A Battery Grip for Nikon D7100/D7200 cameras is an accessory that attaches to the bottom of your camera, offering several advantages for photographers:
Enhanced Functionality:
Extended Battery Life: The most significant benefit is significantly increased shooting time. The grip typically holds an extra battery, doubling the life on a single charge. This is crucial for long shoots, events, or situations where recharging might be difficult.
Improved Grip and Handling: The grip provides a more substantial and comfortable hold, especially for larger cameras like the D7100/D7200. This reduces the risk of accidental drops and allows for steadier shooting, particularly helpful with telephoto lenses.
Vertical Shooting Convenience: Many grips come with duplicate controls like a shutter release button, command dials, and an AE/AF lock button. This allows for a more natural and comfortable shooting experience when holding the camera vertically for portrait shots or capturing tall subjects.
