Nikon MB-D17 Battery Grip 27169

Comment:

Yes it is a little expensive. Quality items usually are! Having said that, I rarely, as in almost never, use my D500, w/o the grip attached. I find the extra gripping surface and weight a huge plus. It feels superb in the hand. Comfortable!!Now as far as Im concerned, I thin the battery life could be a little better. My OEM EN EL 18b gets about 500 frames per charge. I do spend only an average amount of time reviewing photos, and in menus. I never edit, or anything like that in camera. So its not that. Maybe its a sample issue of my battery??Anyway, having said this, I would still not be w/o it, as I never am. I love it, and today ordered a RRS L bracket for the MB D17, and no plate for the camera w/o a grip, if that backs up my review.Hope this helps someone. Thanks.

I bought the grip attachment to use along with my D500 for portraiture. What I like about it the most is that you’ll have double the battery life allowing you to make the most use of lenses when your in an environment that necessitates aggressive auto-focus, vibration reduction, and using liveview to either film or take photographs. It’s as easy as plug and play, just make sure you turn off/on the switch when needed. Nice to have when you’re out and about in the city and don’t want to spend time charging batteries!

Cant beat the fit and finish of a Nikon grip. Get this in a package while it’s on sale with the D500 and it’s a smoking deal.

Works perfectly with my Nikon d500. No connection problems and with d500’s power hungry design having the extra battery gives me enough time to finish my shoots without having to change batter’s in the middle.

Battery base for Nikon D500. I have owned multiple Nikon Brand units for 6 different Nikon DSLRs. THE d500 seems to run through batteries faster than my D810, D750 or 7100. The AA battery tray is a life saver. If you are out in the cold where battery life is shorter or you do time lapse… this is a necessity. I purchased a used unit.. 100% complete and mint

In my opinion, this is highway robbery by Nikon. Nonetheless, I bought it so I guess they got away with it. It is well made and I wanted to have it … just shouldn’t cost this much.

So happy with this. This adds such a great feel to my D500 and also of course lengthens the time I can go without changing batteries.

Great optional addition, but not totally necessary. It does add more weight to the camera.

Purchased the Nikon D500 with the the MB-D17 battery grip. Buy the legit battery grip. The aftermarket are too flimsy and they do not feel the same.

Great price and service through Best Buy is the reason why I shop there.

Thanks BB…!

Always nice to have the vertical grip. Easier to shoot verticals and also have the extra battery
