Hey Hoggers need you advice again. Looking for a good battery grip for a Nikon D7100 without breaking the bank. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.Thanks

There are aftermarket grips but they are suspect if used heavily. Better to keep an eye open for a used OEM model.

Check out Vello. I have one on mt T1i and really like it.

Check www.mpb.com. They have used OEM, battery grips that are good quality that won't break the bank. I bought one there and love it!

I have the Vello model for the D7100 and for me it works perfectly and looks great. If I was a Pro, I would invest in the Nikon one.

I use a Meike grip and it is excellent. Fit, finish and functionality are great. I previously only bought Nikon grips, but at the current rate you could purchase 4 Meike's and still spend less than 1 Nikon grip. When I used to shoot commerically, I wouldn't take any risks with non-OEM equipment. Now that I am retired, I was very pleasantly surprised with the quality of this particular 3rd party grip.

Review of the Meike grip on fstoppers.com can be found here:
