What happens to the battery "door" when you attach the grip? As it seems it has to slide into the battery port.

You simply remove the door with a small click and it stows away in a slot in the portion of the grip that slides up into the camera body. The battery door is then safe without fear of it getting lost and available in case you ever wish to remove the battery grip.

Yes, I had a lot of trouble also, but keep pushing on it as hard as you can. It will open. Try pressing "down" and at the same time push the button "in". The opposite green grip will start to push out and the batteries are under that. Hope this helped you.

Yes, you do remove the camera battery door and it stores on the side of the battery grip. The part of the grip that inserts into the battery area of the camera has an area to store the battery door cover snugly and conveniently without worry of losing the door. It stores inside of the camera while the battery grip is on the camera.

Yes - you will need to remove the factory battery door, but it pops on and off easily so you can switch between one battery with the stock battery door, or running dual batteries with this grip.

The part that you hold in your hand slides off the head part. Kind of like sliding or pulling a knife out of its sheath. Then you can easily see where the battery fits.

No. You have to remove the Vita or wait for the battery to run down on the grip.

Battery doors are in bottom. There are 2, one set on each side. There is push clip on front side of door,,,just push it toward middle, while pulling up simultaneously. Just a fingernail in slot should do it easily. Mine were so loose, I have to put scotch tape over the retaining clip on the door, or the batteries fall out while in use.

You put the battery in and slide it over under the case. It doesn't sit in the round hole like one would think it does. My daughter had to show me this

you slide it in the opposite direction you did when you inserted it. If there is a lock hinge you need to lift the battery's back side above it, of course.

Just squeeze tabs on either side of the lower part of the handle and pull down. Battery should slide out then slide fresh battery in and your good to go. Tabs are tight at first, but battery will come out.

Make sure the little grey "slide" that you use to open the door to get the batteries out slides all the way back into place fully after you securely close the battery door.

Unscrew the back cap - the one with the on/off button. The battery carrier will then slide out, be sure to put it back in the same way it came out.

If it is on a Alpha 77 there is a slot where the shaft of the battery grip goesin.

I have not tried it with the battery grip. Give me a day and I will check that out and let you know.

The battery compartment cover is the bottom part of the black grip on the power button side. At the top of the cover is an arrow (triangle) pointed downward. On the rib just below that arrow, press firmly and in the direction of the arrow at the same time. I put one thumb on the rib, the other thumb on the fingernail of the first thumb, and press hard. When the cover slides about 1/16" away from the top part of the grip, you can relax, lift the cover slightly from the bottom, and slide it off the rest of the way. You have to push so hard, the end of your thumb will hurt. You could lay a toothbrush handle across the rib and push on that. I ground that rib below the arrow most of the way down. I still have to press just as hard, but there is no pain!

No. It is a grip and 2 places for batteries. You remove the battery door and attch the grip. Then you install either one or two batteries. It is an awesome addition. Hope that helps.

The front fore grip is part of the gun, and is what holds the battery in place, as well as what hides the connectors for the battery. So if you remove it you will leave the battery and wiring exposed.
