This grip is identical to the Pentax one, but made of plastic and lacks the weather seals. It may not have the same durability but for the price it's a great deal. Interestingly, the controls all work even without a battery in the grip, which makes it useful as a vertical grip even without using it for additional power supply. The front edge positioning peg is a bit too large to fit into the positioning hole in the base of the K-5 camera, but the difference is very small and can be adjusted by just routing out the hole a very very small amount. On first attempt to mount the grip, it wouldn't go flush because of this but no damage was caused. Don't know if this is the same on the K-7.

Essential addition to photography in the countryside in that it provides essential battery backup as well as enhancing camera usability ( portrait and landscape operation) - while it adds to the camera weight its positive aspects far outweigh this minor negative. It also allows use of 'aa' batteries in an emergency. Highly recommended
