Nikon MB-N12 Power Battery Pack

Nikon MB-N12 Power Battery Pack Vertical Grip for Nikon Z8
Multi-Battery Power Grip & Vertical Controller – Dual EN-EL15 Battery Capacity, Hot-Swap Support, USB-C Charging/Power Delivery & Ergonomic Vertical Controls (Includes Original Packaging / Pristine Condition)

The Nikon MB-N12 is a dedicated multi-battery power vertical grip engineered specifically for the Nikon Z8 full-frame mirrorless camera. Designed to enhance handling stability, balance, and operational stamina, it provides a deep, ergonomic vertical grip for portrait-orientation shooting while extending camera runtime. Accommodating two EN-EL15 series rechargeable batteries (EN-EL15c, EN-EL15b, or EN-EL15a), the MB-N12 increases battery life by approximately 1.8x compared to using a single in-camera battery, ensuring extended shooting capability for long studio sessions, video productions, and event coverage.

Equipped with hot-swappable dual-battery bays, users can replace one depleted battery while the other continues to power the camera without interruption. The grip integrates a built-in USB-C port that supports in-grip battery charging (compatible with EH-7p and EH-8p charging adapters, even when detached from the camera body) as well as continuous USB power delivery and tethering connections. For seamless vertical shooting ergonomics, the grip incorporates a secondary shutter release button, front and rear command dials, an AF-ON button, a sub-selector multi-controller, and an assignable Fn function button, mirroring horizontal camera control and matching the rugged weather-sealing standards of the Nikon Z8 body.
