Speaking of grips, I'm looking to buy one for my T2i but I don't want to pay $220 for the Canon version. Can anyone recommend a decent, 3rd-party, chinese knock-off?

I have a Meike grip I bought last summer for $25 and it's been working flawlessly.

Are there any big downsides to getting off-brand QR plates and clamps as opposed to RRS / Kirk stuff? I was looking at this clamp and a plate off Amazon and they look to be built similarly to brand ones that are easily double the price.

The cheaper universal plate may be fine if you don't use the tripod all that often or only have one body though.

Yeah, since I only have a gripped T2i I was planning to get that plate and screw the clamp into my black-rapid strap so I didn't have to disassemble the entire thing every time I wanted to use my tripod.
