Well. The ggs is only less than 10 dollars, works well because it uses the same style of adhesive as the canon

sg shop sells for ~20 so ebay cheaper I guess?

24-70 has better distortion control than UWA like 16-35 or 17-40 whether it is mark 1 or 2. We also have to control our composition/angle at wider end if u want free of distortion especially for group shots.

What do you mean by "a full of distortion"?
Judging from the online reviews (read few threads before this for the YouTube link), Servo AF for the 6D is not as fast compared to Nikon's D600. So may not suit you as more misses than hits expected.

But the 6D is better when it's sleeping at night and you don't want to use any AF assist.
The D600 will just fail.

I think its more of a slower FPS and less AF points that puts 6D at a disadvantage based on specifications for sports/action. If I could track F1 cars with the older 5D2, don't see why the 6D can't track/AF on fast moving kids. Just use the centre AF point properly and you will see good results.
just to add that I rarely use all the auto AF points provided by the camera in AF Servo mode as the camera will tend to lock focus on the part of the subject that is nearest to you, which may be the arm/leg instead of the face you want to be in focus, hence a good centre AF is more impt for me

Each has its strengths and weaknesses, depending on application & personal preferences.
Canon's servo AF must start with the centre AF point. So a slight handshake movement may throw the AF out of focus as the periphery AF points may not lock the subject. If not mistaken, the 6D has AF points bunched closer together than the more expensive counterparts, which is spread wider apart, hence when tracking moving subjects, the 6D may prove to be struggling.
The 5D2 has additional invisible AF points that may aid in servo AF tracking, but no mention was made for 6D. Myself is also a centre AF user 99% of the time.

otherwise how? 6d implementation of servo AF is vastly different and revolutionary from its peers?
is 6D's AF sufficient to capture moving kids via its continuous AF mode?

Ok. I really have not used a Canon 6D before, so I can be wrong. But it would be terribly disappointing if a camera like the 6D is incapable to focusing quickly and accurately on "fast-moving kids"?
Perhaps the only weakness of the 6D is the lack of AF-points, but surely you got to be kidding if you have to purchase a Canon 5D Mark III just to get "good shots" of children. I mean. We are talking about children here. Not even agile and lithe monkeys or 100m Olympic sprinters here.
And doesn't the choice of lens play a significant role too? I don't think the AF will be too speedy if you mate it with a Canon 85mm f/1.2L, would it?
Nonetheless, I have conceded that I have not used the 6D before, so I can never know. I have, however, used lesser Canon models and achieved the so-called "fast-moving" kids shots. The hit rate certainly wasn't 100%, but there were definitely more than enough keepers. (And I'm not the sort that blasts 1000 shots per hour kind of guys.)

The 6d can still be used to capture shots with motion despite the lack of wider spaced AF points. just remember to set to release- priority rather than focus- priority in the custom function and chances of keepers increase. Set a reasonably small aperture and iso and should be good to get good shots out of it

I agree with this.
Eighteen months ago I took shots of young fast-moving teenagers playing sports with a Canon 5D Mark I (classic) and a 24-105 lens. As they ran at full speed towards me I used a machine gun style and captured 3 frames per second as they got closer and closer. I was quite impressed with the number of keepers I managed to get with this simple setup. My keeper rate was more than 90%.
Capture kids with a 6D?.... definitely.
