T7i battery grip

Blue_Road — Mon, 12 Oct 2020 23:17:08 GMT

Bought my wife a T7i last summer to do some videos and pictgures for her etsy store front.

Does Canon make a battery grip for the T7i? Wikll the gripo fore the D80 work?

Thanks

Negative, Canon does not make battery grip for the T7i, which is one of my pet peeves against it. The camera is not designed to use a battery grip, either. So, any third party grips that you might see out there should be avoided.

Vello's is the BG-C15-2. B&H carries it in stock. It also fits the EOS 77D. A lot lower cost than a Canon-brand grip would be.

Vello is a good company. I have used their grips. Grips are simple devices....switches and a battery holder. If they say it works, I'd presume it does.

The odd thing is it uses a cable to connect the shutter release, rather than there being internal contacts to mate grip to camera inside the battery compartment. No big deal though.
