For the price I would guess it is plastic!

I don't hate macs or OSX, I hate people and statements that portray them as better than anything else. Macs are A solution, not THE solution. Get a good desktop i7 with Windows 7 and come tell me that sucks for photo or video editing.

Overall, I'm pretty happy with it for the price I paid... If I go on some really rugged shoots in 6-12 months and want a more sturdy grip I might go for the Canon, but for the $100 I paid for it I'm more than happy. I wrote a little mini review here: 5d Mk II + Meike Grip l Canon 24-105mm f4L l Canon 85mm f1.8 l Contax Carl Zeiss 100mm f2 Planar T* l Sigma 50mm f1.4 EX DG |Sennheiser MKE-300 Microphone l Carl Zeiss Distagon T* 35mm f2 ZE l
