From Nikon
I read the manual and installed the Grip to my D200. What a big difference It handle better. I order this grip even though I have total of 4 batteries for my D200. Now I have more peace of mind that I can carry AA for spare in my Back Pack. For the latch to hold the cover, I finally figure out not to break it by pushing the cover gently while slowly turning the latch without forcing it , so not to break the locking mechanism inside. I love the feel in my hand , use it to my tripod without removing the grip and it is very stable. Plus I also ordered the cable release for really sharp picture shooting. For the price you can't go wrong. Very easy to shoot potrait now. I have wedding to do this March so, I'm ready to rock with my Nikon D200, SB 800 and my Spare Nikon D70. Now debating which lens to get between 17-55 f/2.8 or 70-200mm F/2.8 VR...need help
This accessory is great. You have the advantage of using the battery pack or 6 AA batteries. It holds two battery packs and switches from one to the other as needed. If you are out and about and can't charge the packs, you can use AA batteries!
