Power Drive Booster PB-E2
Weight: 484g (without batteries)
Developed together with the Canon
EOS-3 camera to boost its motor
drive performance and attain
maximum shooting speed, Canon’s
Power Drive Booster PB-E2 has
been uniquely designed with a
comfortable grip and controls for
both horizontal and vertical
shooting. While most effective with
the Canon EOS-1v and EOS-3,
it can be attached to the EOS-1
and EOS-1N cameras.
PERFORMANCE
With shooting speeds up to 7 fps
(10 fps for EOS-1v), the PB-E2
exceeds the performance of
anything else in its class. It offers
two gear trains, Hi/Lo, and adds
a powerful third motor dedicated
to high-speed mirror and shutter
control. When used with the optional
Ni-MH battery pack NP-E2, the
hi-speed gear train is automatically
engaged and provides shooting
speeds with continuous AI Servo
autofocus as fast as 7 fps with the
EOS-3, and 9 fps with the EOS-1v
and EOS-1v HS (10 fps for EOS-1v
in One-Shot AF or in manual
focus modes).
CONTROLS
Ergonomically designed vertical
grip controls include a shutter
button, AE Lock button,
FE Lock/multi-spot metering
button, Main Dial, and focusing
point selector.
POWER OPTIONS
Besides the Ni-MH battery pack
NP-E2, the PB-E2 will also accept
Canon’s battery magazine BM-E2
which holds 8 AA alkaline,
lithium rechargeable Ni-Cd or
Ni-MH batteries.

Battery Magazine BM-E2
Weight: 50g (without batteries)
Provided with Power Drive Booster
PB-E2, this magazine holds eight
AA-size alkaline, lithium, Ni-Cd or
Ni-MH batteries.
Ni-MH Charger NC-E2
Weight: 354g
This charger is dedicated to both
the NP-E3 Battery Pack for the
EOS-1Ds/1D, and the rechargeable
NP-E2 Pack for the Power Drive
Booster E2. Two packs can be
attached at once. The discharge
feature (taking up to 8.5 hours)
cancels the pack’s memory effect.
It runs on 100-240v AC, so it’s ideal
for international travel.

The NP-E2 is a powerful battery
pack dedicated to the Power Drive

Off-Camera Shoe Cord 2
This useful accessory maintains all
on-camera flash functions for a
Canon Speedlite used off-camera,
at distances up to 2ft/60cm. Moving
the Speedlite off-camera results in
better control over lighting angle.
The Off-Camera Shoe Cord 2 is not
compatible with the EOS RT.
