Questions & Answers

Tom B : Does the batteries stay in place or do they pop out even though the door remains shut? I had bought one off of Amazon and my batteries keep popping out.JEFFREY A G : they should remain in until you rotate the latch to remove them.ANDREW T : So far mine have always stayed in place. I have had it for about 8 months.
CURTIS N : Do you pretty much leave the battery pack in place or do you remove it and replace the door when not in use? I mean is this like an accessory or does it basically become part of your camera?Glenn D : I have put the grip on to stay. I like how the camera balances now with heavier lenses.Willian J : It has become a permanent fixture on the camera. I wouldn't think of constantly removing and replacing the little door. Eventually it would break off.Thomas M : I leave it connected together, because it provides a better to grip of the cameraMARY RUTH C : Either is your preference. It's heavy for me but if the grip aids in holding your camera that's a plus. I have ordered several batteries for my camera and carry them. I hike quite a bit with my camera and the extra battery is much lighter than a battery pack. But, its your preference. My battery pack worked well for me..... just heavy.
Kelly T K : Does this model provide storage for the battery door removed from camera?Laura W : Yes, there is a place to store the door.??Sean W : No it does not.Charles H : Yes

Been using it for years

It was easy enough to install, though you have to remove the old battery door on camera body. But two batteries are better than one for a day of shooting.

So so

Functions fine. Lost a couple of stars because: needed to add texture grips as it is a bit slick The on/off switch for the shutter button seems unnecessary and a bit of a hassle to remember.

Love it

Doubles my on time. I like the remote and the inverted grip feature but the shutter release button isn't right for how I have my camera set up. I use the (I) button for auto focus so to use the grips shutter button makes it very awkward but outside of that I love this product

In my opinion a sensible addition

If you find your camera is small this bower grip will add just enough extra surface to make your camera feel more stable. I use the grip with the D5200. Has room for two batteries, but will work with one. Capable of remote shutter operation with the included infrared remote control. In my opinion a sensible addition.
