@Motorsport.Digital it's brilliant strategy actually. Canon purposely engineers this imperfection with the battery grip so that people with OCD go out and buy the 1DX or the upcoming R1 haha!
@Motorsport.Digital the 1DX Mk3 is 20 megapixel at $6,500 US dollars so I'm guessing the R1 would be over $7,500 at least! Hopefully lots of megapixels as well!
Is there a third party battery grip that is close to build quality that does not give you a battery communication error that anyone can suggest or should I fork out the $350 for the Canon version.

@Marley Jagger Thanks so much for your reply. I got to the site through google and im in the hacking process atm. I see it takes quite some time so I will get back to you later when my account password hopefully is recovered.
Im a profesional photographer so this will be VERY nice on my r6 but $350 for the grip seems hard to justify. especially being 19 and a college student when I just spent 3k on a camera. DO you think it was worth it?
Dude the battery grip is a necessity! I can't imagine taking my R5 outside without twin batteries. $350 bucks is nothing. Absolutely worth it! I understand that is a lot of money at 19, but trust me, grind & work hard/ smart, be original and make that paper, I wish you tons of success!
@@RylisPro you make a very convincing argument! Along with your video I actually decided I need it now. Gotta save up a bit and pay off my R6 but now i know i need it. Was just waiting for that push up pull the trigger. Thanks man! You earned yourself my sub
Coming from a 1DX I was compelled to purchase the grip. Only negative is the odd placing of the joystick kind of almost in the middle. Very odd placement for vertical shooting.
@@AdeptusSkibidicus I just personally prefer things made in Japan such as the R5. The batteries are Chinese as well, but everything works as it should. thanks!
Thank you for your service. Good review! I am debating to add this grip to my R5, i go hiking and 1 battery is quite enough but i do finish it after a long hike, 2 batteries would be perfect! Also you need to invest in proper SD card and CFExpress! (i recommend the SONY Tough SD card and CFExpress card, they are beasts)
It’s so expensive, ugh but I gotta do it. Can you tell me if they sell an L bracket for the grip? I wanted to know if there was an arca Swiss L that works? Thanks!
It is not true that the grip uses the higher % battery. It may have appeared that way when you checked it, but I have caught mine using a 68% charged battery when the other one was at 98%. You can tell because the camera will slow down it’s FPS when the battery gets below about 70%. I caught mine doing this twice and each time I swapped the battery position in the slots and the fps went back up to 12 FPS. I wish mine did as you say.
Thanks for the interesting review, but your statement that "with the battery grip it's another 3 lbs" is simply not correct. A R5 without lens but with one battery weighs 25.6 oz (with the original battery). The BG-R10 adds 12.4 oz plus the ONE extra battery at 3.2 oz. (the original battery just moves from the R5 to the BG). The total increase in weight is 15.6 oz or less than 1 lb. A R5 body with a BG and batteries weighs 41.2 oz total (no lens) or 2.6 lbs. A EOS D1 X Mk3 with battery (again no lens) weighs 50.7 oz (3.2 lbs). If your camera and lens using an internal battery weighs 3 lbs, adding the battery grip will increase the weight by less than 25 percent to total less than 4 lbs. Also, it appears that you are using a micro SD card in a SD adapter. That's generally a bad idea in any Canon EOS camera. SD adapters add additional contact issues that can drastically affect reliability and often cause serious problems! If you value your content, stay away from micro cards in SD adapters.
No worries! I'm sure your are correct with all the weights. I think I meant 3lbs with the RF 28-70 brick I had mounted on at the time. Thanks for the micro sd card tip, yea agree, getting v90 SD cards, Ninja V+, & CFexpress cards from now on!
@@RylisPro Yep, I just didn't want anyone to be afraid of adding the BG because they thought it added 3 lbs :-). FWIW: I've had good luck with Sandisc 128GB CFexpress cards in the R5 (so far - fingers crossed). Also, FYI, I've had good results with "3rd party" LP-E6NH batteries from Powerextra (Amazon) A 3-pack of batteries and a triple-charger goes for $41total, and they work fine. Even if they only last a year or two (as opposed the the Canon batteries which can last for 3 or 4 years, they are a good deal at about 1/5 the cost of a Canon LP-E6NH. Cheers
@@maorvaknin769 I agree on getting another lens. I am keeping the 28-70 as the photos are stunning, my Wife looks so good in the images it produces. As for a video, I am waiting on the rumored wide angle RF 14-28mm 2.0 L lens. Will also be getting the RF 100-500mm for macro shots. The only problem is that they are so damn expensive haha thanks!
@@maorvaknin769 for the $2300 RF 24-70 I would rather get the RF 15-35. The only problem is the wobble with the R5. Hopefully the new RF bodies/ video cameras coming out next year will fix these issues thanks!
Personally I hated the grip and returned it after 3 days. Too big and honestly only way I would see it useful if it actually came with internal battery that would make R5 last a day of shooting. Otherwise I'm happy swapping batteries and having much smaller camera.
Might want to check that lens model also. Canon sets a price and any authorized dealer has to sell it for $3,999 for the Rf 28-70 so you might just bought a lens from a dealer that is not authorized and it may be a international model which wont be able to be registered in America.
The RF 28-70mm is $2,999.00 & I bought it on sale for $100 bucks less at well known authorized dealer. It's a love & hate relationship with this lens. Love the photos it produces but hate the noise when taking video . Will have to get it de-clicked & will make a video on that as well thanks!
@@RylisPro I highly question that. The only company's selling that lens with $100 off are the ones who are not authorized dealers. I am telling you you are not allowed to sell the lens below the MSRP
@@joshuadelawrence85 the RF 28-70mm had a $100 off sale on Canon's website last year in 2020 when I bought it. When I send it in to be de-clicked, they'll let me know if its fake or not haha! Just awaiting the RF 100 macro since the RF 28-70 is my only lens
Hello, thanks for the video, have you tried with batteries that are not the original canon ones? Please, I want to know if the grip is compatible with batteries of other brands, Greetings from Spain.
I only see one charging light on battery grip with two batteries in it. Will it switch over to the other battery after? I thought I would see two charging lights.
I don't have the Canon USB-C charger so I don't charge my batteries from the battery grip. I do have a total of four LP-E6NH batteries that I keep charged all the time so I don't ever run out of juice
That's awesome! You'll love the freedom the grip & 2 batteries give. I have also found out that if you have a USB C charger with a 45w PD or higher it will charge the batteries while inside the grip
Its always interesting stumbling over these videos two years since they were made, being in the market for the BG-R10. Still waiting for the R1 and of course the R5 with it’s firmware updates makes over heating pretty much a thing of the past. I thought it was a hell of a bold step going from a phone to pretty much the top of the range Canon with the very good glass. Not sure if you got the RF 100mm Macro , I have had the R5 for a couple of years almost but kept my EF 100mm as its a top lens, if you haven’t take a look some of canons cheaper primes some of them are very close focusing . You might find the RF 85mm does the job for you. Cheers from NZ 😀
The R5 is a great photo camera but after using it all this time as a video camera, I find it quite lacking. I am more of a videographer & need more dynamic range than what Canon has to offer... I do have the RF 100mm & should have waited to get it at a later date as Canon has given generous rebates for it & a few other lenses haha!
@@RylisPro I can understand that perspective, I’m photography first (mainly landscapes , interiors) and video second. Maybe the R5C is more what you are after , I believe it has more dynamic range than the R5 (don’t quote me on that) and of course is video centric. I’ve noticed Canon NZ offering a lot of cash back discounts lately as well. You have some nice glass there .

This battery grip here does not have Wi-Fi. The one you are asking about is the Canon WFT-R10A and is $999.00 bucks! Too much for our budget haha! Thanks
