I have EOS 5D Mk II and Mk III They use the same batteries. G6. Why won't the grip work with models?

The body styles are different (slightly) and some function buttons have shifted in the new design so the battery grip won't fit the MkIII.

Yes, the vello grip works great with my 5D III. All the functions work just as it would on the Canon OEM grip.

It depends on which Canon camera you have. I tried my daughter's T3i and it fit. It might be kind of tight for an EOS 5D. The interior is adjustable so you shouldn't have any problems. I don't own a battery grip, but it looks like it will accommodate that as well.

I'm certain it won't fit with the grip. I usually have my 5D MK II with the 17-40 f4L mounted (with hood on forwards even) and it fits nicely. If I unzip the bottom expander, I can have a 70-200 f4L mounted (but the hood needs to be reversed). Either way, I don't see the grip fitting.

Be sure to check compatibility. Or ggl and ask battery grip for Canon Mark III.

Yes. I have the 6D with the aftermarket (non-canon) battery grip, and the batteries work fine. First few times, worked without a hitch. The last time I used them, however, I was getting an error on one of them (the error that occurs when you use non-cannon battery...camera asks if you want to use anyway, but without info on battery). Swapped the batteries around, and the error moved with the battery. Assuming one of them is acting up. They are still working, and providing a LONG time between battery changes/charges; just unable to report battery life on one of them right now. I haven't bothered to look into the issue. For the price, i could easily just buy another one. Yes. I have the 6D with the aftermarket (non-canon) battery grip, and the batteries work fine. First few times, worked without a hitch.

I have the old version of these with the orange buttons that lasted me for years and worked fine with the 5D Mark I & II. This version however does not seem to do anything. Both remotes turn on but I'm not even sure they are communicating with each other, so either mine are DOA or not compatible with 5D Mk II

As long as the batteries you have are for a 40D they will work in the grip. And yes ypu can use two different manufacturer type at the same time. Enegizer is a great battery as well.

As far as I can determine, it doesn't fit the 5D Mark III. I would suggest calling Canon's 800 number or contacting them via email. I could see no reference on their website other than it fitting the 5D (it didn't list any of the succesors such as the 5D MKII or MKIII.

Sorry, answered too quickly. 6D compatibility shouldn't be an issue. It has a lock function that works optionally... slide forward to lock, don't slide to use normally (... like the on camera shutter button.)

Yes, you have to use 2 standard batteries that came with the camera. Or you can use 8 AA batteries with the adapter that comes with the grip.

No, it will not. You need the BG-E16. The BG-E7 ONLY works with 7D Mk1.Canon Battery Grip BG-E16

I have no idea, but they were the only non-oem LP-E6 batteries that I could find that worked in my 7D AND my 6D. It's probably better to wait until the 70D is actually released as Canon seems to change the coding on batteries sporadically from model to model even though they use the same battery physically. The 70D does look like it's going to be a mighty fine instrument. Good luck.

It depends on the battery manufacturer. Some of the non-Canon brand LPE6 batteries, such as those made by Wasabi and Maxtek, work fine. I've generally avoided unbranded batteries (if they won't proudly put their company's name on the battery, what else did they lowball?), but some of the unbranded LPE6's work just fine alongside Canon's, with full readouts (left and right batteries), etc. I generally pair two batteries from the same manufacturer in the multi-power grips for my EOSes. Really necessary for cold weather work, too.

No. You need to get a different model for your camera 5D Mark III uses BG-E11. Your camera manual has Canon tech support phone number to assist you. The battery grip vary from model to model, so double check before purchasing.

This should because a 6D is basically the same as a t3i which is what I have and I use it with mine.

I don't believe so. The pinouts on the Canon BG-E13 grip for the 6D and the BG-E14 for the 70D look physically the same and the two cameras take the same LP-E6 battery but the cameras themselves have different dimensions and a grip made for one may not conform to the shape of the other. http://www.eos-magazine.com/articles/power/Resources/Battgrip-table-2013.pdf is a good compatibility table outlining which Canon battery packs and battery grips fit into which Canon SLR and, for most Canon battery products there are equivalent aftermarket items.
