The Nikon rep confirmed that. It's more an extra power pack than something with an ergonomic purpose. Shame that is, but also: better that way than "creating" another dull and wobbly battery grip. It's a first and maybe Nikon will regret to be this ignorant: first to make such a stupid device (that's my judgement until someone tells me better) and second, to communicate rather poorly about that. No one needs to buy it and hopefully it will collect dust, but I already stopped buying these grips. Not much of a brain effort in them.

      Dull wobbly battery grips....are they worse than hyper uninteresting battery boxes?   
  
    

      Things must be getting seriously "embarrassing" for Nikon now.........the first on line reviews are the most complementary....apart from the shock-wave of just one card slot.......then the niggles start to appear.........as do the questioning later reviews!

       .....AF issues....small buffer......only a few expensive lenses........the "what were they thinking"  battery box??

       Now, the latest is, Nikon stated that the release date is now delayed by maybe couple of months..........ouch!

       I've sent flowers rather than a wreath at this stage!
