[QUOTE="Will V|Photography, post: 41169, member: 7177"] I have the Zeikos and it's probably the best $30 I've spent on this camera. The battery door is super easy to take off and put on, though I never take my grip off. The D3100 is a bit small for my hands and this grip makes it so much easier and comfortable to handle, and the extra battery life is a definite plus. It adds some weight but I liked that as well. Makes me feel like I'm holding a real camera and not some toy. The sync cord is a [i]slight[/i] bother though after the first week you hardly notice it. I got a deal off eBay for the grip and an extra Nikon battery (as well as a cheap tripod and some other nick-nacks) from Cameta Camera. I initially had an issue with the sync cord but Cameta sent me a new one and all has been well ever since. The locking wheel is a little loose in its space but the grip never comes loose. I usually push the wheel in the lock direction every time I use the camera (kind of second-nature at this point) but it is never loose, I just do it to ease my own mind. I'd say go for it, you won't be disappointed. *This is a review on the Zeikos grip. I have no experience with the Neewer grip, unless it's the same one with a different name on it. [/QUOTE]
