By H Staples
Yes it adds extra weight but balances the camera out nicely with long tele lens. Combine this unit with the Power2000 LP-E6 replacement batteries and you can easily shoot 500+ images without having to recharge. Extra nice option is the AA battery carrier included so you always have a back-up.Make sure you attach your camera strap to the bottom of the grip instead of leaving it on the right side of the camera. It stays out of your way when attached to the bottom of the grip PLUS it lets the camera hang lens down which is a nice thing.

By Dracorex
I must say, this product is fantastic!! You pay for QUALITY. Very rugged & feels it was built to last!It does add a bit of weight to it, but for me, it balances the whole camera out especially if you have a huge telephoto lens on there.After using it for quite a while, you will get used to the weight and just holding makes you feel like the camera is more solid!It comes with 2 magazines. One of which holds 2 LP-E6 batteries and the other holding 4 AA batteries. Also comes with a little pouch for holding the other magazine while the other is in use!I'm glad I purchased it. And I hope this review helps you decide!

By Joshua D. Washburn
The battery grip appears to be made of the same rubber and plastic as the EOS 60D, so the two pair up very nicely. My kit lens (18-135mm) causes the whole unit to lean forward slightly when sitting on the table. I am sure the stability would vary depending on the weight of your lens.I seriously considered purchasing a 3rd party battery grip, but I kept coming across so many bad reviews ("doesn't function properly," "smells bad," "rubber is peeling off," etc.)When I first inserted the batteries into the BG-E9's tray and attached the grip to my 60D, one of the batteries was not recognized. After removing the batteries and reinserting them, the camera recognized both batteries. The extra tray for 6-AA batteries is a nice feature. However, I read that the 6-AA tray is to be used under emergency situations, not on a regular basis. There is even a nice bag for whichever tray you are not currently using.Supposedly you can get up to 800 shots per battery (when not using "Live View").You get what you pay for. Canon's stuff isn't cheap, but it works great!BOOK RECOMMENDATIONFor someone new to DSLRs, like me, I would highly recommend David Busch's book David Busch's Canon EOS 60D Guide to Digital SLR Photography, that is if you own a Canon 60D. It has been VERY helpful to me.UPDATE - 11/06/2011I am not sure where I read the stats about battery life. Maybe you get 800 shots per battery when you ARE using "Live View." Recently I took about 7,000 shots at a 2 day volleyball and soccer tournament. I charged both Canon batteries before the tournament. Both batteries still had close to 50% juice left after all those shots. Wow!
