battery grip for Z-1p (PZ-1p)

[paddy_macmahon1]

<p>Just bought a Z1-p (seems like a great camera; makes my old MZ-5n feel like a toy).</p>

<p>Bojidar's site mentions the FDP grip strap, which is a hollow shell to attach to the bottom of the camera - has anyone tried converting this to a 4*AA cell battery pack? And does anyone have one they no longer use and would be willing to sell (particularly if you're in the UK).</p>

<p>Hi!<br>

I remembered this from a few years ago when I got my PZ1. Check out this site: http://w1.541.telia.com/~u54105795/FAQPentax item 5.3. It provides details on how to build one.<br>

Hope it meets your needs.</p>

<p>They are rare. Your two best bets: 1) Setup a search on EB*Y. They will keep you informed for about 6 months 2) 'Pentax Forums' has a good site for used equipment. Any search will find it.</p>

<p>I've had a search going on that afore mentioned popular web auction site for more than a year now and have not had one come up. (I would have bought it, had I seen one). Great camera, just wish it fit my big hands better. I guess I'll have to start looking over at Pentax Forums myself. Good luck in the hunt!</p>
