SmallRig Z f Handgrip L-Shape Grip for Nikon with Ergonomic Silicone Grip, Built-in Quick-Release Plate for Arca for Quickly Switch on Gimbal/Tripods/Handheld Shooting - 4262

This grip changes the handling dynamics of the Zf for the better, especially with larger lenses. It fits perfectly and gives every indication of an OEM product at a very reasonable price. Well made. Recommended.

Whether the Zf needs an additional grip is very subjective. I ordered this grip when I decided to purchase the Zf because of how I intended to use the camera. It has a built in arca Swiss bottom rail to make mounting to a trip quick and easy. It also offers the bottom of the camera some protection from rough surfaces when setting the camera down. I put the grip on right away and haven’t really tried using the camera without out but I can tell it makes the camera easier to carry when using a wrist strap. The grip is well built and solid. It can quickly be taken off or put on without tools. The material of the rubber portion feels different than on the body of the Zf. With the grip attached, it can make it more difficult to remove the memory cards due to the limited space between the bottom rail and the card slots. I think this would be the case with other grips for the Zf too since it’s related to the card slot placement and not so much the design of the grip. I would recommend this grip.

I have the Nikon Zf which is a great camera. I'm enjoying the retro style as I learned on a Nikon film camera years ago. Having since used several DSLR (and now mirrorless) cameras for work and travel, I've gotten used to built in grips for ease and comfort of holding a camera while shooting. I picked this up as it's made for the Zf and is recommended by many in reviews. This definitely fits the camera and is the best accessory for the Zf other than lenses. It greatly decreases fatigue and makes the camera easier to hold. The Zf is my daily carry and travel camera and I use it with a wrist strap as opposed to a neck strap. I like to be able to easily pull the camera out of my shoulder/messenger bag to shoot, and put it away after just as easily. You should get this. I am enjoying the Zf even more with it.

UPDATE: Small Rig reached out to me to offer a refund, which shows how awesome of a company they are and with that gesture I have absolutely no worry purchasing from them again. I've updated my rating to reflect that, and also to say that the slippery-ness of my grip has been getting better from repeated uses of alcohol wipes. I believe in my case it was a manufacturing flaw, but I'm not too worried now. It's meant to be used and overall I do feel it's worth the money, therefore I turned down the refund. Thank you Small Rig for reaching out to try to make things right. This fits the Zf perfectly, and it feels great in the hand especially if you're shooting one handed. In my particular case, I tend to use a wrist strap more than my neck strap, so with the grip it's super secure when in a down position and the camera is pretty much hanging from my fingers. It matches the Zf nicely as well. I wished the bottom plate was a little shorter, but definitely not a deal breaker. The one thing I absolutely hate about this grip is that the rubber grip seems to release some type of slippery/oily substance. It's weird, as I don't see anybody else mentioning thing. When I first noticed how slippery the grip was, I assumed it was from my hand from foods and whatnot. Wiped it down along with my hands. It kept happening and happening, and I kept doing the same thing, clean both the grip and my hands. One day I decided to wipe the grip down with alcohol wipes, and let it sit there overnight. The next morning, making sure my hands were washed and dry, I picked up the camera and the grip was slippery! It felt like it had a thin layer of oil over it. Then to make sure I wasn't crazy, I cleaned it again and when I checked a couple hours later, sure enough, slippery. What is the deal Small Rig???

The Nikon Zf is a fantastic camera, but it's not the easiest to hold. A grip is a must-have, so I bought four of the most popular ones on amazon to see which is best. SmallRig Silicone Grip: (Good for: Getting the most secure hold on your camera and doesn't care for unique aesthetics) This is the grippiest one, hands down. The silicone is tackier than the camera body, so it feels super secure in your hand. It's built like a tank with zero flex. The Small Rig grips are the heaviest of the bunch so keep that in mind especially on an already somewhat heavy body. This grip feels the best to me in the hand! SmallRig Wood Grip: (Good for: Aesthetics, looks great) This grip looks amazing, but the one I got was a bit of a letdown. While the metal frame is solid, the wood handle actually flexes when you squeeze it. You can even see a small gap between the wood and the frame. It might just be bad quality control on the one I received, but it's a risk. For the price, it's not worth it. The wood also is relatively slick which might not bother some but I like the silicone version of the Small Rig grip better. NEEWER Grip (CA073) (Good for: Someone who wants a smaller grip with fun aesthetic accents) This one is the best match for the camera's look and feel (outside of the red stripe). The texture is almost identical to the Zf's body, so it blends right in. It’s solid, lightweight, and doesn't wiggle at all. The only downside is the grip is a bit small, so if you have big hands, it might not be enough for you. SZZCNOX Wood Grip: (Good for: A solid, affordable wood grip that gets the job done.) This is the budget option, and you can tell it’s made from cheaper, lighter wood. That said, it's surprisingly solid! Theres no flex when using the camera and its the lightest grip out of the bunch. It's a great value for the money. The only annoyance is you need a hex key to put it on and take it off which in my mind is a deal breaker, however, if thats not the case for you its a great option!

I love the Nikon Zf but like most everyone else I found holding the camera with larger lenses not too great. This grip solves that problem and looks like it belongs on the camera . It has a sticky and soft feel and allows access to the battery and. Memory card . It’s just slightly harder to change the sd card but not a big deal for me . The Arca Swiss style tripod mount is handy too . I would love to try some of the wood grips that are on the market to compare , but I feel like this one will end up being a keeper

Fits like a glove. This grip is just perfect for the Zf form factors, providing a solid and safe rest for 2-3 fingers and making the camera much safer and effective to hold and shoot. The material of the grip itself is perfect -- soft yet solid. Also, the ARCA-Swiss compatible base is also a great benefit for tripod work. Highly recommend.

Smallrig products do not disappoint. This is the perfect compliment in ergonomics for the Zf. Practically a must-have accessory.
