After shooting about 6,000 of mostly sports/action pics since getting my 60D a few months back, I decided it was time for a battery grip. A Canon grip would have been ideal, but they were pretty expensive for what they were. Reviews for the Meike grip were overall very favorable, and at about $35 I figured it was worth the small investment.
I unboxed it and was surprised to see it come well-packed and in a very professional-looking box. Some of the Amazon reviews said that orders from this particular vendor sometimes came in off packaging. Not this one, and absent was the harsh smell of rubber/plastic some reviews complained about.

I tried out all the buttons, and all are very responsive with good fit and finish. Trying the grip out tomorrow at a LAX game, so it will be battle tested there. For now, though, it appears to be as good as advertised (knock on wood).
