Fantastic addition to the ability to use many of the controls over a Nikon Z series camera while not directly touching the camera itself! I usually mount it to the bar handle on my fluid head and can control focus as well as zooming functions without having to awkwardly use the buttons on the camera itself, which can result in shaking and/or jerky movement while filming. This can also be used for still photography purposes, particularly in sports or wildlife tracking situations to great effect.
This is a handy remote grip if you are doing video capture on a gimbal or mounted on a tripod. A USB-C cable is required for use. Depending on location of the camera to MC-N10, the supplied cable may be a little short. The price is quite significant for what appears to be a limited use item. Using it will take a little to get accustomed to; the F1 and F2 buttons are rather small and would be better if they were the same size and placement as they are on the Z camera bodies. This goes for the exposure compensation button as well; the placement is not the same as the camera bodies. You'll have to adjust your muscle memory to use the remote grip. If you don't already have the proper connector or adapter, you'll need to buy one to use the rosette connection of the remote grip. All in all, I need it, so I'll use it to reduce and eliminate the need to touch the camera bodies while recording video or getting a gimbal shot set up. I also hope an updated version will be made that aligns better to the camera bodies so there won't be a need to hunt for buttons or look away while you have a shot composed. Giving it 3 stars for the price and button location/size.
