Does this grip also support AA batteries like the Nikon branded version?

Yes it does. But, I'm not real thrilled with this grip. Charged both batteries, went to an event, and both batteries dead within a hour! Took it off an not used it again.

Yes, I received two different battery packs that fit into the grip... one that takes 6 AA batteries and the other with a back up Li-ion battery.

Yes it does. I haven't used it with AA batteries yet, but it does have that option.

Wow... I'm not sure. I've not had any problems with mine. I have one original nikon battery and one enel14 made by digipower. I would try attaching the grip first, then sliding in the battery tray. Or if you've already tried that.... Load the grip with the batteries, then attach the grip to camera. Does the "AA" tray work? If not, could be a bad grip. Hope this helps... Please do let me know. I'll be doing some research in the mean time.....

Yes. Actually it does. There is one drawback to this grip that I ran into. I haven't read this mentioned anywhere else...If the little button battery inside dies, mine did, the grip will NOT function. Not just the timer and stuff... The entire grip goes out.

A double A battery adaptor comes with the grip...never tried it as I have spare batteries for it

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.

I have an after market grip from amazon for my Nikon D7100. I can't remember the brand name but it was $48 and change. The batteries work great. I getting another set for my trip to Spain this month. Don't want to miss a moment.

No. I've used battery grips with 300D, 10D, 40D and now 60D Canons. All were unique and not interchangeable with each other.

The grip comes with a AA battery adaptor you can use in a pinch...I have never tried it as I have several batteries...it is a must have if you take any pictures in the vertical position

The short answer is no. This grip allows only one Nikon rechargeable battery, but can also accept AA batteries with the included cartridge. However, you can also use one Nikon battery in the camera body as well as the battery grip, effectively giving you two batteries. It gets a little hard to change the one in the camera body, you must first remove the grip. Nikons error in my opinion.

Yes, this is the original equipment Nikon grip, with the usual Nikon high quality (and high price...). Please see my review of this grip.

I have charged my batteries both with the original Nikon charger and the new one that comes with the grip. They both work. I usually charge all of them at the same time so I use them both anyway.

Yes, it does. The actual tripod mount is made of metal, of course, and there is an additional "lock ring" on the inside of the body to help secure the tripod mount. The groove in the battery holder allows it to slide over this ring for a secure fit.I have used my D7100 with the grip attached mounted to a tripod on many occasions since I've had it, and have had no problems with it at all. Seems to be made pretty well.

I just bought one more battery to use the grip. The grip also comes with an extra tray to use AA batteries.

You can only use the grip. Replaces the specific camera battery with the grip, which uses a series of AAs.

That wasn't the issue at all. I had assumed this was a battery grip by Nikon & with two batteries included I thought it was a great deal. But when I received the battery grip I found out it was a generic grip along with the batteries. I should have known Nikon wouldn't sell it for the price I paid. That is the reason I returned it to seller.

Sorry. I found the grip to be unacceptable and not registering the batteries that came with my D800.
