Does this grip require a chord for the shutter button to work?

It comes with a small cord, maybe two or three inches long that connects them, though I never really used it. I use used the regular shutter regardless of orientation.

Yes it does. It included instructions on how to use that button to shoot vertical pics. This is the second one I've purchased as the first one have a spin latch that got broken as I was descending Stone Mountain in Georgia. IT DOES NOT HAVE A CORD, but it will accommodate 2 batteries and I have yet to go on a shoot and exhaust my power supply.

I have an older model, HDR-CX110 and it attaches like in the photos for the grip. You might have to do a search to figure out whether the grip is compatible with your camcorder. Assuming that it is compatible: For mine, there is a threaded screw hole in the bottom of the camera with a second, non-threaded hole in front of it. If you have purchased the grip already and have it in hand, you will notice that on the top by the screw, there's a little post that flips up and out. You will be able to turn the grey notched wheel to make the screw turn into the threaded hole. The flip up post will go into the non-threaded hole. The post's function is to sure the camera doesn't twist around. The round grey button on the right hand side allows the handle to swing into an angle comfortable for you to hold. Next, I opened the flip out cover on the right side of my camera labeled "DC IN" and "A/V R." I plugged the cable from the grip into the semi-circular port and that was pretty much it. I could use the controls on the grip to control the camera.

No, you do not have to hold the button down. Press once to start exposure, press again to stop. BTW...Might I suggest the RC-6 rather than the RC-5 remote. The difference is that the RC-5 has only a 2-second delay shutter release, whereas the RC-6 has a switch to change from 2-second to immediate shutter release. A much better choice in my opinion.

Yes it does. You have to screw off the top of the "Nikon" button. I got these for my husband for Christmas Dec. 2014.

You can use either shutter button! Regular shutter button when held horizontally or grip shutter button when held vertically. Both work independently of each other.

Unfortunately No. I wish it did, the cannon touches are pretty awesome. Using 'i' (info) button to switch between sections of the screen for white balance, exposure comp, etc. and it works fine for me.

You don't have to attach the cable to make the battery grip work. On the low end Canon models they weren't design to work with a batter grip that has a shutter button on it. The cable allow you to use the shutter button on the Battery grip. So if you turn the camera side way, you can press the shutter button on the battery grip instead of using the camera's shutter button. If you don't attach the cable, the shutter button on the grip will no work.

no I don't think that it does. It only acts as a shutter button for your camera. Which is awesome!!

The cable plugs into the shutter release accessory terminal, but you don't need to use the cable. The cable is there to activate the shutter release button built in to the side of the grip- handy for taking shots with the camera on it's side (portrait) but you can still easily use the camera's shutter button on top which would leave the accessory port open for your use.

Yes... you push the button and slide it forward to have long exposures without having to hold the button down.

Yes, the cable does plug into the remote shudder release socket so that the release button on the grip will work. The camera will function normally with it unplugged.

No shutter button. It's just an extendable rod that screws into any standard tripod mount.

Check and make sure you remove the rubber cover that the grip plugs into the camera. The switch needs to be turned on on the grip. Other then that I can't think of any other reason it would not work. I hope this help you.Gregory Bell

you do not need a battery grip...there is a screw, which you can screw to the bottom of the camera, but that would be make operation difficult...I put a make shift strap, and wear it around my neck...hope that helps you

This Grip has two slots, so you can run both. I found that if the camera is powered off, batteries installed, then power on everything works like factory. The "Jumper" wire provided only enables the shutter button on the grip body. I don't use it as I don't like the side ports exposed.
