Thanks to both of the previous respondents for their views. I, however, have always purchased 3rd party grips for my Canon cameras and have never been disappointed by their performance. Yes, I spent $3800 for the R5, but that's because it will be my only FF camera body. Thus, I'll use it all the time. A battery grip, however, is something I only use when on those occasions when I need extended battery life, such as long duration night shots.

Over a year later, I comment...

I also have never had a problem with 3rd party batt grips...

And, as I shoot time lapses often, I just bought two old, used grips for my 5D IV and 7D II...$44, including shipping!!

I'll have to break down and spend $350 for an R5 grip, it seems....
