60D to an 80D

Planning to purchase an 80D and wondering if the battery grip from the 60d will fit on the 80d?

Will other accessories work as well such as remote trigger?

Thanks

Probably not; different P/N's to start. The 60D grip is a BG-E9 and the 80D is a BG-E14, which is common to both the 70D and 80D.

By the way, what do you expect to gain with the 80D grip? It has phenomenal battery life w/o the grip.

Even with great battery life, the extra longevity of two is something I like. Additionally, I shoot portrait style periodically and it’s nice to have the grip and controls easily available.

Well, Canon says you should be able to get about 1200 shots on a charge and using CIPA ratings you should be able to get slightly over 900. Even if I only get 750 shots, I'm happy as I would rarely if ever have that need.

I have both cameras, had a 60D grip, and personally prefer a wrist strap on both cameras as opposed to the weight of the grips.
