<p>As I keep a d300 as a backup the button placement is important to me. So my main camera is a d810, with the d300 as a backup.</p>

<p>This is my first to this forum and from the other posts I just read I'm glad I joined.<br>

I bought a d800e a short while ago to replace my stolen d300 and its an awesome tool for taking photos. Recently I looked into a motor drive for the 800 for various reasons.<br>

Shopping locally the store has the MB-d12 and the Meike unit. Both appear to have similar features, and weight. With not much difference in construction. However, both, even the Nikon unit, as kind of thrown together. The price difference is significant and even the dealer proposed that Meike unit was nearly identical.<br>

I am not looking to send less, tried that before and got burned. Its just in this case both units seem the same.<br>

So what is the better grip?<br>

Thanks,<br>
