- Crazy priceExcellent feeling on hand, but need to pay the price of a decent camera body ($749, really?) for a grip. Wondering if Nikon competitors are setting up Nikon price.
- First Grip... works and feels awesomeThis is my first time using a grip. Day 1; don't know how I lived without them. Always thought I didn't need one, because I was strong, and nimble enough to shutter release without too much stability loss. Turns out, I was very mistaken. Much greater stability with the grip in portrait, and easy to switch between portrait and landscape. Don't hear or feel a single rattle in the battery area, as was stated by another reviewer.

- Nikon MB-D12 features and functionsDescription: The Nikon MB-D12 Multi Power Battery Pack is a vertical grip for select Nikon cameras including the D800, D800e, and D810. The MB-D12 allows use of several additional power sources for extended run times without interruptions to shooting. The MB-D12 features an extra set of the main camera controls that allows shooting vertical images from a more stable stance and it counterbalances larger lenses. The MB-D12 is compatibile with the Nikon D800, Nikon D800e, Nikon D810, and
- You're Joking, Right?$600+ for a battery grip?? I just bought a functionally (and aesthetically) identical knock-off for $50 on Amazon. The last official Nikon battery grip I bought for my D300 was $150 retail. I'd have to be either desperate or woefully uninformed to pay this much.
- Not Ideal for Tripod Use - Adds Worthwhile Vertical Functionality & Battery LifeTHe MB-D12 adds useful vertical functionality and battery life that I appreciate. The multi-selector button is so-so in comparison to the high-quality one built into the camera body; however, it's adequate. My real gripe is that when attached and screwed in tightly, the fit to the body is not totally snug. So, if you're doing critical work with a tripod, the camera+grip assembly is not rock solid. It's a much more solid platform without the battery grip attached.
