Recommendations

The grip is intended for use with Canon EOS 60D and compatible battery types only. Use quality rechargeable LP-E6 or AA batteries for best performance. Remove batteries when storing the grip long-term. Ensure the mounting screw is tightened to avoid intermittent contact, but do not overtighten to prevent damaging the camera’s tripod socket.
