Hi guys,

I'm looking for a Battery Grip for 1200D/Kiss X70/T5. I checked the internet and there are some Battery Grips (none Canon Manufacturer) being sold. I'm not sure with them since no comments were posted. So if somebody here was able to buy and tried using it for a long time, can you recommend it to me? Thanks!

Regards!

A quick check with the 1200D manual (pages 276 & 277) indicates that Canon do not manufacture a battery grip for the 1200D meaning that the only grips available are manufactured by third parties. This means that there will be no provision for additional controls on the battery grip and any sort of shutter button will have to be connected to the the camera with an external cable. The same is also true of the 100D/SL1.
