The DSTE Pro Multi Power Battery Grip Holder for the Nikon D5100 has garnered generally positive feedback from users. Many customers appreciate its wider base which accommodates six AA batteries, providing significantly extended battery life, especially beneficial for long shooting sessions or when recording 1080p video. While the adjustment to the wider base may feel uncomfortable initially, users report that they quickly adapt to its design, enhancing their overall handling of the camera.
The grip features a textured, rubber-like surface that ensures a secure hold while shooting. Users have highlighted the convenience of the side portrait button, which facilitates capturing a series of overlapping shots for panoramic photography. Although the grip does include a remote control, some users note the limitation of having the sensor only on the front, making it necessary to maneuver the remote carefully when the camera is mounted on a tripod.
Overall, the product has been described as a worthy upgrade from previous models due to its affordability, better quality, and additional features such as the AA battery holder. Even after several months of use, customers continue to appreciate its functionality and resilience.
