Hello All.. A few digests back, one of our own mentioned that he had picked up a used Canon GR80TP grip (which includes a built-in table top tripod affair) and it mounted very well to the '70. Having for some time bemoaned the fact that Nikon had not made provisions for a vertical use situation with this camera, I ordered one through my local Ritz Camera. Delivered in three days, I filed down the small metal register pin, and placed it on my trusted '70...Voila!! A fantastic vertical hold. Of course, no vertical release, but this unit does mate well to the camera. My only disappointment is that there is NOT a tripod tap in the bottom of the grip. Additionallly, it DOES give the camera a different appearance, which you may or may not appreciate. To the unsung lister (I've misfiled the Digest..) I say Thank you, Sir. Happy Holiday Shooting All!
