Both B&H and Adorama list the Nikon MB-D16 Multi Battery Power Pack on sale for $136.95 (regular price is $336.95). According to Adorama's listing, the price expires today, August 29, 2021. B&H is sold out of theirs so not sure if it can still be purchased at that price.

Considering the D780 is already being sold, perhaps Nikon won't be making this grip for long.

They gave them away with the cameras a few years ago. I'm not surprised that they are on sale.

Hmm...mine didn't come with one. But now that you mention it, I do recall them being offered at some point.

Even at that they are wildly overpriced

Nikon grips are always expensive compared with the aftermarket ones. I purchased a preowned Nikon grip for my D7200 and used it for a short time. Now it just sits packed away in its box. Guess I never shot enough during any one outing to really make it worthwhile.

I bought a Neewer for my first d500 -- $29 on sale and has worked flawlessly every day since.

I purchased my D750 two or three days before the premium was offered. A few days afterward, a package arrived in my mail from the shop where I purchased the camera; included inside were a MD-16, a refund receipt for my original purchase, and another purchase receipt dated after the offer started along with the MD-16 added as a freebee! Now that, my friends, is good customer service! (BTW, the shop owner called me to ask if I was interested in the offer before it was completed. He actually had someone decline the offer.)
