| I got the same one, and agree with your observations to a tee.... i wasn't worried about the missing vertical release because on the K100D that would likely need to occupy the remote shutter release input which I actually wanted to use for tripod/macro work. Don't like the wireless remotes much at all. I am really happy with mine and I feel like I've been shooting fairly heavily for a good month and the indicator's still showing full charge.
It may not be the most high end looking/feeling accessory, but for $60 delivered it was the perfect thing to stop my K100D from feeling so small. The car lighter charging may prove to be a bonus some day.
Yes it is kinda overly big and hollow, any longish lens will cause it to tip. It could also do without the bold Travor name plastered on the front. But I still am really happy I bought it. If I had a K20D on the other hand- I wouldn't touch this grip with a 10 ft pole.
Oh yeah and I forgot to add another really minor niggle- and my not so scientific way of assessing electronics build quality- the cord! I like a substantial wire type, but this one on the ac charger is the crappy thin brittle type that doesn't inspire a lot of confindence.
