Customer Review: Not Much Grip
Summary: 3 Stars
bought the Battery Grip to help better hold the Pentax K20D when I would hold the camera in the verticle position. The storage tray slides out the left side of the grip and the remote, battery & memory card fit neatly on the tray. Then you push it back into the bottom of the grip. I don't have a remote to store inside. I have yet to put the extra battery in it or an extra memory card. There is a metal twist lock tab that locks the tray in place. The grip also has two metal pins that engage in two holes in the bottom of the camera base when the grip is screwed into the tri-pod socket. There is a second tri-pod socket on the bottom of the grip.
I will post some grip photos when I get a chance.
The grip area where your fingers go could be a little bit wider and have more of a roughness in the rubber. I can't grip it as well as I thought I would be able to. Someone with small hands or fingers may or may not have a problem. It be nice if the grip contour was shaped like the right side of the camera's grip. The bottom of the grip is flat and sits nice and flat on a table without rocking.
The grip does give the camera a large stance, thus making it look like an expensive unit. Its very light weight and really doesn't add any noicable weight to the camera, at least I don't think it does.
Besides the shutter release button the grip also has a Green Mode button, AE-L button, Front & rear E -Dials and the + - Exposure button. The mirror flip up button for Live View is built into the power switch just like the body control switch.
Overall, I'm happy with the purchase. I plan to use an old fashioned flash bracket on the camera to help better steady it and so I can have a better grip for my left hand.
