NIKON<\/strong> has just announced a new full-frame mirrorless camera, the Z 5<\/strong>. This fits under the current Z 6 <\/strong>with a slightly redesigned top plate, cropped 4K video, but strangely 2 memory card slots (SDXC) and at an estimated European price of 1500\u20ac – frankly I think they’ve missed the boat with this one – the more advanced Z 6<\/strong> is available for only a few hundred euros more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

More interesting to me, at least, is the fact that NIKON<\/strong> have also announced a grip and vertical bracket, much like the SMALLRIG<\/strong> and MEIKE<\/strong> grips that have been available for the last 18 months.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I have to say that I think they must start feeding the poor sod hidden away in a cupboard somewhere, who was tasked with coming up with these designs – nice try, but why not look at what else is out there first?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I mean, who needs to fold a bit out of the way to change the battery?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

NIKON<\/strong> recently announced the V50<\/strong> Video-logging kit with the Z-50 and various accessories – one being a SMALLRIG<\/strong> grip designed to hold a screen etc. SMALLRIG<\/strong> make some excellent accessories, why not use what they have designed, as is often the case, rather than create this ‘thing’ ?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sorry mate – back to the drawing board – oh and by the way, just a thought, will it fit the Z 6\/7<\/strong> ? <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This seems unlikely as the grip on the Z 5<\/strong> is actually 2 millimeters deeper than the previous cameras…<\/p>\n\n\n\n

UPDATE<\/strong> – it seems that people who can read Japanese have translated the NIKON<\/strong> Japan website page for this grip and it seems it will fit all the full-frame Z series camera bodies. The existing battery grip ( MB-N10<\/strong> ) will also fit the Z 5<\/strong>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
