DSTE Replacement for Pro Wireless Remote Control DMW-BGG1 Vertical Battery Grip Compatible Panasonic Lumix DMC-G80 DMC-G85 G80 G85 Digital Camera as DMW-BLC12

Like others wrote, this is a very well made unit, feels great in your hands, and the controls operate very well. Placed on the G85, the combined unit is a hot unit, indeed! Still smaller and lighter than any full frame. But impressive and looks/feels very pro (which I am).The remote is a great addition. It is of the flimsier ilk, not very pro. But as a pro, if it breaks I will just buy a new one. It came in really handy doing some youtube self video work. It allowed me to start and stop recording while standing on set.NOW THE PART TO READ!!!Soon after getting the G85 I realized the battery life really paled compared to my old DSLR. But I ordered more batteries and got over it. A few months later I noticed the battery was dying with little to no use, in just a couple of days. Then literally overnight. EVEN WITH THE CAMERA OFF!So I contacted Panasonic for repair. It was determined though, that the camera was fine, and the grip was the issue. I realized that I was not careful to turn the grip to OFF. It is the same on/off slider I had on a 3rd party (Velo) grip for my Canon, which never had any effect on battery (only on the vertical controls being enabled or not). But I realized that this unit had a remote, and that may make a difference.When I started turning the grip to OFF, I made an improvement, but still was fickle, so I contacted the support for DSTE, the maker of the unit. I have to say, their response was prompt, polite, and they immediately offered to ship a replacement. It arrived a few days later. MIND YOU: THIS WAS ALL MONTHS AFTER WARRANTY.Now, I have not had a chance to test the replacement. But as no one else mentioned this issue,I’m going on record here to assume all will be fine. And I want to applaud the company for, A) a such well made product (even with a hiccup or two), and B) great customer support. I would buy from them in a heartbeat.
