Does anyone have good or bad experiences using the camera grip?

You have to take the phone out of this case to put the camera grip on. I love the camera grip, however because of the added bulk, I only use it when I'm planning taking pictures, or when I am expecting to need extra battery life. The phone is snug inside. I have Zagg invisible shield on both the front and back as well, and the phone does not come out of the camera grip easily. However, I'm not sure if that's because of the Zagg product on the phone, or because the camera grip is really grippy. Either way, if I had it to do all over again, I would definitely pick up the camera grip. -Maddy @transatheistpod

I have been using this grip for the last year and half, it gives you much more secure grip versus if you did not have any ! but if you are planing or already have Sony brand camera case, it's not going to work/does not fit into the case with the grip attached to the camera.not familiar with Richard Franiec's one., sorry.

The on/off switch on the camera grip only controls the buttons. If you're using non-standard batteries inside the grip, you may want to consider swapping them out if you're having battery life issues.

Thanks, not really an issue, grip works fine. I just wondered, since both batteries are always in play, why the shutter count for each battery and be different. A nit, really.

Mine was a legit Nikon Grip. I think third parties make grips for it but dont claim they are made by Nikon, unless you know something I dont? I read the other answer and mine was none of that. I also bought from Beach Camera through Amazon, they are a solid company I bought many Nikon items from!

Hello Franz... I used it with battery grip on a canon 60d and is ok, It's not a problem.

This is not an issue for me. I used the camera extensively on a recent trip overseas and never noticed a problem. In fact I wouldn't be without the strap.. I noticed if I used my smaller point & shoot hanging from my neck all day, its caused far more strain than using my DSLR.

Make sure the "patch cord" is connected between the grip and the side of the camera base. If it still doesn't work it may be the grip is malfunctioning.

The grip fits perfect in the camara but maybe you could have a problem with the case if it is very tight. I have a general case from Sony and it fits very well with the camara and grip base.

I was going to answer "no", then again I'm looking at mine with grip attached (always leave mine on for extra battery). If it's underneath I had forgotten since my grip has been on about as long as had the camera, loops, I mean phone. I do that all the time!! ;0)

This grip went up in smoke for me and I burned my fingers trying to get it apart before it went up in flames or the batteries exploded. Sounds like it doesn't happen to everyone, but in my opinion, it's not worth the risk. I recommend buying the Nikon grip. It's expensive, but when I'm on a shoot I don't want to worry about my $3300 camera burning up because I wanted to save a couple of bucks on a grip.

Not I, but I recommend this grip highly. It really helps hold the small camera. In fact, I believe Sony should include it with the purchase of the camera.

It might muffle it a little but, my overall answer would be no. Overall, I really like it! The only thing that takes a little getting used to is how it changes the feel of the controls on the back of the camera. I do highly recommend that anyone who spends this kind of money on any camera, they should invest in a skin, it's just added protection.

I think so. I have my D5100 with third - party grip attached and I have no problems at all.

I have not had a problem with this but I can see where there might be a problem if you are moving rapidly around but I have not experienced this just walking around. But I also usually keep a hand on my camera when it is hanging from the strap.(just one of my tics I guess). I totally love this strap and the easy of use that it allows me when I am taking pictures.

I bought this one because my first tripod was too flimsy. It's worked out well for me. I always use a remote shutter release so I don't have experience with it's stability while manually shooting. I've also never used a tablet on it.
