This is my first video, and a look at a 3rd party battery grip for the Nikon D40/x. The one in the video was purchased from Ebay seller LinkDelightOz for around AUD$50, which I felt was an excellent price for the product.
You can usually also add a few extra dollars and they will send you an extra battery, which I didn’t do because I prefer genuine Nikon batteries, and you can also get a battery grip with an LCD screen if you want to pay twice as much. I would’ve taken that option if I had the money.
Hope you enjoy the vid!
Matt (and his Nikon, of course!)
P.S. Search “Nikon D40 Battery Grip” On Ebay and you should find the seller, amongst many others. There is a new model grip out and I’ve no idea what it’s like.
This is a Targus Battery Grip for Nikon D40/D40x/D60 on a D3000
Purchased at local Radioshack for about $30
Includes an adapter for either 6 AA batteries or 2 Nikon EN-EL9 lithium battery
*For vertical shutter button it uses an IR beam to remote trigger the camera.(set to remote release mode)
BP-D60 grip mounted on D3000. No need to pop out IR sensor, no on/off button, AF works ok, patterning matches camera body quite good. Easy two step IR activation on camera. Since there is no Nikon grip for the D3000, this aftermarket product seems to be worth buying.
