The only way I can see it working is if the release adapter, when screwed into the secondary cable release socket on the underside of the camera, below the depth of field preview button, sits above the end of the front lever on the lower front of the hand grip, i.e. the release adapter would be screwed into the camera body before mounting the hand grip. If, so, pressing the release button on the top of the hand grip should cause the end of the lever to move upwards and press against the plunger in the end of the release adapter. The other end of the chain, I think, stays attached to the hand grip to stop the release adapter being lost if dropped when trying to mount / dismount it.
