If it seems too good to be true, AND it's shipping from China, then it's probably a knockoff.

This was prevalent for Nikon grips, batteries, etc. too.

Note in the description:

" FREE ePacket delivery from China"

And then from the feedback page, the following negative feedback from another buyer:

"Not genuine. The seller says it's 'New original genuine' but it's a counterfeit."

So yup, if it sounds to good to be true, it is...

Look at promaster grips if you want quality but affordable

The poor English is a big red flag as well.



As well as the overuse of the word 'for' and total lack of words like "OEM" and "genuine".
