Wtf!!! The lights really????

Not sure why you are complaining when you can't even make decent video explaining yourself.

They should have just included a remote for that. 60 seconds isn't the problem if it is just displayed on a shelf, but it is definitely a problem when you opt for an acrylic glass case display. I wish they had done a remote with it or at least made it possible if someone wanted to just do that.

Not sure what that yellow box is inside under the Flux Capacitor or why the wire clips on the exterior are purple. Also supposed to have the GoodYear Eagle GT tire lettering. On the plus side, the solid blue on the exterior appears to finally have been done right and nice and solid. Although the plutonium exhaust steam shouldnt be going off the same time as the blue lights.

I see a ton wrong in the details. Not accurate what so ever. That's two dissappointments Tomy has made the TOS Enterprise and now this. I don't have high hopes for the Refit Enterprise due to ship out late next year

I mean wasn't the tos enterprise have the same issue? Unless it like states it needs a charger or cable I wouldn't expect it to stay on for a long time.

I hope and pray they do not do this with the enterprise

My recollection from a Hasbro rep on a different product (Ghostbusters related) was something to the effect that toys aimed at young children have regulations about timers for use. They could theoretically up the age rating on this one product but, essentially, the problem is that higher age ratings might not hold up in court if someone with a young child made a complaint because SO MUCH of their product is rated 4+ that some courts or regulatory agencies would say that it's irrelevant when they give an individual product a higher age rating because the prevalence of lower age ratings on their product creates some kind of "reasonable expectation" for certain purposes that you don't need to look at the age rating and the lower age rating standards always apply. There are basically two workarounds. One is if they completely didn't put Tomy (or Hasbro or whatever) prominently on the box. But that creates marketing problems because then they have a famous, trusted brand that has to be fine print. I guess maybe they could have gotten away with another brand owned by the company, like just Takara, maybe. But that can also have its own issues, including Universal maybe not wanting to license to a more obscure brand or one that isn't in U.S. markets. (Takara wouldn't have worked here anyway but SOME other Tomy affiliated brand might.) The other workaround -- and this is what Hasbro sometimes does -- is to quietly engineer in some unadvertised way to disable to child features. For example, the circuit board on the Proton Pack made by Hasbro used very simple, no weld connectors and had extra spaces. But they basically have to void your warranty if you get in there AND they generally can't tell you what they did. Hasbro reps are fond of literally winking at the camera and saying vague things like how customizers will enjoy some choices made. But the two things to consider here are that we haven't had anyone take this apart yet to see if there are easter eggs or design choices quietly made for modders AND that Tomy seems very serious about the quality of their warranty and doesn't seem to want to send mixed messages about whether it's okay to void your warranty. Hasbro by contrast is fairly good about standing behind product but they don't have nearly the kind of explicit warranty Tomy does. I believe Tomy will fully replace any unit with defects they caused for 12 months. So if there is a hidden workaround for the timer built in for adult collectors, basically, Tomy would never publicly admit they put it there deliberately.

Welp ive already opened mine and im sure ebay sales will plummet once word gets out about the timer. So.... time to dissasemble and fix it myself! Ill open her up after the beginning of the year and report back when i find a fix. Good luck ladies and gents

Yeah thats stupid and why u don't get multiple options for time for that money is crazy. And the Chinese wonder why the factory's are struggling.

Interesting. Im still waiting for mine to arrive.

Timer doesn't bother me. The finish does. Mine and other have trouble with the finish applied to the metal.

I get your disappointment, more disappointing is that Doc doesn't fit into it. I have mine shipped out but not reached yet. For the lighting continuously ON, you can use a regulated AC supply if you can do that sort of mod. I know it should have come from Tomy but that's the best solution for now.

Hello Do you have the NECA BTTF ANIMATED SERIE, DOC AND MARTY figures to place inside? I'm looking for the right Delorean to go with those 5 inch figures

I think for the price it's an excellent model. Very detailed. Somewhat agree on the light time issue. It's really not that big of a deal, but a choice of time would be a nice option, I agree. There's a lot of cool details, the time circuits display, the HVAC controls are extremely detailed, etc. I'm quite happy with mine!

Are those physical buttons or are they capacitive?

I just knew from the talk on the kickstarter page that lighting this thing as a display piece was going to be a no go. Disappointed. Tomy seems to have gotten confused as to whether this is a playlet or a display item. That timer is ridiculous. My anticipation for receiving this has been diminished for sure.

What did you use for the fog? Didn’t see anything in the instructions on what to use.

Let me just add...NOT bashing this nice model from Tomy, but the strange timer is an odd failure for some people to be sure. I don't need Tomy's help protecting my batteries! LOL! I'm hoping there's a fix for this.

You're the only person I've seen make mention of what seems obvious from here. Why not fill the underside pockets of the base stand with epoxy resin and some lead weights. The more the base weighs the more stable it will be overall seems to me.

Bought the turntable and sending it back. At the slowest speed it stutters slightly, and for the price imho it is louder than it should be.

Don’t look at it too closely as mine has smudges and paint bubbles. Clearly Tony dropped the ball on quality.

I thought you figured out how to get the lights on wired. That rotation looks lovely, just don't have the room for a 360 movement.

I still think the end spheres should light up because in the show at times they had the illusion that they did

Robert awesome very cool sitting on that large turntable 2 thumbs up I have 1 from TOMY 1/350 scale Diecast Enterprise still in the shipping box I have no room to display this awesome Diecast Enterprise going to work on that problem thanks for sharing have a great day.

That's how she got that seam completely around the primary hull!

Well done!

Gorgeous!

"She's caught in a temporal vortex Cap'n, a flat spin! I canna break 'er free!!"

I just wish i had one.

I think that model is definitely worth the money regardless of the screw covers that people are complaining about. It is fine guys the model is beautiful.

Really nice display!!! Where did you get the rotating display? I'd be into that!

Hello, I am interested in buying this grip. Have you noticed any problems with it shorting or anything in the past 5 years?

Thank you

What batteries were you using in the grip for this review? It only does 9fps with the AAs or the EN-EL18 right? If using the EN-EL18 can you use a standard battery compartment cover?

Have you worked out how to activate video with the Meike remote?

I bet those 3rd party grips dont use magnesium.....

Wasted Opportunity, I shoulda pushed it a little more.

a few things ..i use nikon grips on my d850 with L plates .. cheap grips wobble about on tripods . making them useless .. add an L plate ( bracket) makes the wobble worse .. whats the point ? no photographer is putting up with a grip wobbling about on a tripod , my nikon grip is a sturdy beast with an L plate .. if you skimp your not getting a bargain your getting plastic bits for show !

One question. During a timelapse if the first battery is empty (after some hours of timelapse) the second battery will be selected by the camera automatically without interrupting the timelapse? , or the user has to manually stop the timelapse, manually select the second battery and manually resuming the timelapse?

You probably don't read comments on 2 year old videos but I was compelled to write one in case you do. I'd done a lot of research on 3rd party grips, the pros, cons, and issues some people had. But it was this video that caused me to pull the trigger on this Meike for my D850. It's exactly as you said, "god, why would you buy the Nikon?!" Particularly hand held which is all I'm interested in. I must say however that I'm reluctant to trust the security of the connection to a tripod, particularly with a heavy lens. If someone regularly needs to mount a grip to a tripod, the Nikon's full inner metal construction would probably hold up better over the long run. The Meike only has a strip of metal in the bottom on the inside that the ¼-20 is attached to. So I won't be using the remote. I have other ways to remotely trigger the shutter. Plus the D850 already has the additional functionality of the remote built into the camera. Anyway, I love this grip. Feel great in the hand and just works all the time.

How did you pair the remote? Does a certain camera setting have to be turned on (i.e. - Bluetooth, WiFi, etc)? Why is there no video on how to do this?

Do 3rd party grips still grant 9fps after the latest firmware update?

Great review and good advice. I got a 3rd party grip for my D90, a Mekie for my D7100 and the Meike for my D850, all " still " work great to this day. The added value for me is the wireless RF remote. Using RF or radio frequency gives long range and fewer errors. Actually, no errors for me. It even works with a D18 battery for long life and the 9fps mode. I have never paid the fools price for the oem grip. I have a family, i was lucky to get my cameras. I started with Pentax in the late 1970s and 35mm film. If i had it to do again, I'd stick with Pentax. They even put the anti-shake in camera, NOT in each lens so you pay again and again. Shame on u Nikon!

what about compatibility? I had Meike grip for D810 that worked very weird.

I have tried and tried to establish connection between the remote and grip - any advice? Thank you!

Hi there good video, I bought the grip on the advice received on this video and am totally happy. However I cannot make the remote control work? Is there a setting I need to change on the 850 to make the wireless remote work ? Help would be much appreciated and thanks in advance.

Very helpful...I went for the Meike MKD850+ Duracell DRENL18 battery + BLC5 + Third party charger = 140 GBP Nikon EN EL18 battery = 175 GBP (forget the grip and charger.) And all for 9fps...
