My question to those that have owned this unit for longer than a couple of months. Are you still satisfied with it?

I actually returned it after about a week. It felt more bulky than other grips, and the front dial did not work properly for me. Others have said it has worked great, but when I turned it to lower the aperture, it would sometimes increase the number. The grip as a whole felt sturdy, but still had a cheap feel to it.

I bought this battery grip the 2nd day it was available on amazon I have had no problems to date and still as good as day it was new. !!! Read my review of this grip , it still applies to it today

I am happy with this. My only dislike is the main dial control is too small and sensitive so I don't use it. It is easier to use on the camera body anyway since it is where my fingers go by default. I reckon the Nikon brand would be great but I didn't want to spend that much for more battery storage. I certainly recommend it as it does exactly what I wanted.

Very much so. A few things to consider: I noticed the camera not responding to anything when the battery dies inside of it (with another fresh battery in body) which is resolved by replacing the dead battery; the knob to secure to camera gets too tight and hard to remove. I fixed this by adding a very thin foam padding that acted as a soft cushion to allow for easy turning. The fit, finish and performance are excellent for the price.

I did have the problem with my first unit after 18 months or so. The problem started after I overcharged the unit. I have since purchased a new one and had any issues.

Agree with Steve's answer. I have had mine for a few months now and it works just fine.

Yes. I am fairly satisfied with that. I bought a refurbished one. Just one month after purchase it started to make noise. It still works (half a year) however makes some noise. If I buy it again, I will buy a new one.

Mine is still fine after almost a full year. I'd suggest you check the installation and if it still doesn't work well contact the manufacturer for a replacement unit.

Our company has had a unit since February 2013. It gets used every day by around 30 plus people and works great. We have had no problems at all with this unit. Got another one in April 2013 and it also is working great. I know have 2 more coming for otherdepartments. Hope this helps you.

Call the customer support number. I hope it has improved. When I owned this unit, the customer service was terrible. This is one of the reasons I finally got rid of the unit. Bad unit reliability, bad design, and terrible customer service made for a bad ownership experience. Good luck!

We have had this unit for about a year. No problems with it, we have it in our basement, so it doesn't get used to much. When we do use it, very happy with it.

I have been using my unit for 1 1/2 years with no problems. I am happy that I purchased it. As with all electronics, it is possible to receive a bad unit.

Nope. I've had this for a few months and haven't had any problems. Maybe it's just a defective unit?
