SMALLRIG Z f Handgrip L-Shape Grip for Nikon with Ergonomic Silicone Grip, Built-in Quick-release Plate for Arca for Quickly Switch on Tripods/Handheld Shooting - 4262

A perfect partner for the Nikon Z 8 this grip not only provides a firm and secure mount, with quick release, to any compatible Arca-Swiss type dovetail clamp, its also adds useful support when holding the camera in your hands. It is well engineered, has a robust construction and allows easy access to all the external ports and battery chamber of the camera. Given its highly competitive price it begs the question why anyone would consider a similar product from the likes of Really Right Stuff, or Kirk Photo.

I was supposed to of got a free one from Nikon , but didn’t . So I purchased this one it is well made and matches the black version of the Nikon z F . Give a good grip with out spoiling the looks of the retro Z F . Would buy again if needed.

I'd recommend this to any Zf owner, albeit with conditions.Like many others I've struggled with the ergonomics of the Zf due to the lack of a grip on the body. Yes it may respect the retro form factor of previous models, but it's a pain to handle with a sizeable lens attached, and it detracts from the fun of using such a fantastic camera.The Smallrig grip however overcomes any such issues. Well made and sleek looking, it fits snugly and securely to the camera body, locking into place on the Zf's underside via a 1/4-20 screw and locating pin. The grip has an Arca Swiss compatible mount along the bottom, and the inclusion of three 1/4-20 holes provides alternative mounting options.The battery compartment and SD card slot are fully accessible, and the grip's silicone exterior is identically patterned to blend in with the Zf's body. Anyone who wasn't familiar with the Zf wouldn't know that the grip is a separate component if you gave them the camera.I've deducted a star however because this grip only provides mounting options for the camera in landscape orientation; if you want to capture images in portrait orientation then you need to either rotate your ball head 90 degrees or use the camera handheld. You could also attach a L-bracket to the grip which I did for a time, but it turned the camera into a Frankenstein's monster-type setup which looked ridiculous. For many photographers this may not be a problem and they'd be happy to live with these compromises, but for me as a landscape photographer I ended up replacing the Smallrig grip with a Neewer half cage which overcame this issue (albeit with a little modification).It's a shame that you have to buy such an add-on in the first place to enjoy this camera, and the price isn't exactly pennies either, but it's well made and reliable as all Smallrig products are. I use the grip when I'm out without my tripod, and if you're happy to use the Zf handheld or exclusively in landscape orientation then it'll live on your camera forever.

This grip transforms the handling of the Nikon ZF and is well worth the investment.

Watched so many reviews on this grip before I bought my Nikon zf.I have to say this is definitely a must have accessory for this camera.It makes an incredible difference to the ergonomics of it. It’s a heavy camera & this grip really fits and feels made for it.Don’t even think about it, if you own a Nikon zf, buy this grip.

Fantastic gear, fits my ZF like as if nikon had made it but better

A must if you have the Nikon Zf

Pretty good, but time will tell
