Anyone tested this on a 5D3? Tks.

I have used this on a 5D3, unfortunately the AF confirm chip has not worked on any camera I have used it on.

It works with my 70D, so I'm sure it will work with a 5D. As a flash in M mode, this is just as good if not better than canon for the money. The ETTL on this flash sucks though which is what I bought it for. when I do shows and event photography id rather let the camera and flash work together rather than have different exposures for groups scenes.

I am waiting for a solid answer from a 5D3 user. For those who don't own a 5D3, please do not add to the confusion by saying practically "I guess so". Canon has changed the E-TTL digital interface and made several 3rd party flashes unable to work in E-TTL mode on 5D3. FYI.

Yes, the AF on the 5D3 is vastly improved over the 5D2. The mkiii has the same AF system as the 1DX! The 61pts provide a pretty coverage of the frame so you won't have to rely on the center point to focus and compose. The AF system in general performs very sell in low light situations. I don't use air servo too often but when I have, I found that it tracked my subjects well. You also get the customizable cases for aiservo so you can tune it to your preference in various different situations or dependent on your subject matters movement characteristics. I stepped up from my 7D which has a solid AF system which performed well. After using my 5D3, I prefer my mkiii as the AF system seems little more consistent, more accurate, and it works better in low light.

it works very well on my 5D so i do not see why it would not be great for a 7D. It has been fast and has given me no problems

Send it back. I have not had an issue using this grip with the 5dm2 in the vertical position

Yes it does. And it probably works better with 7D than with the full-frame 5D3 I used it with. The picture quality is still not so good, but at least the worst areas will not be in the frame.

I bought one several months ago and it works great on my 5dmk3 . No issues at all so far

I have not try it with canon 6d but I used it with 400D 7D and now with the 5Dmrkiii

Yes! This works great on my 7D, 5DMk III, and 1DX. It does not work on a 70D

I know of no reason why you would not be able to use the 580EX II with the 5D3. Go for it!

It works well on 7D for me. Don't know about 70D though. The build is better than what appears in the photo--stronger internal reinforcement. I chose this one based on the photo, thinking it looked weak on the side so I could open a screw hole on the side to do some tweak. Not so easy. Tight fit too.

I regularly use a 5D3 w/28-70 or 70-200 2.8 on this slider atop a cheap ball head. I've also slid a c100 with a manfrotto fluid head without a problem. I'd say anything under 10lbs is fine, as long as the head you're using on it can bear the weight.

I am using with a 7D with no problem. It is cheap enough to try even if you are not sure.

It's listed on my manual for the xti but i personally have not tried it, I'm using a 7D

I think so. You can check with Canon whether 1000X is fast enough to record 1080p RAW video on a 5d3.

I have used this on 5D Mk II with no issues. Make sure you have the 3 pin connector like me
