Could be better, but meets expectations.
It's a must-have if you shoot hand-held with larger or heavier lenses like the 100-400mm. The extra bulk helps with handling and the weight adds stability. But it comes off when I have any smaller lens mounted. For me, it's purely about ergonomics with the larger/heavier lenses. For the extra battery life, I'd just as well carry a couple of spares in my pocket and swap them out.
I also appreciate that I can charge the batteries in the grip with the included power supply. I just wish that I could charge all three batteries in the camera with that power supply, or from the USB-C port. Needing to charge the body battery and the grip batteries separately seems like a design oversight.
The materials of the grip also don't perfectly match the materials of the X-T3, for which this grip was specifically made. That seems a little odd to me, but doesn't cause any problems. everything still fits nicely and feels good in the hand.
They cleverly made a pocket in the grip to hold the dust cover from the camera body, but there isn't a convenient place to store the plastic cover that protects the grip's pins. Another place where it seems like designers had a good idea, but failed to follow through all the way.
With the grip on, it's a challenge to squeeze the body in and out of the quick-access side-entry on my dedicated camera bag (Wandrd Provoke 31L). This is a bag that's designed to accommodate a FF DSLR, and I've tested it with the D750 (sans battery grip). So with the grip attached, the X-T3 becomes bulkier than a DSLR. The square body shape also becomes more awkward to carry with straps. And because of the grip protrusion, the battery grip is awkward to pack when it's removed from the camera.
I have seen, but have not tried, cheaper knock-offs that appear to have identical functionality but at a better value. Honestly, the next time around I will probably look into those more closely.
The OEM VG-XT3 is everything it claims to be, but it's probably a superfluous accessory for most people, and I'm not sure the price is justified in comparison to the Meike version.

Works as expected
Worked as expected. I was able to install a second hard drive in my Alienware M17x_R2 (which is still running fine after 10 years.)

Inexpensive, fast and works great
It's an affordable clamp for swiss-arca style mount plates. Inexpensive, easy to use, the quick release has a locking mechanism to prevent accidental opening. It works great. Why spend a lot more for something that does the same job?
