More Power. The Nikon MB-D17 lets you use an additional EN-EL15 battery to double the D500’s battery life. One battery is in the camera, while the other is in this grip.

Added Stability. This grip offers a more stable and secure hold on the camera, making it easier to hand-hold at lower shutter speeds.

Improved Ergonomics. The MB-D17 also serves as a vertical grip, making it popular with portrait and event photographers. It adds an additional shutter-release button, an AE/AF lock button, a multi-selector, and main- and sub-command dials.

Need Additional Batteries? This rental includes one battery in addition to the battery that comes with the D500 camera you’re renting. If you need an extra EN-EL15c battery or two, you can find them here.
