AeroSmith Goldmember  More info | Oct 31, 2018 12:47 | #1 How on earth is the extended grip for the EOS R, the BG-E22, a full $200 more than the grip for the 5D4, the BG-E20?!? They both hold the same exact batteries. Josh Smith

Not even close from what I recall. The 5D4 grip launched at around $350 max if memory serves, but this new grip is $490! http://www.colorblindedphoto.com

It was probably that much for the early adopters but quickly fell to a more reasonable price much like the cameras themselves. If I remember when the 5DIV came out it was somewhere about 4k but within weeks fell a few hundred and within 6 months you could find deals saving a lot more then a few hundred.

There's been griping over the steady price increases for the grip every generation at least in the 5D series. http://www.colorblindedphoto.com
