Hello this is Donna's son Paul. I would like to know if this works with a battery grip, and which rod system to buy. I am using a T3i.

it would be a good idea to get the extra large gears to make up for the extra height!

Yes, it does work. However since I have the battery grip, I prefer the Neewer Universal Black Metal Mount since I can remove the L part of the bracket without removing the whole bracket and access the battery compartment on the grip. I also leave the base part of the bracket on and only screw in the L part when needed.

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.

This grip takes a ton of AA batteries, I actually tossed mine in the trash shortly after buying it. I would send it right back and spring for one that uses actual canon batteries and not AA's, then you will be able to use any battery that fits into the 40D.

I have a canon t3i and I'd got the same battery package like u, i don't have any Cain of problem. Just try to pull it up slowly.... :)

No :/ you would have to get new side handles. Doesn't fit a t3i with battery grip... If that helps with the sizing. Only fits without the grip

Wow... I'm not sure. I've not had any problems with mine. I have one original nikon battery and one enel14 made by digipower. I would try attaching the grip first, then sliding in the battery tray. Or if you've already tried that.... Load the grip with the batteries, then attach the grip to camera. Does the "AA" tray work? If not, could be a bad grip. Hope this helps... Please do let me know. I'll be doing some research in the mean time.....

So far as the grip is concerned, the only time you use AC power is to recharge the batteries when they are out of the grip. . All accessory connections plug into the side of the 5D Mark III, except the AC adapter that goes into the same slot as the grip itself. If you use the AC adapter that is shaped like a battery and goes into the camera, you'll take off the grip and insert the adapter battery in the bottom of the camera. The grip provides 2 batteries, and long battery life, many exposures. Of course, you only need one AC adapter and you can have access by the simple removal of the grip from the camera. I don't use the AC adapter. I want my camera free as possible and I like the button placement and size of the grip, so it is always in place. If you have 2 chargers for your batteries or perhaps 2 chargers and a spare set of batteries as well, you'll find the grip works quite well and the AC adapter is not required (unless you have a very specific industrial or other application for the camera). I know of no photographers who use anything other than the grip--no one I know who uses the AC adapter. I don't like cords in my way. Good luck.

Mine arrived with a cable that wouldn't fit my T3i. I don't know if the fitting on the camera is the same for all Canons. Fortunately Vanguard's customer service was easy to reach, and they sent me a new cable at no charge--and that one works. Obviously I can't promise you a free cable, but they were very nice about it to me.

I use it frequently with both the 6D And 5D. It will have to be without a battery grip because it will be too tall for the focus ring.

It works very well on t2is which I understand has the same bayonet mount as the t3i along with other Canon DSLRs. That said it should work well but I have not used it on a t3i. I hope this helps you in some way.

You will need the Canon BG-E4 Battery grip. Your best bet would be on eBay.

No the battery head is different. But you can order this one on Amazon "Vivitar Multi-Power Battery Grip for Canon EOS Rebel T3 & T5 DSLR Camera with RC-6 Shutter Remote"

I am still waiting for this charger to arrive. But one issue... Just had my EOS 6D with one original Canon battery. I am using a battery grip (wich came with 2 Canon LP-6E replacement batteries. The original LP-6E battery in the original Canon charger did not complete its 1st charge and overnight. It was stuck on like 90%.. I placed it into the battery grip took some shots with the camera. Then placed it back into the original Canon charger. This time the charge completed and all is fine. So there may be some start up quirks with these batteries... I never experienced it before, with any kind of Canon batteries. FYI. I am still waiting for this charger to arrive. But one issue... Just had my EOS 6D with one original Canon battery.

I have tested the camera trigger and it worked but I don't use it regularly. I have a D5100 and sometimes my camera won't talk to the battery grip. The camera will be functioning fine, then I will get a warning on the screen that I have the wrong battery type in the camera. I wouldn't keep it as the only battery. You can keep the battery compartment door flap in a little pocket that's on the battery grip. That way if it stops working you can take a battery out of the grip and put it directly into the camera. It's annoying but when it works it's nice to have.

Yes. I have the 6D with the aftermarket (non-canon) battery grip, and the batteries work fine. First few times, worked without a hitch. The last time I used them, however, I was getting an error on one of them (the error that occurs when you use non-cannon battery...camera asks if you want to use anyway, but without info on battery). Swapped the batteries around, and the error moved with the battery. Assuming one of them is acting up. They are still working, and providing a LONG time between battery changes/charges; just unable to report battery life on one of them right now. I haven't bothered to look into the issue. For the price, i could easily just buy another one. Yes. I have the 6D with the aftermarket (non-canon) battery grip, and the batteries work fine. First few times, worked without a hitch.

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.
