Hersmay EOS R8 Battery Grip Vertical Power Battery Grip for Canon EOS R8 RP EOS-RP DSLR Camera, Battery Holder for 2X LP-E17 Battery, Replace for Canon BG-C18

Functional, reliable, fits the Canon R-8 perfectly, and will even challenge the Batteries (if they're of poor grade).

The camera grip is perfect there is no more need to have one battery in the charger and both batteries are in the grip and it has a remote also now you can shoot all day and all night if need be

its impractical and thats all I'm going to say about it

It’s perfect grip for my canon R8 . It fit Great . I like it give me a lot of space to hold my camera . And also, you can add two more Barry instead of one . So I give you more time to shot a pictures

when holding the camera sideway, the button on the grip does not trigger the shutter- it would be fantastic if it actually worked.

I think adding a battery grip to the Canon EOS R8 makes a lot of sense both for vertical shooting and effectively doubling the battery life. If you have large hands, the extra size and heft with the battery grip in place is a positive. I use two genuine Canon batteries in my grip. The grip is attached by removing the battery cover from the Canon R8 (it stores in the grip) and then attaching the grip with the locking wheel at the rear of the grip. Batteries are inserted at the rear of the grip and locked into place. There is an included control cable that plugs into the front of the grip (right side looking at the front of the camera & grip) and then into the remote control ⅛" plug under cover of the same camera. If you have a problem with the camera recognizing the presence of two batteries try insert one, and after that one is recognizing by the camera, inserting the second. There is a vertical shooting button on the front of the grip. The Hersmay grip does not have all the versatility or convenience of the Canon grip but it is functional for a fraction of the price of the Canon version. You do have to remove the battery grip to access your memory card. You can ameliorate this inconvenience somewhat by downloading your images wirelessly or by using higher capacity memory cards. Recommended with those caveats.

Not the best battery grip I've owned, it has a switch for turning it off and on, I wish it had an auto off feature as I was going to take pictures at christmas but had left the switch on and the batteries had drained. Luckily I was able to pull the grip off and put an extra battery in the camera itself. Still, not a bad deal.
