No battery grip for the R8 or RP.

The question is if this is also compatible with the R8.

There is an extension for the R8. I saw it being used in one of the reviews I watched. It has no function other than extending the base an inch or so.

The item below is listed as an accessory for the both the RP and the R8 on the Canon website. https://www.usa.canon.com/shop/p/extension-grip-eg-e1?color=Red&type=New

It's pure speculation on my part, but since the Canon Extension Grip EG-E1 will work with the R8, it seem like the  Vello battery grip for the RP would also work with the R8.
