Is a battery grip worth it?
A battery grip makes your camera not only more comfortable to hold, but returns those key controls to the locations where your motor memory expects to find them. What’s more, a battery grip helps improve stability, particularly when you are shooting with large telephoto or long zoom lenses mounted to your camera.
How much does a battery grip help with the battery life?
Having a battery grip on your camera allows you to keep an extra battery with you at all times – one that the camera will automatically use when your camera’s battery dies. This means you’ve got twice the battery life, without needing to stop and change batteries in the middle of a shoot.
What battery does Nikon D810 use?
The Nikon D810 is a professional DSLR that features a 36.2MP sensor. It is powered by the Nikon EN-EL15, which is a rechargeable Lithium-Ion battery pack. Lithium-Ion batteries offer a high energy density and low self-discharge, and are nowadays found in many portable electronic devices.
What is the point of a battery grip?
A battery grip is an accessory for an SLR/DSLR (and occasionally other cameras), which allows the camera to hold multiple batteries to extend the battery life of the camera, and adds a vertical grip with an extra shutter release (and other controls), facilitating the shooting of portrait photography.
How long does Nikon D810 battery last?
The D810 uses the same EN-EL 15 battery as most other better Nikon DSLRs like the D800, D7000 etc., and it’s now rated for 1,200 shots, up from 900 in the old D800 and D800e. I get about 1,500 shots per charge with an older EN-EL15.
What is the Nikon D850 good for?
The D850 looks like the perfect do-it-all DSLR for professional photographers, but at this price it could appeal to a large number of ambitious amateurs too. It does have a couple of limitations, but overall its combination of resolution, continuous shooting speed and 4K full frame video is just jaw-droppingly good.

Which is the best battery grip for Nikon D810?
Several third party manufacturers offer more economical battery grips for the D810. I tried out the Vello BG-N7, which costs $89.95. While the BG-N7 won’t massage your back, the savings compared to Nikon’s grip just might.
