After watching his video (I love that guy's accent 
) I come up with some new thought:
First, uncompressed - opposite of compressed lossless or does he mean "not lossy compressed"? Then, he took a camera from one of his workshop participants. There are some far away dungholes in this menu landscape, I'm not sure what they do, I'm also not sure if there was an XQD card in the slot, but the pictures were recorded by the SD card - this kind of quick mistakes happen easily.
But: He talked a lot about speed (and of course, that's what I would want if I'd up to burn another grand for the plastic (!) grip), but not about all the usual grip downsides. In my experience (from owning 3 different genuine Nikon grips):
In LiveView, with silent shutter and manual focus, all the rest set like for the machine gunning with mirror bang: 58 pictures until buffer first time did show a 0 in the counter. Any ideas how's that possible? Yesterday the counter was like 78 or so. Today I got nearly 60 ", full resolution, 14 bit lossless "Muybridge" style shots. And as I was watching the buffer counter counting down to 0, it first went down from 20 to 10 rather quickly, after that it took much longer to come down to 0.
It might be easier to readout a constant stream - like in taking video. Which is pretty cool, that video - I'm not videographer, but I can see the quality.

- dials and buttons of the grip do feel different and most of the times unfortunately cheaper than the same ones on the camera - don't know how or why they do this.
- for this amount of money I could get three Fuji grips or two with 4 batteries. And these grips would have not only a socket to charge batteries without pulling them out, but also the charger included to do so - shame on you, Nikon!
- the Fuji grips would not need a high voltage battery, but you can get high voltage out of two - or more shots.
- grip and tripod: terribly bad idea, except you're up to get that sophisticated wobbling effect in your pictures, blurr them to hell!
