Comments about Flashpoint Flashpoint Vertical Battery Grip for the Nikon D3100 SLR Camera:
I bought it with my d3100, after a couple of uses I noticed that my battery didn't last as expected. I use my battery without the grip, and it didn't happened. Also the, little wire yo have to plug to the camera in order to use the shutter release is kind of annoying

[*] there are lots of YouTube videos [...]- The shutter release cable along the side is disconcerting. I have a new cable that I will lose someday, and an open rubber flap that doesn't have a good place to rest. These components can't take much abuse in this configuration I'm sure. A more elegant solution -- one that I'd pay for -- is some sort of covering on that side of the camera that could also be used as a grip.- No battery meters. It looks like both batteries are wired in parallel, which probably means that they'll both die at about the same time? I'd pay extra for something to tell me the charge level (and health?) of both batteries. And I wonder how a genuine Nikon battery would fare when teamed to an off-brand?- No power jack to recharge the batteries without removing them from the unit.Adorama, if you get a better version for more $$$, call me -- I will buy it! But until then, this is a good investment for the money.
