Would be more useful in a studio...

"The primary reason I like this grip is for shooting with the camera on its end EXTENSIVELY, if you're shooting in a studio environment, or if you are doing a shoot and want to carry ~nothing~ but the camera itself (i.e. more battery life in your hand and not carried in pockets).
