[QUOTE="Horoscope Fish, post: 168060, member: 13090"] Well I had the Meike grip on my D7100 for about twenty minutes before I sent it back. I must be the only person on the forums who doesn't like a battery grip. I reeeeeally tried to like the grip but I found it bulky, it didn't want to fit in my camera bag without me having to re-arrange everything else around it, I didn't like how hung at my body on my sling and I could not STAND the ergonomics of my camera when the grip was attached. Without the grip, I can cradle the body on the last three fingers of left hand while my thumb and index finger stabilize things under the lens mount. My right hand grips the camera, but it stays loose and is free to adjust dials and buttons. Doing vertical shots, really, is no issue for me and I have some pretty decent sized hands. Battery life is insane so I didn't really see the need to have two of them, but if I do switching batteries takes two seconds so that whole justification was out. That was pretty much the last straw for me. I love how the 7100 feels in my hands as is so the grip, for me, was a huge leap backwards. But at least now I know. [COLOR=#ffffff]...[/COLOR] [/QUOTE]
