battery holder and it matched up so I used that to repair the older broken one and now keep it as spare. So 2 grips for the price of one!
