KLit of parts to give you 10 FPS on Nikon D850

I spotted this while tooling around on ebay ...all the bits you need to do 10FPS with a D 850.
Clearly the seller is not saying which brands he is selling or you would just go buy your own bits but there it is 75% less than Nikon .Looks like global sales are possible.

How many fps is it out of the box?

7 FPS ..it is well known that adding the grip and EN EL 18 is required to get full speed.

Vello makes a battery grip for the D850. B&H carries it for $99.95 USD. I have the Vello grips for both my D7200 and D500. Work flawlessly at a fraction of the cost of Nikon. I’ll be purchasing a D850 in the VERY near future and will be purchasing the Vello grip rather than spending almost $400 for the Nikon branded grip.

Fake. The FACTORY grip and EN-EL 18a battery will result in 9fps, ONLY.
Generic batteries or grips will NOT result in any higher fps than the 7fps body speed. Not a generic battery in a factory grip nor a factory battery in a generic grip. No matter what any scam seller on Ebay claims.

Now you have me re-thinking the Vello grip for my future D850. If Nikon has a Black Friday deal similar to what they had when I bought my D500 in 2017 (camera body plus grip at close to the body only price) that would solve my little dilemma.

MT shooter is totally wrong .Some grips will not give 9 fps some batteries will not give 9 fps but the right grip with the right battery and I can assure you you get 9 fps. I have been using a similar set up on my D850 for 12 months but it took some research to find the right 3rd party battery. I have not tested vello.
PS.
I have contacted the seller via ebay UK and he has changed the 10 fps to 9 fps and tells me he will post more pictures later today.

Ebay posting clearly shows a shot of the info screen with 9 fps displayed

Sounds very odd to me, I would be careful, that might not be true. That camera can do 9fps with the original Nikon, I find it hard to believe that a generic would out do Nikon's own!

The 10 fps is an error the original ebay poster got it wrong..as you know you cannot edit on UHH after a certain time.
PS I have used a similar set of kit for 12 months and it works fine at 9 fps
