That's a great idea! I have an old Contax RTS II camera which I haven't used in years. I never thought to use the strap from it and marry it to my 5D3!

thanks for the welcome mate! My orders are clear! It is to manned the CANON and shoot anything that moves and that doesn't move!

---------

I can see now the differences. ISO, colours, ergonomics, noiseless image... I say... it is to my liking......

What's your say about L-bracket...for battery grip or without? How many of you all used the battery grip?

 

[HVB88]

I dont use VG coz it will become heavier... Maybe it is just me..

Do we really need that extra battery?

I own and have used the battery grip for the 5D3. I'm not a big fan of it... so for the most part the battery grip remains in storage.

I didn't have the grip but I would kike to use one though. For vertical shooting. Else i do feel my wrist hurts after much vertical shooting. But 1 battery inside is enough.

I have one, been using it since day 1. Vertical shooting is the best using this.
As for batteries, I been using 2 since the grip allowed. The good part is I did not have to recharge my batteries during my trip to thailand for 5 days. The main issue is the weight, It weigh around 1 kg.

At first i thought VG is not important, as i turn my cam and thats it. Then i bought a 3rd party grip.. 120sgd.. Use it like a charm.. Initially, it was heavy, after some time.. U will find that ur hand is bulkier.. Hahahaha... Work out!!!

P.s that only happen to right hand.. Hhaha

 

[nikoneer]

I think 1 good reason to buy a third party VG is the weight since it is made of plastic. I am saving to get mine, chromage brand from RDP.

 

[iamseanism]

Anyone using 3rd party VG with any L-bracket?

 

[Zeisser]

When shooting film using my Contax RTSIII with a built in winder have felt at that time the grip was
not as sturdy especially when using the MET60CT4 Flash with bracket.Fabricated a 'grip' to have better
hand grip when using the flash for better support.

When I got my mk3, I never thought I would use it to shoot sports. Took it out to Kallang Softball Diamonds earlier today and was thoroughly impressed by the AF tracking.
