As above, I had the Meike version and it was as good as gold. The battery tray handles are a bit brittle and there's a touch more flex in comparison to the magnesium bodied Nikon version (which I also had) but nothing that should put you off giving one a go. Transforms the handling of a camera for the better in my view

I have a Meike version that I've been using for a while. It doesn't feel quite as nice as the Nikon version, but it works okay in practice.
One thing I did notice recently is my AFL button on the grip won't work for back button focusing. I've not really looking in to the issue greater, it may just be another setting, but it's of note.
Edit to the above, I just found the setting to enable AF-ON via the battery grip. Again, not as nice to press as the one on the camera body. Not sure how it compares to the Nikon.

There's a thread in the D7000 owners forum, I've selected a link but there may be Q&A before and after http://www.talkphotography.co.uk/threads/nikon-d7000-owners-thread.272974/page-83#post-6107971

I'm on my third mickey mouse battery grip and this one is now faulty. I would just go for the Nikon one, save yourself a headache.
