The grip feels solid and once installed on the camera it's very difficult to tell that it's not part of the body. The dials and the shutter button do feel a bit and behave somewhat flimsier than the camera's but it's nothing serious. The rubber grip sections feel very good and are very effective at imitating the grip on the D7000 itself. The tripod mount is solid metal and has a supporting metal brace inside the battery compartment. Oh, and the dials rotate the right way.One thing I didn't like too much is the joystick that works as the directional pad in portrait orintation. It has sharp little stubs that dig into the pads of my fingers. They'll probably wear down with use though. The battery in the bundle is supposed to have a 3400 mAh capacity. We'll see if it holds up to that! One thing I can say I like is that it has its own charging input so I don't need to use my main charger for it. It also included a lighter adapter for that input so it can be charged pretty easily from any vehicle!I haven't seen any branding on their packaging, but both items seem to be made by the same company. Overall, I'd say it's a very good buy, especially for the price!Sent from my GT-P7510 using Tapatalk 2</blockquote>
