Hi everyone,
I am looking to purchase the Zeikos grip (it's the 3rd party alternative to the Nikon grip, for a lot less money with great reviews). Now I do not need the extra battery etc., the only reason I want it is to stabilize the camera and give me a bit of extra grip surface. I love my D90, except it is too small and my hand starts to hurt after contorting my fingers on it during a shooting outing.
Does anyone have experience with using the grip for this purpose? Has it made it better for just gripping/stabilizing the camera? Or is it not worth it? Or can it make matters worse, such as more difficulty fitting it into the bag? I have a Tamrac sling bag I like, right now it fits in with room to spare.
Any thoughts or experiences with a view to the ergonomics specifically (again, I don't have much need for the additional battery in it) would be much appreciated.
Thank you
