Neewer Vertical Battery Grip Replacement For BG-E8 Compatible with Canon 550D / 550D /600D / Rebel T3i / Kiss X5 / Rebel T2i / Kiss X5 The Canon BG-E8 Battery Grip is the proper battery grip for the Canon EOS Rebel T2i / 550D DSLR and the Canon EOS Rebel T3i / 600D DSLR. The nice thing about Canon DSLRs without a built-in portrait/vertical grip (all non-1-Series bodies at this time) is that they are small and light.
