(More customer reviews)Overall, this is a good grip for the money. Looking at it and comparing it to the Satechi battery grip which sells for considerably more, I'd say they are identical. It performs well in every function available in this model. The quality of construction is consistent with the price. The battery grip is made of plastic, but let's admit it, so is the Nikon D90 and D80. The quality of the plastic in the battery grip is made of a slightly less quality plastic than the Nikon camera body and I assume, the OEM Nikon MB-D80 battery grip. If I were to grade the quality and durability of the plastic it is made of I'd give it 6 out of 10. For comparison, I'd rate the durability of the plastic in the Nikon D90 body as 8 out of 10. 10 being virtually indestructible. For everyday use, I'm not concerned at all that I'll break this grip. The function wheels on the front and rear mimic the wheel functions on the camera body and perform just as well. They feel a bit different to the camera body wheels, which I prefer, but do the job just fine. The shutter release button works well and feels about the same as the shutter release button on the camera body. The function buttons to program the clock, shutter release timer and intervalometer (for shooting time-lapse) are a little sluggish, but not enough to cause me problems. The instructions that are included leave a lot to be desired as they are obviously translated from Chinese to English, French and German. Even with the poor translation, I understood the instructions enough to work every setting and program the grip to complete every function available. If you are looking for an inexpensive battery grip, buy this one. If you want a perfect match for your Nikon and don't need the intervalometer, then spend twice the money and get the OEM Nikon grip. If you must have an intervalometer (a function Nikon doesn't offer in a battery grip), then this is the grip for you.
