[QUOTE="pforsell, post: 616631, member: 7240"] I've yet to encounter a vertical grip that felt right. They make the camera too heavy and bulky and the ergonomics of the gripped camera is wrong. A gripped D800 for example feels like a pregnant cow when compared to the agility of the greyhound-like D4 body. Because the grip is a bolted-on piggyback the weak joint has too much give on tripod with a heavy lens like 14-24/2.8. With long lenses this doesn't matter because the lens is on the gimbal, not the camera. I rather carry the extra battery in my pants pocket than in the grip. This way I don't have to carry the grip at all. [/QUOTE]
