D600 User Thread II

Yeah, surprisingly JP's XQD prices still are very high. Amazon US's much lower, although Adorama no longer sells them, and I'm not very willing to try other vendors.
Guess I'll hold till I reach one of the areas there.
what does wu-1b do? add wifi capability to d600?
jus an update on the phottix bg-d600.
i fitted it in and it fits well.
no/not much(depends on ur expectation) of loose gaps/movements.
as lenlust has mentioned earlier, he finds too much recoil with the shutter button.
i tried it and it feels a little more 'springy', but not much of an issue.
i read abt other grips havin this issue with the rotating dials that if 1 turns too quickly, the adjustments do not get register with the camera.
eg 3 quick turns but only 2 adjustments recorded.
i'm pleased to say that from what i had tried, the phottix grip that i hv does not hv this issue.
i had previously used the nikon grip for d80 & d90,also for omd(if it helps....) and i would rate this grip as a 8/10.
the reason for not gettin full marks is i know the original grip has alloy material, and i'm giving it the benefit of doubt that the original grip has a much higher, better quality build.
overall, for abt 1/3 of the price of the original grip, i would say i'm happy with this grip.
btw, TK says the warranty is 1yr, and to go back to them if any issues.

Oh my feedback on the recoil was not really an issue, just a finding. I've used grips on the D100 and D7000 before, as well as the 'permanent' grips on the D1/2/3/4, so I know what to expect when I use the 'button'. Have not really tried the settings dial like you mentioned to see if any was skipped in the process of turning the dial, but thanks for sharing.
The D600 grip is considered cheap around $300. The D800 grip is priced at $500+!!

Yup, it does exactly that so you can use it with Nikon's WMU (Wireless Mobile Utility) app. It's about ¥3,900 here.

Trying to see if can mod it to be used on D4 too. Saw the schematics, will get a friend to help. I'm not a circuit board person. Cheaper than WT-5 if it works.
