Canon VT Grip

[Fixcinater]

I just bought a grip for the VT trigger winder group of cameras from KEH, of course they don't provide images of the actual item.

How do I know I'm getting the correct grip for the VT/VIT I have here already and not the grip for the earlier Rapid Winders?

Looks like the earlier models had two locating pins on the top whereas the VT style had a small plate that braces against the bottom plate of the camera.

Is it that simple?

Looks like it. I found an old Canon accessories brochure for the Vt and the handgrip looks to have an attachment screw (tripod socket) and a bracket and that's all.

Yes.

The grip supplied with my VT was exactly that, plus the plate has the word "Canon" on it and has a leather wrist strap attached. When attached to the bottom plate, there is a little movement, but there is padding behind the grip's plate to ensure this is limited and that there is no cosmetic damage to the camera.

Hope this helps.

Thank you both. I'll post up a picture once KEH processes my order.
