text: I was very excited to get this. I've actually been reading and considering buying one for months. It came yesterday. As I put it on and tightened it something on the screw snapped so now its permanently stuck on my camera. I didn't have time to mess with it because I had an engagement I was hired to shoot. Made sure my batteries were charged and headed out. I was very impressed with how much more natural it made my camera feel..... but... and this is a big but. 2 hours into my event and both the batteries had died. I had to leave my event go all the way home and get my 2 spare batteries... long story short I lost time, money and photo opportunities. I wouldn't recommend this product just for what it cost me. So now I'm stuck with it on my camera and draining batteries unusually fast.
