Not bad for the price. December 22, 2008
Gary Carpineta (Maryland, USA)
I ordered this with my D90 and so far I don't have any major complaints.
The only thing I can say is that it is very light and you can tell the plastic is pretty thin. It throws the balance off a bit for me.
With that said it works perfectly and worth the price. I will most likely down the road buy the Nikon grip. I feel as I get longer/heavier lenses the weight issue might really befome a problem.
 If you really need a battery grip, buy the Nikon November 17, 2008

When I purchased this I was skeptical about the product due to some of the reviews, but I figured I couldn't go wrong because of the two batteries included with kit. As far as I'm concerned, two batteries is what I got out of this. I wanted a grip that would make shooting in portrait orientation more comfortable, but this grip is too slick to hold onto comfortably and confidently. While I haven't bought the Nikon grip yet, I tried it in a camera shop. I can believe the Nikon and Opteka are formed in the same molds, but the Nikon was definitely made of a denser plastic. More importantly the Nikon has a rubberized surface on the front for an improved grip on the camera. That's really all the Opteka product is missing, but it's a big deal. The last thing anybody needs is a shaky grip on $3000 dollars worth of camera, lens & flash. Unless you have very large hands, spend the extra $$ on the OEM product.
 it work sometime October 20, 2008

i had this for under two year. use it alot. i got this instead of getting the nikon mb80 because of the price and the extra battery. well i love it. about six month later. i realized that the camera doesn't reconized the battery or unit. maybe both i don't realy know. i had two battery and one nikon battery. sometime it worked realy well other time it doesn't even recognize the nikon battery. everything works quite well without the grip. one other thing is that when i put the opteka on a tripod if i turn the quick release to tight the battery pop out inside the holder. if i don't turn it tight then it be won't be very steady on the tripod. anyway, most of my shotting are done without a tripod. it's working ok right now. very figitty. i'm now willing to spend more for mb80. however, i'm going to keep the battery. the reseason i'm giving it two star is that does work sometime.
grip too large October 1, 2008
