Canon EOS RP Battery Grip from MCOplus | Our Review

- Looking for a battery grip for your Canon EOS RP? I can kind of see why Canon themselves didn't make one, but this battery grip from MCOplus feels like it could have been an original unit from Canon. And I love how they use the cable into the remote trigger port to enable the MCOPlus Canon EOS Battery Grip to be able to use a button while in portrait mode. Such a smart way to get around the limitations of the camera. Should you buy this? Well, I think that if you are wanting to be able to shoot for longer periods of time with your Canon EOS RP (because the battery in the RP isn't great) than this is a fantastic option. This will definitely be coming with me for some of my shoots where I know that a single battery just won't do.

Any problems so far?
@@MathuCampbell i dont use it a lot, but so far still working well.
I have the same grip for my EOS RP, but I'm in Australia so the company marketing it is Neewer. Absolutely identical product though. Fun fact: you don't have to use two batteries at a time in the grip, and if you use only one battery the RP WILL show the proper battery level in the viewfinders.
hey would you have the link to this grip? I'm also in Australia and cannot find it on amazon. your help is greatly appreciated.
bought one based on this video review, and it fits like a glove. So far I'm happy with it.
Amazing. Glad it’s working for you.
That is a very nice looking accessory. Practical, simple and affordable. Winner all around.
for sure. great battery grip that feels very solid. Looks to be a winner.
This is a pretty awesome little accessory at a nice price point.
I might have to pick one up for my rp.
So far I think it’s one of the best options out there.
Battery door fits in the grip so you do not lose it
Hello Cruisn Canada 🇨🇦.
I ran across U and your video commentary by pure accident. I was looking for something else Canon EOS RP related. Yes I have one and I purchase it when they first came out. We get along quite well with each other (the camera). LOL.
Of course when they first came out there was not any type of vertical battery grips on the market for the RP's. I stopped looking and so be it. I ran across your video and it turned me on and I immediately ordered one from Amazon. I should receive it on 3-18-2021. I have been shooting with Canon equipment for over 30 years. Every camera I have had, had a vertical grip. I am quite spoiled with this option. I like the RP very much, now I know I will love it with this grip on it. Thank you for the OUTSTANDING COMMENTARY info. video. 🐢 📷 🐢 📷 🐢 📷
Thanks for the great comment. I dont use the grip a lot as i have a lot of cameras and do a lot of video, but for the days that i need extra battery life this has worked very well. Let us know what you think of it once you get a chance to play with it.
@@gregtoope Thank you for the fast and honest response. I will get back to you on the usage of the grip. 🐢 😀 📷
This grip has a place to put the original battery cover in it, so as not to loose it, and the switch is not for the power of the grip, but only for the secondary shutter button lock.
Where can I place the original cover?
@@kfc8477 On the right side of the grip there is a pocket for battery cover (vertical storage) - there is even an icon (and arrow) for that.
Great video, just what I need but now I’m confused. Is there a cage that can house both the camera and battery pack?
Hi! Thanks for the video. I have this battery grip and it works great, but I lost the cable that comes with it. Do you know if it’s a standard 2.5mm or 3.5mm jack?
Tough call for me, I use the AF lock button a lot which this doesn't seem to have. And relying on a single sd card is sketchy
: Is the Newmowa RP battery Grip the same as the Mcoplus RP battery Grip? (Same Grip different name)?
Do you know of any way to program that shutter button? I use back button focus and primarily my R6M2 but have this as a second body. Going vertical and trying to use the grip has me dead in the water when I back button focus.
I miss the use of a native battery grip with more than a shutter release button.
The cable required to use the grip's shutter in portrait mode is a nuisance. I have two other grips for my 80D and 6DII and neither needs a cable for that function to work. I may end up purchasing one but the cable will never see the light of day.
Very timely review. I just Bought EOS RP. I need more finger space (big hands) but want to keep it light. The Canon grip extender looks good but holy smokes is it over priced.
This grip cost less and the extra battery life is also a big bonus. I have an older T6 Rebel that uses the same battery and for photo it's ok but video was only about 40 minutes to 1 hour before it started blinking (imminent death warning light). I can only hope RP is more efficient and has better battery life. But I doubt it.
Bottom line is how noticibly heavier is the grip? I think I'll get it though 😂 Thanks!
i didn't fi the grip to be overly heavy. But it is carrying 2 batteries. So that adds a little weight. I use it whenever i'm heading out to do a longer shoot
@@gregtoope it's funny how you seem to do reviews for things I'm looking for just in the nick of time. I'm going to order this one, I also bought the Mpow earbuds you recently reviewed. Thanks 👍
Nice. Hope you enjoy the products
it adds two hundred something grams.
Wouldn’t this work on the r10? Considering they take the same batteries…I do realize it did the grip would extend a little bit haha
Canon has an adapter U can charge the single battery inside the camera. (PD-E1) Can U charge both of the batteries in the grip through the EOS-RP charging system?
you can
Cool...but the experience I'm hoping for. I a couple major issues for me, no back button focus, no primary wheel or multifunction, and as you mentioned the sd card removal. Ahh I'd love to have something more integrated.
sadly there just isn't or we would have seen it from Canon. SO if you need extra battery and a grip, this is one of the best and only options.
@@gregtoope yeah man...I hear ya. I can see that because the battery is so small there is no way Canon. Could fir these pins for the grip...it really stinks.
I think the extra weight and grip girth from the same battery as the R would have been an awesome choice for the rp, both in duration and grip options....but it is what it is.
@@KaReEdCa yeah would love to have seen canon make something like that. but I guess they do what they do to keep costs down. Maybe an RP MK2?
Great video! However, after purchasing this grip and using it for a month now I noticed that if you are using canon batteries in the grip, you MUST say that the canon batteries are NOT authentic/compatible or else it will shut off and will not allow you to use the camera for safety reasons. Another point to keep in mind is that the battery indicator is not accurate of how much battery is actually left on the batteries themselves. I found this issue when the grip was in place and it would drain my LPE17 batteries rather quickly. I dont know if anyone else is having this issue, but it is something to keep in mind.
Just a heads up for those interested in using this battery grip since canon does not make a grip for the RP unfortunately!
In addition, if BOTH batteries that you are using inside the grip are not 100% charged, the battery indicator on your screen will show an empty battery, therefore you will not know how much battery life you have left, a weird problem I have noticed in the past month
but does this error message with the batteries appear only if they are not genuine? because I notice in the video that he uses similar batteries, so if I’m using really original batteries, doesn’t that message appear?
@@andrebragamoreira yeah so I use OEM batteries and it does this too
@@Anonymousfishh mine just got here, I called and the video message did not appear, it worked immediately, now I didn’t quite understand the grip on / off button, even in the on and off position it still doesn’t work, is that so?
@@andrebragamoreira do you have the cable attached to it?
You know you can store the RP battery door inside the grip...cheers
aliexpress have many similar grips and the shipping will also be free
Problem is that here in Canada and the US it can take 1-2 months to receive it.
how do you put in your sd card after that grip is on?
You put it in before you put the grip on and have to take the grip off to get the SD card out
In reality, how many shoots is one battery enough for? If without flash and video
between 200-300 i would think.
This grip is better than any I have seen before but still kind of mickey mouse. Having to use that external cable is a no go to me. Somebody somewhere just add the circuitry to use the grip in portrait mode. I would buy in a heartbeat provided it worked.
John Blomeling I don’t know how they would be able to add circuitry to the grip. It would have to be physically added to the camera. Which isn’t doable. This is probably the only option if you want a button for shooting in portrait mode. If the circuitry was available I’m sure Canon would have made an official grip.
Cruisn Canada it’s gotta be available since they make grips for almost all there other cameras
@@codyswartley3006 Canon does not make a grip for the Canon RP
Cruisn Canada oh yeah I know they don’t for the RP. What I meant was the technology and such to officially make one is there. But for some reason they never released one.
@@codyswartley3006 My guess is since they couldn't make it with the portrait trigger (without using a cable) they decided that they wouldn't make it. Not a big loss. This one works very well.
It's an irony as to why we are shifting to mirrorless.. I just carry 2 extra batteries,. it's lighter that way.
I usually do as well. But sometimes you need to have extended runtime where you cant have the camera run out of power. So this can be handy.
I think this is not a good idea as camera may be damaged due to power source.. I expect canon to make such type of accessories and then the similar accessory can compete canon with various brands.
totally disagree. Canon didn't want the RP to be a Pro camera so they did want they could to limit its features as well as to help reduce the price they omitted hardware. When a third party company finds workaround that does not mean that it's going to cause any issues. I've been using this grip and it works great.
@@gregtoope actually RP is more electronically functioning camera so i think it might turn up with any issues .. I've been in a confused state whether to use or not based on functional problem that may occur ...
@@shivakumar-oh9wd well I've experienced no issues and use this and my RP for 1-2 hours per day for the past 3 months.
@@gregtoope okay ...tq
but does this error message with the batteries appear only if they are not genuine? because I notice in the video that you use similar batteries, so if I’m using really original batteries, doesn’t that message appear? it is?
Those batteries when used by themselves dont give any error messages. Pretty sure its because of the grip.
@@gregtoope there is a colleague who left a comment that I should choose not instead of yes, because right after the camera turns on, then I ask you, if it turns off and I put the battery in normal mode, without using the grip, my camera will turn on again again?
@@andrebragamoreira all i can say is that I use it on and off all the time. With canon batteries and with third party and have had zero issues.
mine arrived now, I just received it, I put my batteries, which are original, and he immediately called, he didn't ask me that question he asked in his, now one thing I realized is that the grip on / off button stays on for as long whole, even if I put it in the off position I can turn on the camera, is that so?
