Trigger Happy said:thanks bro, will see if anyone's selling it at the IT fair tomorrow since i'm headed there. any progress or thoughts on the extra np400 battery in the grip yet?
Trigger Happy said:no, i mean the np400 battery we use in the 5d. will it fit in the grip? btw, to make the grip really useful (for the spare battery or not), how about integrating a wireless remote into the grip's cavity? then the bp200 will provide vertical shutter release plus housing for a wireless remote.km5d users will then have 3 ways to shoot

muko said:smtan how you make the BP200 stick with your body...
it seems the tripod mount is not strong enough to hold it...
you DIY that one also? add thin rubber...?smtan24 said:The BP200 I have has some small rubber stopper on it. Similar to the type you use under your chair only smaller. As for the tripod mount its OK. I took picture of the Fullerton Hotel at Night no problem.

Now i'm trying to make a focus lock button on the BP200...
muko said:i wonder if have any other battery that can give 7.4 volt.
any lithium battery or rechargeable pack battery...
if someone can give more info about the circuit inside (schematic diagram)
i can really do a lot.
but so far..
ummm...
ldft said:How about some other camera battery with a smaller mAh rating, or 2 x 3.7 volt cammera batteries? Just went to the Eastgear web-site and there are a few that look promissing.
actually it might be just fine....TME said:Not advisable to connect a differently-rated battery to your 7D/5D...

smtan24 said:As long as the total voltage is the same it's OK. The mAh rating refers to how much current can be supplied in one hour.
Trigger Happy said:see TME's post - i think he's right about mixing more than one battery, as all batteries discharge at different rates even if its same brand/ batch. it there's a single unit that can fit in the cavity AND matches the np400 (or current OEMs) it should be a lot safer. yes/no?
Trigger Happy said:ah.. thanks for the enlightenment.so have you figured out what compatible battery fits in the bp200 cavity yet? haven't had time this week but likely will visit CP early next week to get the bp200.
