I have the Canon grip with the new LP-E6N batteries. Everything works as it should.

I took it back to the store. We tried another grip. Still didn't work. So we tried both BNIB grips on a BNIB 7D II. None of them worked. Bad batch perhaps.

Which lens were you using?

Looks like the MFA is much better dialed in. Most of your shots have a centered (front back) focal plane Witt the subject in the middle.
Very nice shots. Hopefully you won't have to second guess the camera any more.
Enjoy.

Thanks Guy. I think it is slightly back focusing still besed on some shots from today but I am getting it much closer though. Second guessing is going, going... and gone.

You see it is a little off on this shot, but not bad. Although a solid colored object may not be the best subject to go off of.

Does anyone else own the grip? I just picked one up today and I can't get the camera to turn on. I've turned on the switch on the side of the grip as well as the camera. Could I be overlooking something? Both batteries are the LP-E6 and are fully charged.

Have you tested it with the old LP-E6 battery/ies? Or just the new LP-E6N?

I have the grip and it works fine for me. New batteries, old batteries and third party batteries no problems. Sorry to hear you are having an issue.

Great shots everybody. Glad to see that some are overcoming their issues and wish the best to those still working their way through.

Got my copy yesterday from the local store (MPEX), I believe they had 3 or so bodies in stock, apparently they are still in a bit of short supply.

If you are asking me, I borrowed a friends nifty fifty. I think my next investment will be the 85 1.8, but wouldn't you know, as soon as I buy my camera, my 17-55 quits working so now my money is going towards fixing it lol

Using it currently with one LP-E6N and one LP-E6. According to battery info, it's using both. It's been said the 7D2 can handle the old LP-E6. I don't see why the grip would be any different.

FWIW, I have not really missed my nifty-fifty since I sold it a few years ago with my T3i. However, I will never part with my 85 1.8, such a great lens.

Finally did some night shots, should have tried yesterday, but I had a few things to do in town. The Live view AF left me speechless, although I must admit that trying to figure out how to use the AF on-site, while reading the PDF manual on my iPod was hardly a good idea.

I can understand that! Nice shots though. I was just flying on Air Buses almost exactly like those recently. US Airways. Four flights in a week. I don't do that too often. Just visiting someone.

I was never impressed with the Nifty-Fifty on the 40D. The focus would hunt quite a bit and it was just about a manual focus lens. A pretty good manual focus lens but not used all that much. I have yet to dig it out and try it on the 7D2.

Kick off sequence showing the AF and tracking. His kick offs many times ends up in the endzone. This young man is also the QB.

I am still dialing in the 500 with The II. I still think there's a slight front focusing going on. I may up it by +2 to see how it goes.

The II (1.6 crop factor) and 500 is too long for football causing me to miss some TD shots. So, I will use the 300 2.8, with and without the 1.4x, this weekend, which should be a perfect setup.

Figured that is what you were using due to the strong CA off of the light reflection on the mirror, it wasn't listed in your sig, but given the aperture you mentioned and the CA in the shot that was my guess.
