Nikon MB-D16 Multi Battery Power Pack/Grip for D750

I have two Nikon D750 cameras and two MB-D16 grips. As far as I'm concerned the grip is quite advantageous for every photographer who shoots on location and who needs to shoot for long periods of time. The light weight grip - that holds a second battery allowing you to keep shooting for hours on end - has an extra shutter button ergonomically positioned for vertical shots. I have used Nikon grips for my last several Nikon dSLR cameras (D300, D700, D600), and I consider them integral to efficient shooting for all my photo assignments. These grips are consistently dependable, durable and highly recommended.

I have owned several knock off brand grips for various bodies, including the D750. When that one started missing input from the command dials it was time to bite the bullet and pay full price for the OEM. No regrets at all. The Nikon is, well Nikon. Superb fit and finish, solid construction. perfect functions. Expensive: yes. A "rip-off" as some say: no.

Works Great! The D750 already does pretty well with battery life, and this doubles it. Being able to swap batteries without turning off the camera comes in handy. I do find my hand is big enough that I tend to press the shutter release on the battery grip when using the camera's grip. So, I have to make sure I turn off the battery grip controls when I don't need them.The switch to turn the battery grip's controls on/off is a little stiff. But I guess that keeps you from accidentally flipping it.

It's got a nice heft and I can even see part of its magnesium frame by looking into the battery compartment at an unpainted portion. Also reassuring to have the peace of mind that it's a Nikon accessory on a Nikon camera body with a Nikon USA Warranty.I've used an aftermarket grip on my D7100 in the past and have had a great (albeit short term, ie. less than one year) experience with a company called "Vello". With that, I chose to purchase another Vello grip for my D750, but this time I experienced issues with the joystick on the grip being unreliable. It was as if the joystick wasn't re-centering each time which was a nuisance. If it was consistent, I could have worked around it for the price I paid for it, but it wasn't and when it malfunction it was always a surprise at an inopportune time. However, ignoring the possibility that I got a bad sample, the Vello did weight a few grams more than the Nikon grip. I'm assuming because of extra plastic used in its construction to make it as durable as the lighter magnesium Nikon grip. That's a good thing in my eyes because I would be a little worried if the plastic Vello weighed less than the magnesium Nikon.The command dials on the Vello grip were also much easier to spin, both front and rear dials. The Nikon grip has a very tight front dial, especially tough to spin if it's warm and your finger tips aren't absolutely dry. I'm hoping the front dial on this Nikon grip "breaks in" so to speak, and becomes easier to spin. The rear dial on the Nikon grip is a bit easier to spin, but not nearly as easy as the dial on the D750 body itself.While both the Nikon and Vello grips have a full length reinforcing bar for the bottom tripod mount, I do feel better knowing that the Nikon has a magnesium frame vs the plastic one on the Vello (which for all I know, could be just as tough, or tougher), but I don't have the resources to test that out.I had a completely terrible experience with a DSTE grip I purchased here, but I won't go into that unless someone really wants to know.Bottomline: I am not happy with the price Nikon is charging for this battery grip, and I would have been perfectly content with the Vello grip (and even strongly suggest it as the best alternative) had I not received a faulty one, or if I used it only occasionally, however I made the choice to go with Nikon because I intend on keeping this grip and the camera body for as long as possible (I am a hobbyist, not a paid professional), and I use the grip almost 95% of the time so I would rather avoid risks later down the road. I figure I spent $2k on the camera body, another $2k on a single lens, so what's another $300 for a little bit of insurance and peace of mind? I understand the fallacy in that argument, especially as a hobbyist, but when it comes to choosing tools, or other things of frequent utility, I believe in "buy once, cry once". Giving it 4 Stars because Nikon sells it for over $100 more on their own website, adding proof that it's priced to gouge you.

This is a much needed battery grip for my Nikon D750. Do NOT use the cheaper grips you can find, they're horribl, fall apart, and they do not work well (misfire or do not fire at all, if they even connect), and you really do get what you pay for with them. The OEM MB-D16 never fails, it's ergonomic, and such a great add on for those portrait position shots (no awkward arm positions!). Don't forget to go into your settings and set your camera to which battery is used first and when to switch over. For those of you who have read the Q&A section and may be skeptical because it's not over $300...it IS a genuine Nikon MB-D16 product. Mine is registered, and I've attached a phtoo for you to see it as it was delivered.

My only complaint about the grip is that I had to wait a couple weeks for it to become available. I had to shoot a few FB & VB games without grip after I received my D750 and realized how much I missed it.The MB-D16 worked with my D750 flawlessly right out of the box, and continues to work fine after 2 months and several thousands of pictures. The dials were a little stiff at first, but loosened up fine after a couple weeks of use. Not much else to say about this item... if you need a grip for your D750, you can't go wrong with this one.

It took forever to get this thing but I knew that having it would be a must for my kind of shooting. I've used the version for the D700, the D200 and D300.THE IMPORTANT PART: From my perspective, the only real reason to use this Power Pack and Grip is to get LONG shooting times and the Best Way to do that is to load it with Panasonic Enveloop or Eneloop Pro NiMH batteries. Putting an extra Nikon Battery in the grip will give you run time but what if they both go down. You'll be waiting for one to charge or you're outa luck unless you have the AA carrier handy. If you have the AA battery drawer in, just grab some Alkalines and you're back in business. The Eneloop batteries will add some weight but it's well worth it to get the hours of extra shooting time. Make sure you have a good charger for your Eneloop batteries. I like the Nitecore i4 (version 2) available on Amazon. Also IMPORTANT: Remember to go to your settings and tell the camera what kind of batteries are in the grip. That way you'll get an accurate representation of remaining battery life in the display.

Un producto que para menos de 4000 pesos es un precio justo de echó un poco inflado aparte de que no traía sello de nuevo, la opción de uso es fotografía de retrato y para poder realizar fotografía de larga exposición de echó el botón de apagado se siente que no va a durar a ver cómo nos aguanta.

Rápido e fácil de conectar a câmera.

Battery grip originale Nikon, completo di due adattatori: uno per le batterie EN-EL15 ed uno per le normali batterie AA. All'interno della confezione è presente anche un soft case per riporre l'adattatore che non usiamo al momento. Si presenta molto solido e robusto al tatto e durante l'uso. Personalmente ho notato subito dei benefici quando impugno la mia D750. La presa è parecchio profonda e si adatta perfettamente alla mia mano. Il peso complessivo ovviamente aumenta ma fidatevi, ne vale assolutamente la pena: stabilità notevolmente aumentata per le foto in verticale, autonomia di scatto raddoppiata e una presa ancora più sicura. I materiali sono ottimi ed esteticamente è identica al corpo principale della D750 sia per le plastiche utilizzate sia per gli inserti in gomma. Assolutamente consigliato. Servizio Amazon perfetto e preciso come sempre.

Very convenient way to take photographs vertically and the grip feels really nice and safe in hand! Very highly recommended :)

El precio es un poco alto pero sabes que te va a durar lo que te dure la cámara
