new custom gh2 battery grip

I have bought this battery grip about 2 months ago. Also a friend of mine uses it for more than 3 months. We are both very happy.

Not the best quality construction as factory grips (like canon) but it does the job just fine. It is a modified Nikon 5100 battery grip.
I have been shooting all day long without any fear of getting battery low indication.

Before this I had the Dolgin battery adapter with a (original) Sony battery and it was more expansive.
GH2 now has a better look and better handling with this grip.
 
thanks for the info
can the camera be stable on tripod with a quickplate attached to the grip bottom? how strong is it?
does it really give you a low battery warning?
thanks
 
I always have a Manfrotto quick release underneath the battery grip. It is very sturdy don't worry. I am using a monopod, a tripod and a flycam at the same all day event. There is a small cap on the side of the grip (for the lithium battery) that sometimes opens when it takes a lot of pressure, but I fixed with some instant glue. No worries so far. It also has a four LED battery indicator by pressing a small button, very helpful!
