My batt grip failed on me today. Was working fine then the buttons when kaput.. Good thing should still be under warranty. Gonna take back and see what happens
The local distributor is pretty good so you should not have much to worry about bro. Just bring it back and they should sort this out for you.

agree... so far no problem for me to deal with them plenty of nice dude there...
go visit Lau Marketing in High Street Centre Level 2.
if I am not wrong they are having some promotion on carbon fibre tripod as well. say you are from Clubsnap maybe u will get some discount.
How much do u top up for the 51R? Do they accept trade in or wat?
I bought mine recently as slightly used from egnaro. It's the E51R, and the good thing is that the supplier gave him a new and "corrected" unit, before he sold it to me.
I remember he had problems with the battery draining so fast when we had an outing in Sentosa before. Looks like it's been fixed with this unit. So far so good :thumbsup:.
The only thing I find unusable is the 6xAA battery holder MEB-01. I tried putting in 6xAAx2700mah but all i get is a full power battery indicator and a battery empty a few seconds afterwards. But then again, I might be using it wrong, because I just plugged the MEB-01 with the BLM-1. It's no biggie, as I don't see myself using the grip with the external battery holder anyways.
The grip feels stable enough. In fact, I am confident to carry it around slung on an RS strap attached to a flash bracket that is attached to the E51R grip, with the FL-36 flash mounted on the bracket as well.
I'll do a field test of the grip and its battery power this weekend and let you guys know how it goes.

Thanks and hope you enjoy your grip... I believe you can tell that it is almost brand new from store.
haha
Btw I believe you will not be disapointed with the performance. my max shot with the previous grip before change is more than 1.2k with 2x 3rd party batt.

Well i just got one for my E420 at $168 with gst last week at Lau Marketing.. the funny thing was, when i called in last month.. i was informed by this lady who sounds quite annoyed at me for asking her if they still have stock for my model and how much will it cost. She said it was $168 excluding gst. That means its $179++ net! I told her i thought it was for $168 net. She then said in a rude tone "Ya lah gst go to government what! Not me!" So i said thank you and end the call.
However last week was different, i called in again for the sake of calling and was this time answered by a lady called Linda. She was very nice and quote the cost to me at $168 with gst. With that i asked her to reserve a set for me and got it that very day. Only thing now is the ir remote is not working. *darn* I hope i can get it fixed since its still under warranty.
