Grips for Nikon D3200

If it was compatible with a D3200 it would say so on the product page, and it doesn't say that.

The vendor has also told you it won't fit/work with a D3200, so that should be all the info you need. It would certainly be enough info for me to make an informed decision not to buy it.

Why not remove all doubt & look for one that specifically states it's compatible with a D3200?

Just type D3200 Battery Grip in to Google & away you go.

Could be the tripod bush (which is used to secure the battery grip to the camera body) on the baseplate of the D3200 body is in a different position compared to the D5100, D5200 etc. That's the only reason I can come up with.

I would have thought that if the vendor tells you it won't fit then that would lose them potential sales of the product, not the sort of thing many vendors would do - many of them would be more inclined to lie in order to secure a transaction, not lose one.

if you've been looking at Nikon ones, you must know whether or not the genuine Nikon battery grip model is the same for both the D3200 & D5200. If they are not the same, that would apply to third-party grips too.

Have you looked at the Vello BG-N12 Battery Grip for Nikon D3100, D3200, & D3300 from B&H Photo? $59.95

Why do you need a grip for an entry level camera? One of the few real advantages of the d3x00 series is how light and small they are. Adding a grip adds weight without improving the camera performance. It will allow easier shooting in portrait mode is all. Also these cheap chinese grips are very poorly made. They move once they are in position. Meaning while shooting your camera might suddenly reboot as the electrical connections flex off and then back on to where they should be.

Save your money towards a fancier camera like a d7200 or adding a nice little lens like a 35mm f/1.8g.

I have not tested that chinese grip on your camera model. I have used a similar one on a different nikon aps-c body and a nikon full-frame body (different grip, different brand) and compared them to the Nikon original grip. In the case of the DX body, I decided that the Nikon grip was too expensive and so I kept the chinese one, mostly because I bought it in a different country and so I could not return it. On the FX I bought the Nikon one. In both cases I ended up almost never using the grip.

The flexing issue is one I read about on a different forum. Several other uses posted about other quality control issues.

How long does the battery last in the d3200 when recording video? In still images (photos) it is better than most other small DSLR cameras (540 shots). It can only record 29 minutes no matter how large the battery is, only a panasonic GH can record longer.
I use a Panasonic GH3 for fancier video and a Sony rx10 for casual video. The Sony also can only record 29minutes at a time. So if I forget to stop it before then, I have to hit the record button again. I use these required stops in recording to swap out batteries when needed. Typically 2 batteries will record a football match.
