Works great!

Grip fits and operates perfectly in my new Canon R6 Mk III. Don't forget there is a built in storage space for the camera battery door on the vertical arm of the grip.

Value for Money

Just a couple of issues, the R6II battery door doesn't stay in the spot in the grip. The connecting points are too far apart. The battery door also doesn't fit tightly in the grip. You can see daylight in the gap. I'd say it's about half the Canon grip, But, it's about a quarter the price of the Canon grip. Your choice.
