I charged them up two days before I flew so it was under three days between fully charged and completely flat.

Thánks wozzaaah, when it has happened to you did they completely drain.

No they were in the grip with the camera switched off.

Genuine ones.

They were in my hand luggage, I thought it may be the grip and took it off and inserted each battery in turn but neither had any power. I have now charged both batteries on my return and both are now working normally as is the grip. I have taken them on flights before without a problem the...

one is about two years I think the other is around 18 months. I am just wondering if going through four scanners in very short time could be the reason. To be honest I am just relieved it was not something more serious.

I i didn't let them they were fully charged before I got on the plane(s) when I tried to use them they were fully discharged, trying to understand why.

Just wondering if anyone else had any experience like this. I just got back from a flying visit to the uk for my grand daughters christening. I have a d5100 with meike grip and two en-el14 batteries I fully charged both batteries before I left and as it was a quick visit I didn't bother to take...

You can use just one battery in the grip, i always have both in though.

I use the Meike grip on my 5100 as I have biggish hands, also balances the camera better with a longer lens. You won't regret it.

I've got one on my d5100 fits great and works fine.

I have a D5100 and the 70-300 before I put the Meike grip on it did feel a little front heavy but with the grip and extra battery it feels well balanced now. And better grip for my chubby fingers :D

I have a D5100 and love it however what is right for one person is not going to be for another. I was upgrading from a D40x so when I bought mine already had an af-s lens so I stayed with Nikon. As far as I can see the two cameras both have strengths in different areas. IQ in Canon high...

Have you considered the D5100 and maybe a 35mm f1.8 or 50mm f1.8 lens. a d5100 body will set you back around £500 and the lens about £160 or £170. this will leave some spare cash for a flash or something.
