This my be a dumb question ? I have a Nikon D7100 with a Vertical Battery Pack. I also have a Nikon D7500. My question is where or can I get a Vertical Battery for my Nikon D7500 or do they even make one ?

I have the D500 and the D7500. I wanted a vertical battery pack for both of them. I quickly and easily found the pack for the D500 but search as I might I could not find one for the D7500. The D7500 does not have the connector pins on the bottom so I don't think they make one.

That's why I ask the question. I couldn't find one ether. I was just wondering if maybe there was one out there somewhere even without the buttons, for nothing more then looks, balance with my glass, & extra battery life. Thanks for the come back.

This is what you need but looks like you will have to buy a used one or look at Nikon.

The D7500 is severely crippled with regard to battery grip potential. Nikon did NOT put the electric contacts on the bottom of the camera that are required for such a grip to work in the usual fashion. Look closely at the Vello grip (others, too?) and see how little it's capable of.

I looked at the D7500 in detail & thinking the grip will be later & not giving it much though. The 7500 not having the electric contacts on the bottom & the aftermarket ones using a wire up the side would be a no for me. Thanks

Vello used to make one for the D7500, but it was discontinued. I don't think that it is available anywhere.
