external battery pack for Canon 10D?
Other than the canon bg-ed grip (which houses two canon batteries), are
there external battery pack for the 10D? Or is there a way to rig one myself? The hardest part is attaching the wires to the camera, since it does not have a plug/jack for external power. |

Not sure why you wouldn't want the Canon grip. It give a great grab on the
camera, both horizontally, and vertically! It even has another release button, when used vertically. Bill Crocker "peter" wrote in message news:Os_0d.5878$%O5.4378@trnddc07...

The hardest part is attaching the wires to the camera, since it does not have a plug/jack for external power. I've got an external battery pack for mine which is a belt-mounted lead-acid battery that attaches to the camera through the battery compartment, with a little cable snaking out to the belt pack. Works fine, and will power my flash, a 400mm IS lens, and the 10D for around 1000 shots before I need to plug it in. If this arrangement interests you, I can go down to the garage and find the manufacturer. -- Richard W Kaszeta http://www.kaszeta.org/rich |

Please do, and also, how much did you pay for it? Has it been reliable?

It's a "Quantum Turbo" battery from Quantum Instruments (www.qtm.com), with adapter bits for both BP-511 batteries and a half-dozen or so flash adapters (I use a Metz one). It's about 4lbs, and it's been very reliable. I bought both of mine from a coworker for a below-market price, but I've seen them for under $200 on E-bay. Let me know if you don't find one from qtm.com or ebay, if my spare one works I might part with it. -- Richard W Kaszeta http://www.kaszeta.org/rich |
