Questions & Answers

Deborah J : Can you use this if you use back button focus?David B : Yes. Assign AE-L/AF-L button on your camera for back button focus. Then connect the grip to your camera and scroll through your cameras menu and find the option to assign the AE-L/AF-L button on the MB-D15 grip for back button focus.KALEN J : On my D7200, yes, the function can be assigned and it’s how I use it.JOHN L : Yes. If you have reassigned the AE-L/AF-L button on the camera body to AF-ON then the corresponding button on the grip will do the same thing.GARY T : Not sure.DONALD B : Absolutely AND there is a button on the battery pack to facilitate ack focusing when holding the camera in the vertical or portrait position.
GENE P : I have a knockoff brand. A couple things (duel push of format/mirror lock) don't work maybe more. When on tripod it has a bit of a sag. I know Nikon has tri mount but does it sag? Had a b grip on a D70 and it was rock solid w/both batteries in grip. Never had to remove it. Don't mean to sound repetitive. Thanks!BRUCE M : Not knowing what tripod or lens you using it could be that your tripod is too light. You should not have any sag.CHARLES B : I've used the knock off and the nikon grips, nikon is more secure, but still a small amount of play, all buttons work perfectly.GARY T : I like mine and I have no trouble with it, no sagging.
STEVEN P : can this be used with a tripod?WYATT T : Yes, there is a place to attach a tripod or monopod to the bottom of the grip.WAYNE M : Yes it can. There is a recess right were it would be on the bottom of the cameraJames H : Tripod , Monopod not a problemJOHN L : Yes. I use mine with a manfrotto quick release which stays on it all the time.LAWSON B : Yes, it is very strong and well builtJARMAL W : Yes. I've had this grip for 3 years now and it worth the money.MONICA G : Maybe with smaller lenses like 35mm or 50mm but anything larger the camera will not stay balanced. I would not recommend you use this as a tripod, but in a pinch it's a possibility.TERRY B : Yes and MonopodVICKY D W : YES..ATTACHED WITH QUICK RELEASE TO CAMERA AND TRIPODWILLIAM O : Yes. I use it with the Sirui quick release plate so it's quicker to get camera off tripod.BRIAN P : YesPETER F : Yes, a standard tripod mount is included on the bottom of the power pack.ELOY M : Yes, definetly.MELISSA I : Yes!JEFF M : Sure! No problem!GARY T : Certainly, you just need a tripod with a screw plate.Clifford P : Yes, definitely. CPPATRICIO L : Yes, it Can. it has a standard tripod thread mount in the bottom.

Nikon Does it Again. Excellent Accessory !

This device completes the camera. Looks and feels great and the added battery compartment lets me shoot much longer.

Replacement MB D15 grip

This replaced an MB D15 that got water damaged earlier this year. The unit is a great grip and addition to any D7100 or D7200 camera.

Battery Grip for Nikon D7200

The grip fits perfectly on my camera. It is exactly the fit an quality I expect from Nikon. The grip simplifies taking photos in different orientations. I would highly recommend this grip to my friends. Working with Adorama is always a pleasure. The items I order are delivered timely and in perfect condition.

A must have.

This grip is a must have for me. It give my D7200 a well balanced feel when shooting hand held. When shooting in portrait mode its easier using the rotation of the grip rather than holding your hand over top of the camera. Not to mention that it gives your camera a professional look. Having the use of two batteries is great when shooting for long periods of time. This by far has been a Great addition to my camera.

The Extra Boost

With the battery grip you shooting time is extended (2 batteries). The grip also aids those with large hands to be able to hold and maneuver the camera.

Better than off brands

The Nikon grip fits much better than any third party grip. I tried others and they never fit snug, they always had a little wiggle in them no matter how much I tightened them to the camera. Plus the Nikon feels very solid and well built. Third party grips always feel cheap and flimsy. The Nikon grip is well worth the cost.

Perfectly content

It does everything it’s designed to do, well. It’s constructed to the same build quality as the camera. Maybe it’s expensive, but for those wanting quality and compatibility it’s an essential choice.

The grip is great and it gives you the professional feel to the camera

I presently own a D7100 with the MB-D15 attached to it. The grip is great and it gives you the professional feel to the camera. I have used the Nikon F3HP (2 of them) both with the MD-4 motor drives, and the D200 with the MB-D200 this MB-D15 gives you that added feel and gives you that auxiliary shutter button in vertical position. I purchased the D7200 and had to have an additional MB-D15 for the D7200. Would not shot without one. If you never had one I highly recommend putting one on your camera and see how it feels. I bet you'll be buying one for your camera

An excellent addition to my Nikon D7200 body! It provides the additional battery needed for wildlife photography, as well as a better grip on the camera, for vertical shots.

Nice...except for...

Unit is as advertised...nice fit and finish. My single negative is that the battery grip has to be removed from the camera body in order to access the battery in the camera. Would be very nice if the unit held both batteries, eliminating the need to remove it in order to reach the battery in the camera body.

Great Buy

I have always been a fan of using Nikon brands instead of third-party brands. This grip is no exception and it works great. It fit's snug and doesn't wobble like other brands might. The extra battery is a huge plus, but it does make it difficult to reach for the battery inside the camera. However, you can set it up to use the battery in the grip first and it isn't such a hassle then. Definitely recommend it!

Extra power for my D7200

The Nikon MB-D15 fit perfectly and snug on my Nikon D7200. I bought this power pack so I could carry an extra Li battery in the camera when traveling on airlines. Also, it gives me the capability of using AA alkaline batteries when recharging is not available. This unit seems well designed and has a great feel.

Nice, but could have been built better

This is a great accessory for the D7100 or D7200 but it could be made a lot better. The fit of the MS-14EN lithium-ion battery holder is not that great and mine fell out and broke one day because of this problem. I'd recommend that Nikon move production of this item back to Japan, where the quality control and manufacturing standards are better.

The handiest accessory

I like having the camera grip fill my palm, whether or not I'm shooting horizontal or vertical. Adding the MB-D15 to my Nikon D7200 provides the same controls and comfort for my crop-sensor camera that i enjoy on my full-frame D750. I love it.

Great grip - but just one battery?

I have to say I actually bought the grip as a "grip" and not as a battery extender. Great grip - feels great and no issues on the "grip" part. I have a similar grip for my old D200 and that was just about perfect. Just having one battery in the grip is kinda silly and having to take the grip off to get the 2nd battery in camera is equally silly. Having said that, you now have an alkaline battery holder for emergencies and the battery life on the one battery is amazing - so my issues about the one battery is actually not much of an issue.

Great Battery Grip

This battery grip is just the best one you can buy for your camera. It fits like it came with the camera and it looks great on the camera. Makes your gear look like you know what you are doing even if you don't. Fit, finish and controls work perfect. Highly recommend this product.

Great for my Hands.

The MB-D15 is a quality product. It fits my Nikon D7200 like a glove. The added battery life is a plus. My reason for purchase is that it adds some heft to my camera and I have large hands so it helps to give me a comfortable grip on the camera body. I wouldn't go third party. Spend the extra bucks and get a quality product and of course buy it from Adorama. They do quality business.

Doesn't deserve one star

One of THE most USELESS pieces of equipment that I have ever owned! Too one dimensional and does not work well with all of the different setting in the camera! I suggest spending less money on a paperweight that looks a bit better! Mine never has worked properly!! The focus point continues to have a mind of it's own and starts moving and stops where it wants to!! Spend your money on something else!

Quality unit. User Guide useless.

Haven't had a chance to use the Battery Pack since recent purchase. It appears to be well made and high quality. I have been using Nikon battery packs since my F3HP days, and have been satisfied. However the User Guide for this unit is a joke. It comes in 12 languages, except readable English.

Great Battery Back-up in the field or when using video

I purchased the Power pack because my new Telephoto lens was sucking up a lot of power; This also occurs when using video. The grip fits perfectly, installs easily and automatically uses the grip battery as the primary and enables you to use your camera functions conveniently when in the portrait position. It does add weight to your D7200 (of which one of its selling points is its shedding weight). In my case which involves a tripod with gimbal head I wasn't concerned. The power pack also gives you a better grip when shooting hand held. Not essential but a nice addition to your kit.

Solid quality, fits snug but a little pricey.

By Bursie

This battery grip makes the D7100 look and feel amazing! The cost is somewhat high for a grip but you get what you pay for. The grip matches the body perfectly and the rubber has plenty of grip. The added buttons and joystick are well positioned for vertical handling. The grip fits snug with no play, and makes handling bigger lenses a treat. The only other gripe I have about the grip besides the cost is that you have to take the grip off to reach the spare battery.

An Excellent Addition.

By ENMcM

I received this on December 24th 2013, and have not been able to put my camera (D7100) down since. Not only does it double the battery life but it balances the camera and makes vertical shots a lot easier and quicker to handle in light of the extra shutter release button but also the extra multi-selector and command dial. It also makes handling with my 70-300mm Zoom lens a lot more balanced. In case you have not realized already I am very pleased with this product. Before making the purchase ...

If you're looking to enhance your Nikon D7100 or D7200's performance and ergonomics, the Nikon MB-D15 Multi Battery Power Pack/Grip is an indispensable accessory. Designed to extend your shooting time and provide a more comfortable grip when capturing images in portrait orientation, the MB-D15 integrates seamlessly with your camera's design.

The MB-D15 is meticulously crafted with a robust build and a comfortable rubberized grip that complements the camera's form factor. It is equipped with a comprehensive set of controls, including a dedicated shutter-release button, AAE/AF lock button, multi selector, and main- and sub-command dials, all strategically positioned for intuitive operation when shooting vertically. These additional controls ensure that photographers can maintain their shooting rhythm without having to reposition the camera or their hands, resulting in a smoother and more efficient workflow.

Powered by either six AA batteries (Alkaline, Ni-MH, or Lithium) or EN-EL15 rechargeable Li-ion batteries, the MB-D15 provides flexibility for photographers on the go. The inclusion of the MS-D14 AA Battery Holder and the MS-D14EN Battery Holder allows for easy switching between power sources, ensuring that you can keep shooting even during extended sessions or in remote locations where charging may not be possible.

The MB-D15 not only doubles your battery life but also enhances the handling of the camera, especially when paired with larger lenses. It adds a professional look and feel to the camera, while the snug fit ensures a secure attachment without any play. The grip's thoughtful design allows for easy access to the camera's battery compartment, although it requires removal to change the spare battery.

In summary, the Nikon MB-D15 Multi Battery Power Pack/Grip is a high-quality, reliable addition to your Nikon D7100 or D7200, offering extended power options and improved handling for both amateur and professional photographers seeking to capture the perfect vertical shot with ease and comfort.
