Seems too cheap?

Nah, it'll just be a very cheaply made version.
 
It's a copy, branded "Meiko" (or something), and sold by a company that seems to sell a lot of cheap, poor quality kit.
 
Ah, I hadn't spotted the Meike logo.

The Meike grips are supposed to be very good, and that is a good price.

The seller has a 99.5% positive rating, so I'd be very surprised if it was a rip off, especially with 121 already sold.
 
I've had 2 Meike grips, I still use one on my 5D2.

Never had a problem, well made and cost a fraction of Canons silly price. I would imagine a Nikon version would be no different.

But that's 99.5% of over 100K.
I read thru their -ive feedback, and they're a company that sells a lot of stuff so crap it breaks before the buyer could give good feedback. Of the +ve FB, you have to wonder what %age broke after the buyer gave it the :thumbs:

Also the grip only has a 3 mnth Hong Kong RTB warranty (with shipping up to a month each way).
I personally would buy from someone else.
 
I do laugh at the cheap so must be crap brigade who have never bought one

My son has this, it was £19.99 when he bought it, well made, yes, and would be worth £50 and no faults at all.

Buy one from a good feedback supplier and remember, £100+ Canon battery grips fail too.

Being ebay so what if it fails you have a guarantee with ebay.

When I said that, I hadn't spotted the meike logo, and I assumed it was an unbranded version, which would likely be very cheaply made for that price.
