After series of delays, Phottix finally announced their battery grip for Nikon D3100 , the BG-D3100. I can’t find any detail specs about the grip , only these :
This grip takes one or two EN-EL14 batteries. Effectively double your shooting time and make a small camera body easier to hold. This grip comes with a shutter-release button to make vertical shooting easy and comfortable . A short cable connects the battery grip to the Nikon D3100′s remote port to provide this functionality.

The specs and photos looks similar to earlier Pro/MeiKe battery grip. Check Pro battery grip image below .. pretty similar right?
Pro battery grip
The Phottix battery grip is in-stock and available for $55 at Phottix Store.
That is almost $10 more expensive than Pro/Meike version ! Hmm , and if both grips are identical , i think you should go for Pro/Meike battery grip ( available on Amazon ) instead.
