These online posts about the grip shorting out your camera etc., in all likelihood, are from SHILLS who are purposely put there to scare you off of this purchase. If I can find a way to test it and see that it works, I will attach it to the camera and let you know. Sorry Nikon.ģ) If I don't use the Meike grip, so what. Same result, Nikon doesn't get to have an ALL YOU CAN EAT BUFFET on my wallet. If I bought the NIkon grip, I would order an EN-EL15. Not at the prices it is currently at so I can add one extra battery. I also really, really like the extra battery and extended shooting time.Ģ) The Ripoff Authentic Nikon grip is NOT ON MY RADAR as a purchase at the current prices. You see it above.ġ) I love the feel of a gripped camera. The grip arrived, exactly in the time period Meike said it would. I did some research and saw that some people did have problems. One member here who is on both forums also had an issue. There have been some issues with this grip. I listen to people on the forum because I have been there a few years and have a high degree of respect for their knowledge and advise. The, people on the other forum I frequent () started warning me about possible consequences. I thought it was a seamless, brainless purchase. I ordered the grip thinking this is no big deal. So, based on my personal hands on experience, I would: I could find no fault or nit with this items what so ever. I experimented with Shutter Priority, Aperture Priority etc to ensure the dials on the gripped work. I made sure the power on the camera was off and the switch on the grip was off, I charged up my battery, installed the grip on the D800 so it was nice and snug and fired it up. It was shipped in that lovely paper bag and. I did not find any concrete evidence from the pool people I check out on ebay who responded positively to the grip.Īll feedback was pretty much the same. This gave me a fair amount of encouragement because if this grip was burning up D800's all over the world, people would be screaming about it. To make myself feel more comfortable, I spent and exhaustive number of days reading through feed back from individuals who purchase this grip. I put it here as well for first time readers)Īs promised, I am following up on my review of the Meike D800 Battery Grip. UPDATE: Posted 3 weeks later! Here are my findings to complete this review!! (I also posted this somewhere else in this folder. Since this is just educational, I didn't spend that much time on taking and retaking the images to get them perfect. SORRY for the quality of some of the images, I just point my D90 and shot. Go here to see the overpriced NIKON MB-D12 grip on a D800 and compare: If Only I had the courage to TRY IT OUT!!! :lol: $69 paperweight! Live and Learn. Overall, just from appearance and order experience, I rate it all an A+.
#Nikon f6 grip pro
This grip has the feel of a solid, well made, pro grip and looks high quality. The tripod connection on the bottom screws into something that has a solid piece of steel across the bottom of the grip on the inside.

I read a review that said these were cheap. The dials are every bit as solid feeling as the ones on my D800. The wheel to screw on the grip is solid and makes a tighter fit than the Nikon D90 grip I have! How can you fault this? It even has a little holder to put the rubber from the bottom of the D800 that covers the pin connections. The soft mottled grippy plastic is an excellent mimic of the D800 finishing. I have read reviews online that again, make me wonder who rights this poop. REMOVED ALL BATTERIES FROM CAMERA, NOTHING IN GRIP. Instruction book written in lots of languagesīusiness card offering a discount if you order things from a website The EN-EL15 Lithium-ion Battery cartridge for holding the EN-EL15 battery (BATTERIES NOT INCLUDED) The AA cartridge for holding AA batteries (BATTERIES NOT INCLUDED) I open the box that has a slight ding on it, see picture and here is what you get: I grade the box and contents on arrival: A+ OK, not bad, the box took a bit of a dent but that is OK, NOTHING DAMAGED INSIDE!! No room to complain here! :P Seriously, who ships like this?Īaah, the grip is in a box. I have never, EVER shipped anything in a bag before, but it is a nice communist green colour and has lots of Chinese on it, so. It has a nice reusable rope tie thing on the bag.
