Cheap NP-E3 clones

[ThatPhilBrettGuy]

Anybody found some? About £56 is the cheapest I've found so far. I'm sure the Canon ones are madly expensive.

They're the batteries for 1D/1Ds etc

The Canon ones run at about £100 (Luckily Purdys gave me a free one with my 1dmkii) I would be very careful with the clones as there has been a lot of reports of poor fitting and not having a weather seal so be careful. Just one thing though, have you flattened a battery yet?, I covered a rally on Saturday and got most of the bike meeting on Sunday out of one battery, probably about 4000 shots from the one charge.


Cheers

No! It does seem to go one forever doesn't it? I've got a few 3 day trips coming up and I didn't really want to lug the charger if I didn't have too.

Hi Phil,

Ive got a cheap one £27 IIRC. It vastly outperforms the standard one. Ill dig out the details and email you.
