I use it only to my battered V1 (battery cover will not close) to "fix". The handle is made of plastic, not looks very stable, but also gemssen on price, useful. Sufficient for the purpose gdachten from me. Whose battery lid closes should not access here. The Phottix metal solution is indeed expensive, but functional to length / usable and stable. For battery / memory card always changes the grip has to be dismantled.
