People have different sized hands and ways of holding cameras. I have medium sized hands and skinny fingers, and I prefer portrait orientation, so this grip was a must as soon as I got a D600. The two different battery modules (AA, and lithium rechargeable) are excellent and rugged and seem not likely to break soon, and the grippy rubber is a joy to hold. The 1/4-20 screw actuated by a front and rear operated wheel is well recessed, and strongly and firmly attaches the camera to the grip without play. Its weight is perfect for balancing the camera in vertical mode. I like the button locations and the handy recess to store the contact cover under the grip. The only thing missing is a strap lug on the button end for those of us who want the camera to hang in portrait mode like a Pentax 67 might.
I put camera and grip on a tripod and don't see any excess play. The option of being able to power the camera with AAs in case and not have to worry about bringing a charger along is a huge plus for me. I would definitely buy this again it makes the smallish D600 just right in the heft department, and brings it all to hand so securely that I never feel I might drop the camera.
