[QUOTE="Bill16, post: 444169, member: 15356"] I'm of two minds about third party grips! I've had some that worked very well on my D3100 and my D5100 when I had them! But I've had one on my D90 that nearly fell apart at the seams, so I tossed it out and bought a OEM grip for the D90! I fell in love with the quality of that grip and started buying OEM grips from then on! But now once again I was considering a third party grip, since the D800e takes a very very expensive OEM grip! But even so I'm still strongly leaning towards the OEM grip, to save on regretting it later if I don't go oem while I have the chance(money)! Also [MENTION=9753]Scott Murray[/MENTION] pointed out the feature of using a D4 battery in it if I want to, which appeals to me though I don't need the extra battery life! So hopefully tomorrow I'll be buying an OEM MB-D12 battery grip, and if I'm lucky a L bracket to go with it! The bracket will likely be neewer brand, to save on cost! Talk about costing a lot, just look at top brand L brackets for a D800 with grip! A bent piece of metal with cut outs cost like $180.00 for heavens sake! [/QUOTE]
