All I did was take it apart to remove the battery insert piece (that normally fits into the camera on a Nikon), put it back together, and then used a couple strips of that tacky rubber stuff that people put on the back of their area rugs (so they don't slip), and that was it. The only thing I wanted was a little bit more weight, but I wasn't willing to buy a Nikon battery to fit inside (anything else just rattled around inside). The fit is solod, and while it doesn't match the camera lines perfectly, it's close enough, and it gives you something extra to get your hand on. I would take another picture or two, but I just sold it (along with the grip) to a friend looking to get into photography.
