As i wasnt too sure if the battery grip fits into where the standard battery goes, which would mean i only need one additional battery rather than 2. Canon EOS 450D DSLR, Battery Grip BG-E5,canon EFS 18-55mm IS Kit lense, Canon 50mm 1.8, Tamron 70-300mm. Cokin P Series Holder: CP/UV/4 star/ND Kit

Dec 17, 2006 10:30 | #2 you have to remove the battery from the 350d, then remove the little door that holds the battery in place. then the battery grip fits inside the camera and secures from underneath. then you can use one or two batterys in the grip. beaware that if you use one battery it has to go in the slot that says one. 2x Canon 1D MkIII, Canon 70-200mm f/2.8L IS, Sigma 24-70mm f2.8, Canon 17-40mm f4,Sigma 10-20mm, Canon EF 24-105mm f4 L IS USM, 2x Canon 580 EX Flash,Yongnuo 565 Flash, Lowepro Magnum AW, Lowepro belt system.

It would make more sense to use 2 batterys, last twice as long. I have the original canon battery and 4 others. The others are in my opinion better, for a start there alot cheaper and mine are 1000mAh rather than the canons 720mAh. They can be charged off your charger. For some reason i never mix them in the battery grip. Not sure how much the canon battery is but i paid £10 each for the copies. MY PHOTOS

What we see depends mainly on what we look for.
