The purpose of a camera’s battery grip is to weigh it down, you begin to have second thoughts about your hobby.

Seriously, the battery grip holds an additional battery. Therefore more photographs can be made. It will not increase the speed of the camera. You don’t switch out another battery prematurely.

Personally, I feel that a battery grip is to impress others that you have the largest camera around. In reality, NO!


I have a left hand that is only semi-operational. The grip is a great help when shooting vertical portraits, such as at a wedding.

Thank you!
I think the Nikon Z's don't have the battery grip option. You either have a permanent one like the Z9 or none.
Besides none of the third party grips will increase the fps.


I'm curious. Why do so many people add to a thread with an "I think" instead of looking up and posting facts that can maybe help somebody? Unfortunately, too many 'I thinks' turn into 'facts' on UHH.

The battery grip hooks 2 batteries up in parallel = same voltage longer time between recharge the increase speed is nominal and temporary and will fade after a few shots that u won't notice anyway if it not shooting at light speed (which isn't humanly possible) what does it matter anything past 3fps is just showing off anyway not to mention all those shots u'll erase due to no use
