Hi all,

I'm sure this has been asked before but i can't seem to find the posts. I work in the Fire Investigation Team of a large Fire Brigade and we have two K3's that get used when investigating large or serious fires. As you can imagine they have taken a lot of abuse over the years and the battery doors on both units have broken.
I did read that the door for a K7 will fit, can any of the knowledgeable folks on here point me in the right direction to get some replacements!!

Many thanks for your help

Christian

Buy a used d-bg5. Add the grip and leave out the battery in the camera. This won’t weigh a ton more that way but fixes your battery door issue.
