    If you have the D850 buy the grip

    Verified BuyerReviewed by - April 11, 2018

    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This makes all the difference with uptown 9fps when shooting those 46 mp files. Don't think twice about getting it. It makes all the difference with sports, birds, insects other moving subjects not to say it also provides the extra batter power for longer shooting times. A must!

    Power to Spare

    Verified BuyerReviewed by - December 26, 2020

    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This battery pack works flawlessly with the camera. It adds significant battery life use. It’s designed to use both a Nikon battery as well as over the counter batteries. The frames per second speed is actually increased with the use of this product. The only negative thing I have to say is that I think it is expensive. However, Nikon is not known for being cheap.

    Excellent grip for the Nikon D850.

    Verified BuyerReviewed by - March 22, 2018

    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I ave used other grips for the Nikon cameras in the past and they would work for a while and either malfunction or cause the camera to malfunction. The MB-D18 fits perfectly and gives the camera an added edge. When I shoot vertical images, it is the best way to hold the camera an get the shot comfortably. I love the added speed to the camera!

    Great for extending your battery power usage

    Verified BuyerReviewed by - December 13, 2020

    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] First of all, I'm 6'3"tall and over 200 pounds so the additional weight of a Nikon - MB-D18 Battery Grip to my DSLR camera with a 70-200mm lens doesn't bother me as much as it does other people who complain about the weight. I recommend a good Black Rapid Camera Strap if you are going to be lugging it around for a long time.

    Better than I thought

    Verified BuyerReviewed by - December 21, 2019

    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Even though this adds bulk to the overall camera, the extended battery life outweighs this. In addition, having all the shooting controls available when shooting vertically makes this worthwhile. The cheap knock-offs do not have this feature. Only negative is the steep price, otherwise a 5-star product.

    Good connection

    Verified BuyerReviewed by - February 14, 2020

    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Had read several reviews of this type of item with many of them indicating that the connection between this unit and the camera body was not very stable. My experience has been quite the opposite. Once attached this unit acts and feels as if it were part of the original camera body.

    Get what you pay for

    Verified BuyerReviewed by - July 6, 2019

    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love Nikon grips! The finish and fit are second to none. I know people who have used 3rd party grips and they just dont fit right, have play in the fit and have functional issues with reading battery percentage and stuff. They are expensive for what they are, but worth it!

    Stopped working after 10 months

    Verified BuyerReviewed by - March 11, 2019

    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Loved the grip right up until it stopped working 10 months after purchase. Feels good on the D850, looks good too. When it worked it was great, but for that kind of money I expected it to last a few years. Don't buy with out purchasing an extended warranty.

    Included in sale

    Verified BuyerReviewed by - December 21, 2019

    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] What’s not to like when you get an accessory included in the purchase of a D850? It’s easy to install, use. It comes with a double A sleeve if you don’t want to purchase another rechargeable. Note, the rechargeable battery itself isn’t included.

    just what I needed

    Verified BuyerReviewed by - January 5, 2018

    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Perfect fit, performs as designed. No wobble when using it as a vertical grip. Good value for the price. Don't be tempted by a $50 third-party grip. It's not worth the risk of needing special tools to remove the thing from your $3300 camera.
