The MB-D10 adds extra power while enhancing the camera’s features!
The MB-D10 is very easy to attach to the camera (mine is on a D700), just make sure the camera is turned off when attaching it; the CF card light blinks as the MB-D10 is being attached, but this is normal. This battery pack accepts several types of batteries like a EN-EL3e or a EN-EL4a, or EN-EL4 rechargeable batteries; or 8 AA alkaline, Ni-MH, Lithium or nickel-manganese; some features on the MB-D10 are an extra shutter button for when you are holding the camera in portrait mode; this extra shutter button is of course on the top right corner, so the camera feels very familiar when shooting portraits; as well, the way the handle (MB-D10’s) is designed, it feels very secure in your hand -you can even hold it only with with your right hand, while using the index finger to push the shutter button; I mention you can use only the right hand because once the MB-D10 is attached to the camera, the camera becomes squared and big! Actually, the D700 camera (with the MB-D10) is a bit higher than the D3 camera, if both cameras are placed on a flat surface next to each other. On the MB-D10, there’s also an AF-ON button, a multi-selector button, as well as a main and sub-command dials for when shooting pics in tall/portrait mode. On the top of the MB-D10 (when not attached), there is a ‘holder’ for your camera’s contact plastic cover (so you don’t loose it). On the bottom of the battery pack there’s the “Tripod Socket”, which is standard and on the camera’s Menu Options you may select which battery to use first, the camera’s internal battery, or the MB-D10’s. The battery pack adds to the performance of your camera, such as the ability to shoot 8 frames per second! An overall, the MB-D10 is a ‘must-have’ accessory for your camera; it certainly beats just carrying extra batteries; it allows you to do more.

Nice feel!
Excellent build quality.
I purchased the Zeikos Battery grip before buying the MB-D10. It was built nice. But reading the reviews of it compromising the D700, I opted to return that and purchase this.
Expensive but Nikon build. And covered under warranty- my biggest concern.

MB-D10 "The Second"
I liked my first MB-D10 so much on my D300s that I purchased this SECOND one for my D700. (See my previous post under "Photog, Mesa, AZ"). This battery grip accessory item makes handling the camera bodies MUCH easier, safer, and just overall is a very convenient item. Also it removes the awkwardness of shooting when rotating the camera 90 degrees for those vertical shots.

Wonderful product and 2 gripes
I've been shooting mine for a couple of years now, with only 2 complaints. The first, if I leave the battery in the body, it won't use the grip's power, even after the firmware update. Pulled the battery out of the body, and no worries. The second: I have big hands. When shooting landscape, the knuckle at the base of my little finger sits squarely on the vertical shutter release, and, if I forget to disable it, can trigger it when I drop the camera to a rest position. That being said, the MB-D10 adds fantastic functionality to my D300, weeks of service power, AMAZING FPS in rapid fire, and a nice "Pro" feel to the camera. Highly recommended!

Why did I wait? Great addition to my D300s
I read all the reviews on the internet about adding the MB-D10 to my D300s. Even looking a pictures of it to judge the size of it on the camera. I purchased it after having my camera for a year and after one month, wonder why I waited. This is a great addition to a D300s. Does it make the camera heavier? Yes. Is it more comfortable to hold ? Yes. Is it more usuable in the vertical position? Yes. I don't use the battery in the camera and only use the standard battery in the MB-D10 which still gives me plenty of shots per charge. The MB-D10 does come with a AA battery holder also. The MB-D10 fits like a glove and looks like it was built onto the camera. I use it on a tripod with a camera plate and can say it does not move at all, in any position. If you have thought about purchasing one, go ahead and get it. You will like it.

I purchased an MB-D10 Battery Grip for my D300 camera. I also have the EN-EL4a batteries. When I connect the battery grip to the camera, the camera does not recognize it. The camera only works with the battery inside the camera. any help would be appreciated.

Answer:
You should keep you camera loaded with a battery, and one in the MB-D10. The MB-D10 was built to provide an additional power supply to boost the one already in the camera. If you only assume you should use only the one in the MB-D10, why did you buy it? It would only give you the power already provided with your camera loaded with a battery, but without the MB-D10. Hope that helps.Jul 18, 2011 by

I want to know if the MB-D10 Multi Power Battery Pack will allow me to get 6, 7 or 8 frames on my D300s when shooting in RAW or does it only allow the camera to shoot at 8 frames on TIff,JPGE, and the other files?

Let's put it another way. With your MB-D10 loaded and ready, you will be able to shoot raw pictures at a greater frame speed than you would have been able to without it.Jul 18, 2011 by

Not only can you put one in the D700 and another in the MB-D10, you can put two in the MB-D10 totaling three batteries. A feature that unfortunately the more expensive MB-D11 lacks on the D7000.Feb 1, 2012 by

Answer:
The number of shots that can be taken with fully-charged batteries varies with the condition of the battery, temperature and how the camera is used. With one EN-EL3e battery in the camera is approximately 1000 shots and one in the MB-D10 is also approximately 1000 shots.
What is the exact procedure for installing the battery pack on a Nikon D700? Also, is there a preference on what battery (pack or camera body) that is used first?
