Well, it happened.

Just messing around with my 5D mkII for the day when i decide tonight to pack all my gear away as im off working tomorrow for a few weeks.

Started to remove the battery grip and it wont come off, looks like the threads have stripped inside the BG-E6 grip. So it is now stuck to the camera body and im seriously annoyed with it.

First my 13 month old pc decides to destroy the motherboard and now this, it never rains but it pours.

Rant over.

That sucks but what's so bad about having a Grip? I never take off my Grip. for what? lol

Yeah thats why im not going crazy, i always use my grip but there are times i take it off. Just a pain that its stuck on right now.

I hate to tell ya, but these things come in three's. Be worried.. be very worried! j/k.

Sorry about your run of bad luck... happens to the best of them.

A dead mobo beats a dead hard drive.

Hi there,

This happened to our 5d2 as well.......really annoying as I use it ungripped but my husband uses it with the grip on.

I took it to Canon and they fixed it pretty quick, as far as I remember they did it FOC as well
