That's my concern too. You wouldn't want it to break through at the base (around the battery door) while supporting a heavier lens.
I was out a few hours with my Canon 300mm F2.8 L today, and it´s quite heavy,
Quite cold winterday also, -8 celcius, and there´s no problem with the grip at all.
I am thinking of doing my next 2 weeks hike with em5+12-60, if the weight is low i am tempted by this grip.
2 oz, per the manufacturer's web site. I put one of these on my Christmas list, so either Santa will deliver one in a few days or I'll be ordering my own on the 26th...
Just 'pre-ordered' one as they said they're out of stock. Says shipping the 28th. I was going to go with the Oly grip, which I may get as well, but figured this was cheap enough to 'try' and then if I don't like I won't be out that much. Excited to get it!
I do miss having an actual shutter (will take some getting used to, only because I did have the original grip until recently)
That would be my concern too. The Olympus grip has the shutter release on the grip, which falls to hand perfectly. This one looks like it would be a bit awkward to use, with your other three fingers pushed further forward on the grip. I'd be interested to know how you find it in use, after using the Olympus grip.
