Markus Brosch > Canon BG-E4 versus Camdapter Together with my 5D I bought the vertical grip (BG-E4); handy for vertical shots, for attaching a hand strap like the Canon E1 and doubling the battery life. Well, why did I get rid of the vertical grip ? I try(!) to do a lot of street photography. First thing people ask me when I get into conversations: "Whom do you work for?". After a while I realized why they ask me this with the 5D & grip, but never did with the little Olympus E-510 I had before: simply because of its sheer size. For the sake of a smaller footprint, I got rid of the grip today and instead attached a Camdapter. The Camdapter allows to attach a hand strap and the neck strap, comes as a standard tripod adapter (e.g. Acra-Swiss or Really Right Stuff) and is made specifically for various camera types, so it snugly fits the body. I also used a black waterproof marker and got rid of the white CANON on the camera and on the camera neck strap :) The result: I believe the system looks less sophisticated. Vertical shots are still possible, however, without the extra comfort of the vertical grip. I will have to test it now in real life :)
