Using the en el-18 battery gives a little speed boost. I already had one from a D4s, otherwise it is an expensive option.

I agree only buying Nikon accessories for Nikon cameras, your always taking a chance with a off brand. I have one question...why in the world would anyone want a grip for a D850?
I find that the grip helps me with portrait orientation. It also allows me to use the same battery for all my cameras and boots frames-per-second. Best of luck.

The original grip is long enough for all three fingers, how longer a grip does a photographer really need?Drastically improved handling. Better Portrait Mode controls & handling. Better handling when a long or heavy lens is attached. Second battery available.
Try one.
Try one.

My hands must be a little larger. While the D810 is a hefty camera, it stops just a little earlier than I would like for best comfort.

I have the Nikon battery grip on my D500 and love it but hate the price. I'm considering the Vello grip for my D850 but want the same Nikon quality; any suggestions?
-----I have two Nikons and two Vello's and I find no difference, other than price. I believe the quality to be comparable.

I generally wait until the holidays when Nikon throw's in a free battery grip with a body purchase. I can afford to wait. I get good results from my older equipment so I can easily wait.

Interesting comparison. Insurance companies quote ... (show quote)
Even worse when they fit and you think everything is fine and a year later the chrome is already peeling and showing rust, or first time it rains your lights have puddles of water inside.

I still have a vello that's a paperweight. Not because the AA battery adapter never worked, but they're not identical so the custom L bracket doesn't fit. Got a like new nikon grip, and it fits. Better shape, texture just better.
