Dedicated to enhancing the functionality of the Z8 mirrorless camera, the Nikon Nikon MB-N12 Power Battery Pack stands as a versatile multi-battery vertical grip. This accessory serves a dual purpose, delivering additional power to prolong shooting sessions and offering a more comfortable grip when working in the vertical orientation.
Boasting a well-thought-out design, the MB-N12 integrates a secondary shutter release, control dials, and a function button to enable more intuitive shooting control. With the capability to accommodate two EN-EL15-type batteries, this grip provides an impressive battery life that is approximately 1.8 times longer than relying solely on the camera's single in-camera battery. Moreover, swapping one battery while on the go is a breeze thanks to the ability for hot-swapping. The inclusion of a USB-C port further expands the versatility of the MB-N12, facilitating connectivity with external power sources, charging via the EH-7p or EH-8p, and enabling seamless tethering or connection to other equipment. Notably, it is worth mentioning that the MB-N12 allows for charging of the batteries while detached from the camera.
