Good review, but among the MB-D10 clones, I think that the Adorama "Meike" grip is 1000x better than the Phottix (I've have both). The MB-D10 is overpriced fr what it is IMO.

Thanks for the review.

I've been using the same Phottix grip for my D700 for over two years. It's a workhorse! Never a single problem!

As I have read, there is no electronics out there. So, the issue could be bad contact or bad battery. Actually, Phottix grips have the same problems as original ones. Clean your contacts before you will smash the grip!!! ))))

I have read the same issue with the original Nikon grip. Phottix is not the problem.

I purchased the Phottix battery grip for my D700 after watching this review.  It was on my camera for two days and suddenly my lcd display stopped working. I could hear the camera taking pics but nothing on the lcd. I had to send my camera to Nikon to be repaired. Luckily it was still under warranty. I was really upset. I did a search and found other people on flickr who had experienced the same thing with this product. Buyer beware. I will never buy non-Nikon products again.

you dont need a battery grip to shoot 8fps.. you just need to do a bracket burst for your d700..

Good thing I saw your updated review of the Phottix battery grip where you smash it to pieces before I went out and purchased one!

Is there a possibility that Nikon would void your warranty if you run an aftermarket grip, like the one you discribed, on their camera's?????? This is why I always choose to run original Nikon products. The price is higher and so is the quality.

It won't work on your D3000. The grip for the D700/D300 is different than the grip for the D3000 (if it has any). You have to check to see what grip your camera uses.

compatible with d3000? and does it increase my shutter rate?

Is that a 50mm f/1,4?
