Looks and operates the same as a Nikon battery pack

Items work almost perfectly. The joystick is a bit sticky but nothing I can't work around. The additional battery is an excellent addition. Does not hold charge as long as the Nikon En-El15C.

Having this accessory is a necessity. Love having extra battery life options.

Excellent product. Fit my Nikon D7100 perfectly. Very fast shipping. Would recommend this product, as an alternative to the much more expensive original optional Nikon battery grip.

Very simple installation and comfortable to use. The option to also use AA batteries as a backup is extremely convenient.

This thing is a great alternative to the Nikon brand. I bought the camera with a different 3rd party grip and it had issues. Bought this and now the camera is night and day.

Looks and feels like the real thing. Saved a lot of money going this way.

Works equally well as the Nikon, but at a fraction of the price. Even vomes with the same trays.

I think this is an excellent product and would recommend it highly. I wanted to take more vertical pictures but thought the Nikon battery grip was too expensive ($240). I have had no problems with this battery grip and it works as advertised. The ability to shoot with an extra battery is a bonus for me. The ability to use AA batteries is an option I haven't used yet.

Battery grip seems to work as advertised thus far. Pleased with the purchase. Materials have a decent feel to them but not as quality as Nikons same product. Main reason for purchase is based on price. Good product for the value.

This worked perfectly with my camera. And you dont need to take off the battery door in order to use this which i like.

Love having this extra battery pack & grip for weddings. Long wedding days have my hand hurting & sore but this grip helps distribute the weight & I noticed less pain when I used it.

Great Battery Grip and a fraction of the price for a Nikon model. Fits and works perfect.

Works great on my D7200. The main command dial, and sub command dial turn smoother then the ones on the camera, and the shutter release button works great. Pressing half way down for focus is very solid.

I couldn't be more impressed with this grip. Just because it's more affordable than Nikon's doesn't mean you're losing out on quality. Worth every penny!

I guess its good. You never delivered the battery so I can't use it and its been sitting here for weeks. When I finally get the battery maybe I'll be able to rate it properly.

Only had this and my D850 for a couple of weeks, but it looks and feels great, and works like a charm. I?ve had one on my D500 for years and they?re both just part of the camera. Feels funny when I take them off for my young granddaughters to use.

Nice replacement for Nikon grip. Fraction of cost

This battery grip is a great value. Coming in at about the cost of an extra battery, you can double the amount of time you can spend photographing. Flexible to use with standard AA or your extra Nikon camera battery. Wish it felt more life the camera texture, was a bit sturdier and had a better locking turn wheel. Have some issues getting threads aligned and unlocking when removing grip. But can't beat the value!!

My first go around the unit worked for about 10 minutes then all of the buttons stopped working. I just received the replacement and we will see how that goes.

feel sturdy and give me a better grip on my d750. It?s not the Nikon branded grip but it?s certainly as good.

The battery grip works fine but it can put the camera into an error state when the batteries run low. Like other reviewers, I also got that horrible sounding mirror slap sound. It did not break the camera, but it sounded bad enough to make my heart race. I THINK THERE IS A FIX FOR THIS ISSUE: The issue seems to arise when the power switches from the grip to the internal battery. I changed the battery usage order on the camera menu so that the internal battery drains first then switches to the grip. I have not had the error or awful noise since.

I really like this but if you don't turn it off it will drain the battery. It's nice to have and screw my harness or a quick release into. I use to think "professional photographers" had bigger camera until I put this on -- I think a few people took me more seriously.

A grip you can come to grips with
By MIKE H.
On a recent trip to Iceland we had 2 days in which to photograph the Northern Lights and we were lucky enough to have a spectacular show both nights. On my 2nd night my battery was low so I loaded my spare and it was dead Evidently the cold weather had zapped it. The only option was to continue shooting until my one good battery died. I vowed this would never happen again...lesson learned! So upon returning home I researched grips; the Nikon grip had all the features I wanted and I knew ...

Nice Grip
By Jim E.
The grip works as advertised. I have been using this grip for about four weeks now on both tripod and hand held with no problems. The battery compartment is easy to get to in order to change the battery quickly, I would recommend the grip to others.
Take your photography to the next level with the Multi Power Battery Grip, a high-quality MB-D17 replacement designed specifically for the Nikon D500 digital camera. This durable and reliable accessory not only matches the design and feel of your Nikon D500 but also doubles its battery life, making it an indispensable tool for avid photographers.
The compact and versatile battery grip features intelligent links to camera functions, enhancing your control over the device. It houses a twin cell chamber that can accommodate either a single EN-EL15 battery or two battery packs, providing extended power supply. This is particularly beneficial when utilizing the camera's high-consumption modes such as movie mode or Live View mode.
In addition to the EN-EL15 battery, the battery grip comes with a battery magazine that allows the camera to run off eight AA batteries, offering an alternative power source when needed. The grip's non-slip, rubberized handle ensures perfect balance in any direction, with full vertical shooting controls that can be independently activated or deactivated based on the photographer's preference.
The Multi Power Battery Grip is equipped with generous operating controls including a shutter button, Main Dial, multi-controller, AF point selection button, AE lock/FE lock button, AF start button, and multi-function button. It also features a standard 1/4-20 tripod socket and a hand strap mount for added convenience.
The base of the grip houses a protective hidden slot where your camera's original battery door fits snugly for instant retrieval. With the Multi Power Battery Grip, you'll have the power to capture more stunning photos and videos without frequent battery changes, making it a must-have accessory for your Nikon D500 digital camera.
