Ordered this grip on June 23rd, arrived in Canada within a week. Tested it recently at a softball game and it last about 150 frames before loosing connectivity, which could not be restored. I have several years of excellent 3rd party grips working perfectly on Nikon D750 but this is the second after market failure with my Z8. Will request return.

Is the multi selector supposed to do all the functions that the one on the Z8 camera body does?
Asked by: Mario
Yes, the Vello Battery Grip for Nikon Z8's multi selector (joystick) does all the functions that the one on the Nikon Z8 mirrorless camera body does. The user experience may not fully match the performance and responsiveness of the multi selector on the Z8 camera body.
