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.

Hi, sorry to hear that, i have no idea if fixing is needed, but have you checked if it is locked? there is a wheel you can can turn near the shutter relese that might be set to lock and thus you can't use it.hope this is the only issue and that this will solve your problem.

All I did was remover the battery door which slides sideways and slide battery grip onto cam ra. Hope this helps.

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 found this to be friction at the lever assembly and cable. Take off the part that snaps onto the handle. Remove both screws. Separate the halves carefully as not to lose the cams. Spray internals and cable with spray silicone lubricant. Reinstall, test. This is what I did to mine and it works again.

this happened to me also and I emailed Kodak customer service. they had me send it in for service and I'm waiting to get it back. I suggest you go to the website and start the process for getting it fixed.

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.

I never had any problems with mine, still works perfectly. On the camera, there is there is switch option, as enter the camers the switch is @ top right hand, you will find a a camera symbol click to switch to your desired option. If it fails you know its faulty.

Honestly... send it back. Save your money and buy the OEM. You, I'm sure, have a nice camera... don't attach cheap 3rd party gear - especially when you're talking about connecting to sensitive electrical components. I learned the hard way - you get what you pay for. There are other 3rd party manufacturers that produce good gear, but IMHO you shouldn't go to them for anything above a lens. And yes, I did buy one of these grips, and I returned it because it broke. Happy shooting!

Apparently they don't make a grip for that model. At least nothing comes up on their site. Sorry, they work beautifully.

omg, i searched and searched for this. even broke the leg sensor and had to buy a new one (lol). So, after you load your profile, in the bottom right corner, click "help & settings", after click "settings", then click "rebind peripherals". after that you press and hold the button on the arm sensor till it syncs up, then do the same with the leg. also, make sure the USB dongle is plugged it. Hope this helps.

All I can think of is you might need to try "rebooting". There is a tiny hole in the bottom of the camera (inside the place where you would screw in a tripod). Try sticking a paper clip in the tiny hole a push for about 5-10 seconds. Mine has frozen before and that resets it. Do that, then try hooking it back up to your computer.

The on/off switch on the camera grip only controls the buttons. If you're using non-standard batteries inside the grip, you may want to consider swapping them out if you're having battery life issues.

I'm having the same issue. The camera has never worked. It freezes as soon as I take one picture. I just bought it in July, so I'm sending it to an authorized repair shop (as per Kodak), to see if they can help. It does reset if I pop out the battery, but it takes one photo, and then locks up again.

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.

Attach the bottom to the camera and then snap on the top. It will not work with any accessories attached to the camera.
