As well as providing extra battery power, the battery grip provides additional controls including a shutter release button which is very comfortable when using the camera in "portrait" mode.

This grip is supremely comfortable if you are like me and you have big hands. It adds very little weight to the camera unless you put in a battery. The description about this product does not say it includes an AA battery holder, and it does!.

Gives the D7000 extra staying power! fantastic to go with the twin sd cards...slots Also helps the feel of the camera on it! Makes it feel like a Pro

Great for out for what I wanted it for - day trips: lightweight, holds enough for an excursion, good wasterproof cover.

The build quality of this Nikon battery pack is far superior to third party brands of this type. Heavy duty and professional, this battery pack doubles battery life, and allows for vertical photography with ease. High price, but worth the piece of mind that the product will work on command.

Previously I had a much cheaper clone and replaced it. I am glad I did. The MB-D11 matches the camera better, is well made and works very well. A very nice product.

Great add-on. Nice grip with vertical shooting. Extra battery welcome with long exposure during night sky photography and timelaps. No issue with looseness. I have mounted the rubber cap between the grip and the camera upside down in its slot.

Despite the size and added weight the Nikon MB-D11 adds a feeeling of stability and a confortable grip. Being able to use the regular battery plus the AA batteries takes the worry out of those long sessions. The unit attaches to the camera easily and the setup through the menu is a snap.

I have big hands, and with the MB-D11 the D7000 is a perfect fit. The additional battery (plus being able to use AA's!) is a nice bonus.
