Unboxing and fitting Battery Grip on my D90

So I recently ordered a battery grip for my D90. It arrived yesterday and I managed to contain my excitement enough to set up my iPhone to do a quick unboxing and fitting video.


As I talk about in the video, the reason that I finally bit the biscuit and bought the battery grip (say that five times after ten pints!) was quite simply as I was getting  frustrated with distorting my arms to get the camera solid in portrait... plus I wouldn't have to worry as much about battery power when I'm shooting at tennis tournaments.




One thing I've found out since I recorded the video...


There's a secret compartment! For the battery door which I clipped off.


MB-D80 Hidden compartment


So the battery door is now safely stored inside the battery grip.


Camera looks absolutely awesome with the grip on, and feels excellent in the hand. The weight does increase a fair whack, so for those of you with dainty hands, it may not be the most comfortable.


Battery grip fitted!


Thanks for reading, and hope you enjoyed the video... and yes, I do get excited about 'new' toys.


See you anon
Chris
