That's right. The K-7, K-5 and K-3 all share the same model grip. However, it would be nice if there were room for two spare SD cards in the grip since the K-3 has two card slots. I tend to set my K-3 to write to both cards (to have a backup) instead of filling the cards in sequence. Yonnie On Sa

You can make a wired remote very easily by taking a 1/8" headphone jack and running the leads into a push button switch. You can also make a shorted jack and by inserting it into the remote port it will just fire continuously. This is actually a pretty decent idea for time lapses as it will give yo
