Any good aftermarket MB-D17 knockoffs? (1 Viewer)

[RubidiumRubecula]

Hello everyone! I'm in the market for a vertical grip for my D500 and it appears that the original is impossible to find in Russia. However, we have a ton of chinese knockoffs of different "brands" at laughable prices. Is there anything good between them?

When you say, "vertical grip," are you meaning the MB-D17 battery grip? It does have a shutter release that will allow you to take photos in the portrait orientation. Can you order one online? If so, you could order a Nikon MB-D17 online from several online stores like B&H photo, or used versions on eBay: nikon mb-d17 battery grip for sale | eBay
