I just purchased this grip but it seems to have only one tray for AA batteries. Was this supposed to come with a tray for canon batteries as well?

My grip came with two trays. One tray inside the grip for Canon batteries and an extra tray for AA batteries. Canon apparently does not offer the trays as separate items.

Yes, the Premium Silver Edition automatically comes with the grip (bottom part of the image). Plus AA battery and spare card holder and, most importantly, one more battery, so that it operates with both batteries and you can have the other set, with the AAs, ready just in case it discharges both batteries (the one in the body and the one in the grip). It doesn't come with AA batteries in the box.

The one I received, which arrived quickly, matched my Rebel T3i perfectly and was a snap to set up. i have been using the 2 LP-E8 Li-ion batteries becasue they recharge very quickly. Have been using the grip for about 8 months I think without any difficulties or problems.

Nope, was under the impression before that one could do that. Just 1 fits in the grip and another in the actual camera body. Even the original Nikon grip is the same. You should consider the EN-EL18 battery adaptation for it although it's pricey if you're looking for faster auto-focus and longer battery lifelife.

No it doesn't. Just the grip, and a battery tray for AA batteries. Regardless I strongly do not recommend this product. It does not work properly. I immediately sent mine back after I tried it.

Actually there is a shutter button however you don't need a double AA tray just order 1 spasre battery through Amazon.com which is fairly inexpensive and have a set ready at all times thats what I do and life couldn't be better I hope this helps you.

You have to take out the battery to use the grip. The long thing sticking out of the grip goes in the camera. The grip comes with a holder that holds one or two batteries. And a holder that hold 6 AA batteries. I would go with two recharable batteries, since the AA do not last very long. The single battery last much longer than the AA's.

I think mine came with the AA adapter inside. Press the two white buttons to the side to remove the AA adapter and you can use the canon batteries.

I am not sure but do not buy this grip. Something is wrong with mine, the connection that holds the batteries in will not lock properly so I keep losing power and it locks up my camera. I have an RMA to send it back for repair but it takes 6-8 weeks! Just poor!!!!! I am buying Canon.

Yes. I purchased an off brand battery grip for one of my cameras. The grip itself feels very light and plasticy but having two batteries there makes a huge difference in how many shots I get in one day. If you care about the name, buy a Nikon grip. If you don't care about the name, start reading reviews until you find one you like.

I'm guessing you're asking if the battery charge-level indicator on the camera display works when the grip is attached. Yes it does. It works with both Canon OEM and aftermarket batteries.

There`s no problem... i`ve the original one that came with the camera and a Neewer battery, and both of them works fine.... maybe when you check the battery status in the menu of the camera it will display a fewer shots with the Neewer one. The other advantage that you can experience with this grip is the posibility of use the six AA batteries holder, that in may case and using eneloop batteries, last almost twice than when i used the LP E6 batteries.

You can only put ONE regular camera batteries in the grip. It has an adapter for 8 AA batteries. I am VERY happy with the quality and performance of the grip. I also have a Nikon grip for my D300 and it is comparable in quality and function.

Thanks, not really an issue, grip works fine. I just wondered, since both batteries are always in play, why the shutter count for each battery and be different. A nit, really.

Nope. Just the grip and two trays. One for 6aa and one for one EN-EL15. It's a real nice grip btw, and sometimes you can find deals on used ones (they're quite expensive new).

The AA cradle was NOT included in this. There is only room for 2 en-el9a batteries - Although, you do not need to have 2 batteries in grip to shoot. My apologies for not including this info in my review. While it would be convenient to have the AA option, it really isn't needed. Two fully charged en-el9a batts give me AT LEAST 550 shots (half with flash). Besides, for 25 bucks, just the benefit of having the "extra meat" on this little Nikon is worth it. Hope this helps! :)

The grip comes with 2 battery trays - one for the EN-EL15 and the other for 6 AA batteries. The second EL-EL15 stays within the camera with either battery holder (or none).
