Ebay Grips

I know that you get what you pay for etc, but has anyone got any experience of these ebay grips?

2 Batteries and a grip for that price seems pretty good to me, i need something cheap that i don't mind breaking for my Kilimanjaro climb, more info:

I have used the knockoff grips for over two years now and no problems. Mine looks the same as the one you show but with a different name. I believe that they are the same ones just packaged under different brands.

Thanks mate, i'll order one and see how it goes!

I've had an Opteka grip for my 400D and it's worked great. The buttons are a little mushy, but it's a small price to pay for the small price you pay

I'm using the Phottix branded ones. They all look the same and functions like the original.

I have had a grip from that vendor for my 30d for a year now.
The only issue I had was dirty contacts. After cleaning them with a little isopropyl alcohol the grip has performed perfectly.

Oh, and the batteries are a little bit dodgy. They don't hold their charge for very long if left in the grip.
