This battery grip not working with my D7100. What I should check first?

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

I have had no issues with the grip. I would remove it, clean the contacts on the bottom, and try again.

I have found that if the battery is not properly charged, It will cause the grip to not work.

There is a black rubber piece that covers the connect for the battery grip to the camera, make sure that is off. If so make sure the connection pieces are clean, and screw the two piece together tightly. The camera will know it's connected when a BS (battery supply) shows up in the upper left corner of the camers info box.

Make sure that it is the right one for the D7100 and if it is then you may need to tell me if you have a battery pack on it

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.

It's a moot point because Nikon updated the camera software about a year ago and these batteries are no longer "recognized" by the camera. Sorry.

A "verified reviewer" on Adorama's site said that it worked for his D7100 and works well. B&H; states that it does work with the D7100.

I don't think so. Nikon didn't make a battery grip for the D70. But there are 3rd party grips that you can get in Amazon.

I believe it will work on a D7100 although I have not used it on one. I use this shutter release on a D610. The comparable Nikon MC-DC2 wired shutter release is advertised as compatible with all Nikon Nikon D90, D3100, D3200, D3300, D5000, D5100, D5200, D5300, D7000, D7100, D600, D610 and Df cameras, so I would assume this release would also work on the same models.

Works with my D7000, so I'd assume it would also work with the D7100. Just make sure you have extra 12V A23 batteries on hand in case the battery in the handheld trigger runs down. They are not so easy to find.

After about 6 months, I started getting the error message. I purchased a NEEWER Pro Battery Grip for Nikon D5100 EN-EL14 DSLR Camera from Amazon. Now, all I have to do is put the Nikon battery in first, and I don't get the error message. I have yet to completely run down both batteries in one session. Even with over 650 RAW images shot at an air show, there was plenty of battery left. As far as fitting the charger, it has to or it wouldn't fit the camera.

It might be an issue with your camera also, to test this place regular battery into camera and test if the battery has connection issues without grip.

I've heard that there are problems with off brand batteries but not with Nikon's. For a quick test, remove the battery cover and push down both batteries with your fingers to make sure that they are touching the terminals. While doing that, see if you can power it on. This probably will do nothing because this was a problem with some of the off brand ones but you can try it just to be sure.

It's probably stuck, wedge a paper clip or small flat head screw driver in flash slot and wiggle it out gently. If this doesn't work send it back to Nikon, that part is under warranty.

The unit uses the same batteries as the D7100. It takes only one. There is also a separate holder that comes with it that holds several AA batteries. This doesn't necessarily double the battery life but does give you a lot more battery power to shoot with. When this one goes down the internal one in the camera picks up. Also the addition of the grip increases your burst rate on the D7100. It is a good deal and I am happy with mine and use it every day. Larry

do a search for d5100 battery grip - there are several options. I am not sure if this one will fit your model, though the images look very similar - your best option is to go with one that is labeled for your model - then you know it will work. price ranges is similar - $20 - $52 new.

I so far I have not had any issues. The grip is very sturdy and have not had it off the D800 since the day i received it, weather using it hand held or tripod mounted. This battery grip will not hold the large battery that fits in the D3x.

I'm not familiar with the D7100, but I have a D90 that it works with. I think Nikon keeps these I/O port pretty much standard across their line of DSLRs

I think the D7100 battery grip only holds one and you also have the battery in the body of the camera which makes it two.

the grip does go on the bottom and it holds one regular d7100 battery and yes it does double the battery life by using the battery in the grip first and then the battery in the camera.

First...assuming you are using the 8-AA battery box...once the grip is attached, remove the battery slide and than reattach. You will know it is working if you look on the display on the camera. Directly right of the icon that shows the remaining battery life it will have the letters BP which indicates the power is coming from the battery grip. Also in the camera setup menu go to the option that lets you choose if you want the power to first come from the camera or battery grip...select the battery grip. If you are talking about not able to use the release button on the grip...make sure you rotate the switch next to it so the indicator points to the white dot which selects the grip controls. Finally...do you have the stock battery in the camera plus the one in the grip? If all else still doesn't work....remove the grip and reattach...perhaps the contacts are dirty or defective. It should work...mine works perfectly and is a cheap replacement for the Nikon unit that is identical in performance and looks. Last thing...if all else fails you may have a bad one so return it.
