Canon EOS Rebel T1i Battery Grip BG-E5 with Extra Battery in Cobble Hill, British Columbia for sale

Selling a used BG-E5 battery grip for Canon T1i (500D) in excellent shape, which is why the price is firm.
Comes with two different inserts - one holds 2 genuine Canon batteries for the T1i (one you already have and the other comes with the grip) and the other holds 6 AA batteries. Equipped with this kit you'll be able to shoot more than a thousand pictures in one session. Think longer trips, weddings, situations where you cannot use the charger but regular AA batteries are available, etc. etc.
The second function of the battery grip is to allow you to hold the camera vertically and still operate it comfortably with the extra buttons on the grip. The camera becomes practically "square", so that the most important buttons are always top right, no matter how you hold it. Indispensable if you do a lot of portrait photography.
This grip has not seen a lot use by the look of it. It looks and feels almost new. The extra battery is used but holds its charge. I noticed no difference between this battery and the one in the camera.
We are in Cobble Hill, but can meet anywhere between Duncan and Langford.
