What is the Nikon Power Battery Pack MB-N11?

The Nikon Power Battery Pack MB-N11 is an additional battery grip designed specifically for use with the Nikon Z6 II and Z7 II mirrorless cameras. It allows for extended battery life and improved handling and control of the camera.

How does the MB-N11 attach to the camera?

The MB-N11 attaches directly to the bottom of the camera, connecting to the camera's electrical contacts. It provides a secure and stable grip on the camera, enhancing overall handling and ergonomics.

What type of batteries does the MB-N11 use?

The MB-N11 can accommodate either two EN-EL15c batteries or one EN-EL15c and one EN-EL15b battery simultaneously. This allows for a significant increase in battery life for extended shooting sessions or when using power-intensive features.

Can the MB-N11 be used while charging?

No, the MB-N11 cannot be used while it is charging. The batteries must be removed, and an external charger must be used to charge them.

What controls does the MB-N11 add to the camera?

The MB-N11 adds both vertical and horizontal shutter buttons, an AF-ON button, and a control dial to the camera. These buttons mimic the controls on the camera body and provide a more comfortable shooting experience, especially when using the camera in vertical orientation.

Is the MB-N11 weather-sealed?

Yes, the MB-N11 is weather-sealed, just like the Z6 II and Z7 II cameras. This allows for the use of the battery pack in various weather conditions without worrying about damage to the camera or battery pack.

Does the MB-N11 add any extra weight to the camera?

Yes, the MB-N11 adds approximately 9.6 ounces (270 grams) to the weight of the camera. This additional weight can affect balance and handling, so it is essential to consider this when using the battery pack.

Can the MB-N11 be used with a tripod?

Yes, the MB-N11 has a 1/4"-20 threaded socket on the bottom, allowing it to be mounted on a tripod or other accessory. However, it is recommended to remove the battery pack when using a tripod for extended periods to prevent damage to the camera's electrical contacts.

Is the MB-N11 necessary for everyday use?

No, the MB-N11 is not necessary for everyday use of the Z6 II and Z7 II cameras. It is an optional accessory for photographers who require extended battery life or prefer a more substantial and secure grip on their camera.

Designed specifically for the Nikon Z 7II and Z 6II mirrorless cameras, the Nikon Power Battery Pack MB-N11 for Z6 II and Z7 II is a Multi-Power Battery Pack with vertical shutter button, main and sub command dials, AF-ON button, sub selector and Fn buttons.

When using two EN-EL 15c batteries, the MB-N11 provides 1.9x (CIPA standard) increase in battery performance over an EN-EL 15c battery in the camera alone. And the batteries are hot-swappable, meaning you won’t have to stop shooting or recording to swap batteries! Other features include battery power level check for each battery in the camera, a socket for connectivity to a tripod and the ability to use the optional EH-7P Charging AC Adapter to charge the EN-EL15c batteries while inserted into the unit, whether its attached to the camera or not.

For the portrait shooter who needs to shoot vertically, the landscape photographer recording lengthy time-lapse sequences and the sports photographer desiring a more balanced feel while using long lenses, the MB-N11 is the ideal accessory.

Key Features of the Nikon Power Battery Pack MB-N11 for Z6 II and Z7 II

• For Z 6 II and Z 7 II Cameras
• Accepts Two EN-EL15 Batteries
• Hot-Swappable Battery Slot
• Extended Grip for Vertical Composition

Dust & Drip Protection

The MB-N11 also features an improved grip and dust and drip protection like that of the rest of the Z series cameras. In addition to powering the camera, the MB-N11 features a USB-C connection which means you can power the batteries from a portable charger or AC power supply, even while connected to a computer. Or charge the batteries within the grip via USB when you’re not using the camera.

Hot-swap Battery System

The MB-N11 is powered by two EN-EL 15 series rechargeable Li-ion batteries and can accept EN-EL 15, EN-EL 15a, EN-EL 15b and EN-EL 15c batteries. While the most performance increase will be seen using two EN-EL 15c batteries, you can use any combination of the batteries to power the unit. You can even use the MB-N11 with only one battery inserted—in either chamber A or B.

When the battery in chamber A is exhausted, the camera will switch to the battery in chamber B. The hot-swap system allows for replacement of the battery closest to the door (battery A) with no interruption to shooting as long as the battery in chamber B has enough power to keep the camera on.
