3rd Party Grip...

Anyone seen this one of these before? Anyone have one? Just curious as to what they thought. Made by Jenis Co. They supposably have a grip for each of the models.

The one for the 400D looks like the top part is oriented the wrong way. The one for the 350D looks closer to what a 400D should be. May be just a goof up in the pics though.

I'd like to know what's displayed in the window and what all those extra buttons do.

"Offer stable holding, Can accommodate two lithium and six AA batteries, Provide Super exposal control functions, there are two line as vertical shutter solely "

Doesn't look like it was proofread very well either.

No prices on the site???? Where would you buy it?

Looks just like this oneI think.

The ebay grips says this:

Date/time/stopwatch function

That site looks extremely shady.... I would think a few times before ordering from them.

i would recommend you get the oem one instead. no issue with comparability then.

I had seen a picture with one attached to someones camera and it looked like it displaye the F/stop and exposure....but there is no indication on their website that the digital function is nothing more than a timer or a clock. They sell them on Ebay and another site locally here in Chicago.... i was just curious as well about what was displayed. According to the Jenis website, I guess the maker, their new models will have WIFI in them to transmit your picture data off of the CF card located in the grip.

Stick with the Canon in my opinion, more money but at least your getting the right piece of equipment.

Looks like what you are looking for is here.
Don't be put off by the pictures, (the sites got it mixed with the d80 grip by the same manufacturer) -

it seems apparently one guy bought one and has put a mini review on the page.

i'm thinking about getting one, and it's a pretty neat price... just thinking about why it doesn't mention 'dual LIon battery packs' ..?

I have been looking at grips lately, and the Jenis looks pretty decent. My local camera shop sells them. The shop, which is a really good/quality shop, stocks the Jenis, and special orders the BG-E2N. They have been having problems getting the oem on a regular basis.

Another note -- I would not be surprised if the Jenis and the Canon oem were made by the same manufacturer. They look very similar -- same mold marks, buttons, almost everything. The batteries load a bit differently, but other than that, I'd swear they were the same.

I am quite interested in that grip as well. Looks to be really good, but I would love to hear some user reviews from people here on it, before I put money down for one.

i ordered one of these yesterday for my XTI: http://www.dealextreme​.com/details.dx/sku.11​228 - i'll let you know how it goes/feels/works when it comes.

I got this for my 400D. Just as good as the Canon version in my opinion, it is built quite well. And for the price, it is a good pick up.
