phottix camera grip and 5dmk2

[benny g]

hey all....

just a question for anyone that may use this combo....

is there a way to tell how much battery life is left seeing that the camera does not "communicate" with the grip itself ( but lets you use it???).

slighlty doing my little head in...

thanks a heap

benny.
