How to install the BG-ED3

[jd_D60]

I have just bought the BG-ED3 grip for my D60 and find no instructions enclosed - can anyone explain how to install the grip (and remove the battery cover if required)

[Roger_Cavanagh]

If you flip open the existing battery cover and check the hinge, you will see that there is a little spike on the spindle of the hinge that is spring-loaded and will cause one end to retract. It's simple to do this with a finger-nail or small flat-bladed screwdriver.

It's also easy to replace the cover, if you want to use the camera without the BG.

Thanks for the prompt reply, tried what you said and works a treat - thanks again (just hope I don't loose the removed door.

in the BG is a place to store the door so you can't lose it

Boy, do I feel stupid. I've had my grip since I bought my D60 ..... and I've never spotted the little place to store the door!!!

Nice one robbroek !

Talk about feeling stupid.... I was ready to re-package my grip and send it back because it would not work when I realised it has a separate on/off switch.
one other thing - as you have no instructions I should tell you that your grip will work with one battery in it or with both in it.

....or even with the AC 'plug' in it instead of a battery.

Thanks all so much for good responses - now if only someone could press the shutter at the perfect moment for me.
