Canon 7D Camera Battery Pack for your needs
This camera battery pack is outstanding. I have been a photographer for a very long time, and have the product comprehension and the experience to make a very detailed evaluation of the Zeikos ZE-CBG7D.
I own the Canon 450D, two Canon 5D’s, and my recently purchased Canon 7D. The 450D and the 5D’s have the Canon battery packs and I am very happy with their performance. I have never had a problem with the aforementioned. The only reason that I bought a non-Canon battery pack this time was merely an experiment that fortunately produced excellent results.
The initial costs for the 7D exceeded $4,000. This included the Camera body, several different EIS, and one L series autofocus lense. When I decided to buy the battery pack, (an absolute necessity if you shoot HD video), I decided to buy the Zeikos because of the ergonomics of the grip. The fact that it sells for substantially less than the Canon battery pack was a bonus.
I purchased three Canon camera batteries and have been using them on the Zeikos without any problem whatsoever. The battery information is read flawlessly by the Camera. My objective in writing this brief review is to help the decision making process for any photographer that is contemplating whether or not the buy the Zeikos versus the Canon battery pack. I truly hope that Zeikos continues to build products of this quality, because if they do…they have a lifetime customer in me.
The many positive reviews for this grip are right. This is an excellent excellent grip. I did not realize that a 3rd party camera accessory that is half the price of the regular item could be this good in quality.
Their is only area where this product could be improved. The main dial is a tad bit slippery, when compared to the main dial on the camera. However this is an extremely minor issue and not enough to warrant a ding on the star rating for this product.
I am extremely satisfied with the product and buy it again in a heartbeat if had to.My respect for Zeikos has gone up quite high because of this product. And I will prefer them over other 3rd party brands when looking to buy other camera accessories.
