## Questions & Answers

**Q: Can anyone tell me how to set the LCD screen on the grip? I can get the green back light to work, but that's about it. Thanks in advance :).**
A: I have this problem when I received the item, and many people might have had the same problem. I spent around 2 hrs of reading the manual and googling for a fix and finally I have found the FIX!!!It's the CR-1620 button button battery that powers the intervelometer which is the culprit. The button battery was dead/weak when I received the item. The display wouldn't change no matter which button I press or how long I press. The battery makes you think that you have received a defective item. Replace the battery with the spare battery that is included and BAM!! there you go, you should have your buttons working again.Here are the steps to change the battery:1. Open the battery pack tray.2. On the wall behind the intervalometer display is the button battery cover.3. Push it down and away from the wall to open the battery cover. (this is tricky! show some patience, dont break the damn cover)4. You may want to use a pair of tweezers to remove the battery.THUMBS UP IF YOU FOUND THIS HELPFUL!!

**Q: Will this grip work on a Canon T4I?**
A: I bought one and it works perfectly. I absolutely recommend it.

**Q: Can you purchase just the battery holder for lp-e8.**
A: The battery holder can't be sold separately.

**Q: What is the benefit of the LCD Screen Monitor?**
A: Honestly, there really is no benefit. It shows you the time but that's not really a critical element that we were looking for. This particular model just happened to have an LCD screen. No benefit.

    Good Product, Great Value, Fantastic Accessory for your T2i!
  

*by B***D on Reviewed in the United States on February 18, 2011*

With no reviews yet for this Battery Grip when I ordered, I figured I'd be the Guinea Pig on this product and give it a try.  I have to give it a good solid 4 1/2 stars, would have been 5 if not for one thing...)My package arrived, and I had it installed on the camera in just a few minutes, before I ever looked at the instructions.  Easy to attach.The Battery Grip is "MeiKe" brand, and it looks to be very good quality.  Fit and finish is very good, equal to the Canon T2i.The Battery Grip gives my T2i a much more "substantial" feel for my large hands (I'm 6'0" and 275) and makes me feel more secure holding it in my grasp, especially with a telephoto zoom or Speedlite installed.  The vertical shutter release and main wheel built into the grip make taking "portrait" pictures a very comfortable snap.  The selector wheel has almost the exact feel as the camera's wheel, but the shutter release has a softer "click" when releasing the shutter than the T2i's release button.The grip comes with 2 battery trays, one which holds 2 of the LP-E8 Lithium batteries (only 1 needs to be installed for the camera to operate) and the other which holds 6 rechargeable NiMH batteries.  I wouldn't recommend using alkalines with this tray, as 6 alkalines would produce 9 volts instead of the 7.2 volts the camera is designed for.The LCD is a very nice feature.  It has a built in clock with calendar, and a built-in timer function. The LCD also has a nice green-colored backlight which might come in handy if you're outside taking some time lapse pictures of the night sky, and a lockout function which disables the keypad buttons so they don't get pressed while carrying the camera on a strap, or while it's stuffed in your camera bag.With the timer you can set the camera up to:  Delay - Give yourself enough time to get into the frame.  You can set the delay anywhere from 1 second until ???-- Sometime tomorrow, or maybe next week.  I think it's 99 hours, 59 minutes, and 59 seconds.  All the time you need and then some.  Long Exposure - Set the camera shutter speed to "Bulb", then set the "Long" timer for how long you want the shutter to stay open.  Interval - Set how long between photos, when taking multiple timed shots.  "N" - Set how many timed shots you want to take, from 1 to 999.The instructions are actually pretty good for Chenglish, they tell you how to set the clock, calendar, and timers, but they don't explain at all how the timer works.  I had to figure this out on my own, and since this is my first DSLR (and first new SLR since I bought my Canon T70 back in the mid '80's) I wasn't familiar with fancy photo timers.  So, to help out old newb's like me, I'll try to explain how this timer works.As you move through the Timer Menus, you can see that there are timers for Delay, Long, and Interval and a setting for "N".  Intuitively, I thought that there are 3 "modes" that this timer works in, but this is not the case.  There is only 1 mode, and you have to think about it like this:  Each Event that you set has 4 parameters that you have to set, in order to accomplish your timed shutter release.  So, let's set up a simple thing to do, like give myself 15 seconds to start the timer, and then run and get into the frame for the family reunion photo.  And, just to make sure we get a good shot, we'll have the timer take 3 pictures, each 3 seconds apart.First, you'll enter the timer menu, and "Delay" will be flashing. "Delay" sets how much time before the first shutter release takes place.  Press the "OK" button, which then sets the "seconds" pair of digits flashing.  Use the "up" arrow key to set the seconds to 15.  The "left" and "right" arrow keys sequence through the seconds, minutes and hours positions, make sure they are both set to zero.Next, set the "Long" parameter.  Think of this as, "How long do you want the shutter button pressed by the electronic finger?" Since you want the "electronic finger" to press the shutter release for you, you'll have to set the "Long" parameter to 1 second.  If you leave it set to zero, nothing will happen at all(which is a good thing to keep in mind... setting the "Long" parameter to zero is a good way to disable the timer so that it won't accidentally activate on you.)  If you're taking a long bulb exposure, set this to however long you want the shutter to remain open.Now we'll set the Interval.  Interval is how much time between shutter releases, when there is more than one set.  Since we want to take 3 pictures, each 3 seconds apart, we'll set the Interval for 3 seconds.Finally, we'll set "N", which is "How many photos do you want the timer to take?".  Since we want 3 pictures total, we'll set "N" accordingly.Now we're ready to take our set of 3 pictures.  Make sure that there are no timer digits flashing (you should only be seeing "Delay" flashing) press the "Play/Pause" button.  You'll see the delay timer start counting down from 15 seconds.  When it reaches about 3 seconds, it will activate the camera's metering and autofocus system, and then when it reaches "00" it will trip the shutter, and decrease "N" by 1.  Now the Interval timer that we set takes over, and it will count down from 3 seconds, releasing the shutter when it reaches zero.  It will continue to do this for however many times you set in "N".All this sounds a little confusing probably, but once I figured out how the timer system operates, it's really quite easy to understand and set up.The Battery Grip also comes with an IR remote control.  It works, but it seems a little flaky... sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't.  Maybe I'm not doing something right, the instructions only tell how to enable the remote, but not how it operates.  Not a big deal to me.  If the remote worked better, I would have given 5 stars.In all, I highly recommend this Battery Grip.  The timer is easy to set up and use once you understand it's logic, and the fit and finish of the grip is excellent.  I can only find one fault with it so far, and that is the flaky IR remote.  But, even with that, for the price compared to the Canon grip, this grip is a steal!  I just hope that the grip lives as long as the camera does!  Time will tell.Thanks for reading, I hope this review helps you with your decision.

    Works with T4i (detailed review)
  

*by M***I on Reviewed in the United States on February 10, 2013*

For anyone that's curious, this is a Meike grip. The grip came exactly as described. Haven't had any problems with it so far. As others have stated, the instructions are written in rough English. For the most part tho, everything can be figured out by just messing around with it. As a notice, I am using a factory Canon battery 1120mAh and a third party STK battery 2000mAh in conjunction with each other.Physical Features: 8/10The grip itself is solid. The back and sides are made out of smooth plastic, but the plastic itself feels solid. The front has the same texture as on the Canon Rebel series. A ruggedized rubber like insert. The rubber on the grip does feel a little smoother though. Both battery compartments feel solid and the connectors for the Canon batteries are directly flush with the batteries themselves. The siding bay holding the batteries has a little flex to it, but nothing major. I will say that the locking mechanism on the side of the battery compartment does feel a little chinsy. It works, but it doesn't require a lot of torque to twist the lock to lock/unlock the battery compartment. The bottom has the same ruggedized material and the tripod mount is stable. The bottons themselves all have a little play when just rubed against. This does nothing for the actual function of the camera, just don't expect the buttons to feel as solid as what's on the actual camera. The click wheel to alter the shutter speed is almost as solid as the actual camera wheel. The LCD display light is backlit in green, but the screen can only been seen when at eye level. One thing I don't care for is when switching the focusing point, you can't use the direction buttons on the grip to change the focus. The points can only be changed by pressing the button to show your focus point and then using your click wheel to switch through each individual point. It's a pain to use since it can be touchy at times. As for holding it to take pictures, you won't accidentally be hitting buttons. Even with my thumb pressing into the buttons on the back, it requires some force for them to actually be pressed. The screw lock to lock the grip into place is secure and holds the camera nicely. The addition of an on/off switch to save battery life was a nice touch also.LCD Display stuff: 6/10The instructions as stated above are complete garbage. Here is a run down of how everything works. The LCD display gives you 4 settings to automatically take pictures and 2 settings to use the wireless remote. The first 4 settings are 'Delay", "Long" "Intrvl", and "N" (Number). To program the settings you basically just kit the "OK' button and use the directional arrows to pick out each individual timer. Clicking up/down will cycle between the auto settings and the wireless remote settings. The settings can be set from 1 second to 9 hours. Max being 9 hrs 59 min and 59 sec. The Number setting can have a max of 999.The delay does exactly as described. It puts a delay on the camera before the camera begins to take pictures.The "Long" is how long you want the camera to take pictures for. The problem with this is that the camera will pretty much take as many pictures as possible within that selected time frame. (Example: I had it set to 1 second with a shutter speed of 0.5. So the camera obviously only took 2 pictures. But if you increase the shutter speed or amount of time, the camera will take copious amounts of pictures. Their isn't a setting to delay a time between each shot. You could work around this by setting up interval setting to cycle every other second while having your shutter speed really low, but it becomes a pain really fast.The "intrvl" is the amount of time the camera will cycle before taking its next set of pictures. This setting makes the "Delay" setting rather pointless after the first set of pictures or if you're using a remote.The "N" setting is where it gets confusing if you're new to this. It doesn't represent the number of pictures the camera will take within the set amount of designated "long" time. It takes a numbered set of pictures. So if you have the "N" set to 10 and the "Intrvl" set to 1 minute. It will take 10 sets of pictures over the course of 10 minutes and then end all together. Basically, every time the "Intrvl" cycles that minute. The "N" drops from 10 to 9 to 8...etc.The wireless remote setting and clock setting are easy. Pressing the up/down button as stated will cycle you to the remote setting. The first setting just shows the clock while the second setting shows the clock and a little remote icon below it. When the icon is appearing, the wireless remote can be used with the grip.Wireless Remote: 2/10I am going off of just using this remote, but so far it has been absolute junk. It works, but only after you spam the freaking button a few dozen times. The camera recognizes each button press since the LED red light on the front of the grip lights up, but the remote just doesn't respond. It takes anywhere from 4-10 rapid presses for the camera to focus, beep, and take the picture. Do yourself a favor and buy a real wireless remote.Battery Life: N/AI haven't had a chance to fully drain the batteries or test the AA batteries. I will update this section when I test this out. As a side note, the grip came with a small dime sized battery. It's actually a spare battery for the LCD clock on the grip. Inside the grip on the right hand side of where the battery compartment goes, their is a small compartment for the battery. tok me a few minutes to figure out.Conclusion: The grip does exactly what it's suppose to. it's comfortable to hold, everything works (Even on the newest Canon model) and it's a lot cheaper than some of the other grips. With that being said, the secondary features of this grip can definitely be improved. I am very happy with mine, and for the amateur photographer this will make a stellar grip to utilize for the money. Just don't use the remote....

J'ai changé la  précédente  poignée qui fonctionnait parfaitement. Mais mon boitier , très lourdement chargé, est tombé par « lévitation », non « gravité et porte-à-faux ».Ce modèle est un peu plus volumineux que le précédent, à cause ou grâce , à l'écran LCD , au clavier de programmation et à la pile de sauvegarde. J'ai choisi le modèle avec intervallomètre : fonction indispensable pour faire de la vidéo  , après de multiples photos d'objets ou plantes à mouvements très lents.La programmation est facile est intuitive . L'appareil peut également régler le temps d'exposition en mode TV .Problème  rencontré : la poignée  ne laisse pas à l'auto focus  le temps de faire la mise au point .Il faudrait que j'essaye , avec un autre objectif à AF ultra rapide .4 étoiles  plus 1 , total 5 . Par respect pour son prédécesseur qui a eu le fair-play de se sacrifier pour épargner  le boitier, l'objectif et le flash. Rififi la photo .
