charles_mason Posted November 28, 2007 Share Posted November 28, 2007 I just bought a used film (!) body, the EOS 1v HS. I'd like to replace the big PB-E2 Power Booster with the small grip that holds CR2s. I talked to Canon's EOS help line today, and was given a erroneous part number. Guess film really is dead. Anyway, I wondered if anyone knows the part number for that smaller, non Power Booster grip (it is the one supplied with the non HS version of the EOS 1v). And second does anyone have one they'd consider selling or know of any dealers who might still have such a critter? Many thanks, Charles Mason Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michael_notar1 Posted November 28, 2007 Share Posted November 28, 2007 vertical grip battery pack http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/86276-REG/Canon_2413A002_Battery_Pack.html the standard grip for the camera....? sell the HS camera and buy the camera and booster separately.... that way you have the options for size/speed.

franklin_polk Posted November 28, 2007 Share Posted November 28, 2007 You're looking for the GR-E2 or the GR-E1, the difference being that the GR-E2 has weather sealing while the GR-E1 doesn't. There is also the BP-E1, which uses a 2CR5 and 4 AA batteries (there is a switch between the two types of battery) and only adds about 1.5 inches to the camera, although it doesn't have a vertical grip.

robin_sibson1 Posted November 28, 2007 Share Posted November 28, 2007 I certainly preferred using my -1V without the PB-E2 for most purposes, and I wish there was a digital equivalent to it. Now all you need to take full advantage of that wonderful camera is the ES-E1 software and cable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

abrepsom1 Posted November 28, 2007 Share Posted November 28, 2007 I'm with Franklin on this one. My absolute favourite was the BP-E1 because it allowed me to use AA cells too and not the expensive CR2, yet it was not as bulky as the PowerBooster. You've got a really great camera there, enjoy it!

remi_lemarchand Posted November 28, 2007 Share Posted November 28, 2007 Be careful though, with the small battery grip, you're going from 10 frames/sec to 3... It's probably fine, but it's good to know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
