I know the 70D is supposedly weatherproofed... Does this translate to the Battery Grip as well?

Given that the CANON brand battery Grip is manufactured in the same way, with the same materials as the camera, I would guess yes,it is weatherproof. I never worry about shooting in light rain.... And in Florida that can happen at any time.

I've used the battery grip in misty conditions, and some light rain conditions, making sure to dry both the camera and grip off as soon as possible. So far, no indications of malfunction or problems.

The Nikon MBD15 is the battery grip for the D7100/ MBD12 is for the D800. All models have a model specific grip. Simply googling the camera "model #, battery grip" will answer this question for any model or brand of camera.

I have never looked at or used a 7100. I own a couple of d7000 cameras and have had very good results with my battery grips.

After I purchased the wrong battery grip, the company I bought it from will not let me exchange the battery grip for the Eos Canon 7D. I will never ever do business with them again. It is still in the box, never used or put on a camera, they sent the wrong one, now I am stuck with it, so if any one wants a 50D Eos Canon Power Grip, let me know.

I can only answer for myself. I do not do much out door work so my experience is limited. I have used the 1D-x in rain but use a modified plastic bag for protection. Given what I have said I can say I have never had any weather problems using the camera.

I can't remember I'm sorry it's been a while, but I think your manual to the camera would tell you or the instructions to the battery grip.. It's not that hard.. You might have to fidget with it a bit..

Good question. The battery grip inserts into the spot where the battery goes into the camera. Also, the grip provides additional stability with weight, as well as, hold 2 batteries giving you more power for shooting. Also, it gives you access to your controls when shooting in portrait orientation in the same fashion as is landscape orientation.

Hi There, I have to of the outdoor cameras, I live in Houston so can sya that they can handle 104 which is about as hot as we get (as you know) and at 60 - 70 perecent humidity. The 30 mph winds with sand driving at the lense cover is going to be an issue - I am sure. I would drop Sharx an email - they will almost certainly answer immediatly and ask them if you can buy spare lense covers for the outdoor camera, you will have to replace it when it gets badly scratched. Best suggestion I have.

Certainly. In my experience, the camera is durable, snow-proof, and resistant to impacts and jarring. Definitely pick up a spare battery, though... the ones they ship with tend to be duds.

Yes that's what I have the 70d, 7D and T2i..however the stick rim is crap......It kept falling off.....

Just tried removing battery from the grip.(with priority to battery grip) and the camera shut off once I pulled the battery.If battery was set to priority to body and removed the battery grip the camera stayed on. Not sure if one can tell which battery the camera is using during recording (new user to camera) Haven't had the battery die on me yet with a normal day use.

I just got back from South Dakota where I dropped the camera onto the snowy ground from about 2-3 feet. I wiped off the snow but some of it melted on the camera and I was very worried. However, there were no problems. I carry the camera around in a pocket in my knapsack where it gets bounced around a lot---no problems so far.--Max Molinaro

when I ordered mind. I got 2 batterys with it. it may depend where you bye your vertical grip from. but you do want 2 batterys. your going to love this thing. it makes the whole camera feel very pro-like. very good balance. worth the money. very well build. good luck shooting out there. ak

My camera wheel works with the grip on or off. However, my grip function buttons do not work with my 40D. I think it's just a crappy product.

Well after doing some research I noticed what you mentioned. Also, the battery grip for the D700 states that it increases shutter speeds. Oh well. I'm still going to make the purchase closer to christmas because of the extra batter life and the portrait grip. Those two points were enough to sell me on the product. Thanks for your reply!

Temperature will affect the batteries more than the camera...consider using Lithium AA batteries in place of standard AA cells. The Lithium AA batteries should be good to 40 below or so. The other thing that will impact the camera operation is heavy snow activity...the flash reflects off the snow flakes and tends to mask the photo, while rain does not.

I shoot with a 70-D and yes it shows up on the info in the camera, in the view finder and the LCD screen.
