Do you have to remove the grip to get at the battery in the body? If so that seems like a design flaw, as my D90 grip allows for easy access to both.

Yes. You have to remove the grip. It's. So annoying. But it would seem really hard to drain both. Fully charged, you can probably take 2k shots on a warm day.

I'm not sure, but I haven't had any problems with this battery. I do have a battery grip that I use with both my D5100 and my D90, so that may be it, but don't know if that is the case.

you can carefully remove the battery door while you have the grip attached, I store it in my bag as there are time I don't want the battery grip on the camera, so I make sure I can return to the one battery setup.

no, one goes in the camera, the other in the grip. It just extends battery life, I went 2 weeks 1000+ shots before I needed a charge

I just purchased the grip. I agree that it is somewhat unclear as to whether or not you will receive two additional batteries with your purchase. I am sorry to let you know that you will receive the grip only. The batteries must be purchased separately.

Yes, the grip does not come with the extra "battery". You should hopefully already have 1 of the 2 for your camera.

I don't use a battery grip, so am unable to answer this question. I use the spider whenever I go shooting with my camera, which is almost every day. I love the spider; it has made a huge difference in helping to save my back and neck.

It's not a myth. Using the battery grip improves continual shooting speed. Unless you thought they meant 'shutter speed', it's not a myth. The D90 gets 3-4.5fps before grip and about 7-8 after it.

Hi Dennis,It surely works on the D90 but it gets in the way when changing batteries, not a big negative though.I would recommend a shoulder strap coupled with a waist-restraint belt instead.Keep shooting!

I just bought one more battery to use the grip. The grip also comes with an extra tray to use AA batteries.

the grip works great.leave the battery in your camera and a put the second battery of the same type in the grip.It does double your shooting .Tom

There should be no problem keeping the grip on the 70D all the time. You may want to remove the battery tray if the camera is not being used for a long time.

the battery door stays in place to maintain the main battery while the backup is stored in the grip. Unlike other cameras like the d3200, the part of the grip that interfaces with camera does not go into the battery slot.

Wendy, There is only a single battery in the grip and a single in the camera. This does come with a separate battery holder for regular double A batteries. It is possible to carry the additional carrier with you, though I can tell you that the two lithium batteries hold up for more shooting than you would likely accomplish in a day even under very heavy conditions. I can do multiple lengthy shoots over a week without a recharge.

Nope, was under the impression before that one could do that. Just 1 fits in the grip and another in the actual camera body. Even the original Nikon grip is the same. You should consider the EN-EL18 battery adaptation for it although it's pricey if you're looking for faster auto-focus and longer battery lifelife.

Correct. This grip with its 2 batteries replaces the small one that goes inside the camera. Most all battery grip packs will be this way. Hope this helps.
