Why $450 for a batter grip? An why so much more for accessories?

I hadn't thought about it until some one raised the issue but without a touch bar or a joy stick, like on the 5D Mark IV grip, how easy is it going to be to focus the camera via the touch screen if you use a grip?
Will my thumb be able to reach across the grip and use the touch screen effectively? I guess that is an experiment I will have to try with my 5D Mark IV to see if that is viable.

The grip has both the main dial and the quick control dial.
According to the manual you can use these to move the AF point vertically/horizontally.
I will check the manual. I just downloaded it.

5655 af points is 87H X 65V (centre +/-43, centre +/-32) so it's a lot of clicks. ( assuming 1 click is one point move).
Good to see there is the standard Main Dial near the shutter button as expected but also the Quick Dial duplicated that is around the mode button.

Holy Stone produces dozens of low-cost drone models aimed at consumers. We look at the HS710 and HS175D to see if they stack up to other sub-250g offerings. Are these secretly great or more like toys?
It's small, light, cheap and extremely wide but is it any good?
