Newell MB-N14 Battery Pack for Nikon Z6 III & Z5 II
The Newell MB-N14 Battery Pack is a multifunctional power grip designed for the Nikon Z6 III and Nikon Z5 II. It allows you to install two EN-EL15C batteries (also compatible with EN-EL15B and EN-EL15A), significantly extending your camera’s operating time for long shooting sessions.
With sequential battery consumption, the grip uses the battery in compartment A first and then automatically switches to compartment B. This clever design allows you to replace one battery while the camera remains powered on, so you can keep shooting without interruption.
The grip also features a built-in USB-C charging port, enabling you to charge both batteries directly in the grip without removing them. LED indicators display the charging progress, making it easy to prepare your equipment for the next shoot.
Improved Control and Ergonomics
The Newell MB-N14 not only extends battery life but also enhances handling, particularly when shooting in portrait orientation. The grip includes additional controls that mirror those on the camera body, ensuring intuitive and comfortable operation whether shooting vertically or horizontally.
-
Two-stage shutter button – half-press to focus, full press to release the shutter
-
AF-ON button – quick activation of autofocus
-
Joystick – convenient navigation through camera menus
-
Two control dials – fast exposure adjustments
-
Fn function button – assign a shortcut to a selected camera function
-
Lock switch – prevents accidental button presses
The ergonomic design improves stability and balance, particularly when using larger or heavier lenses, giving you a more secure grip during extended shoots.
USB-C Charging for Greater Convenience
The integrated USB-C port allows you to charge both batteries directly in the grip without removing them. This is ideal when preparing equipment overnight or when travelling with minimal gear. Charging two batteries takes approximately five hours, and LED indicators clearly show the charging status.
Stable Mounting and Smart Design
The MB-N14 attaches securely to your camera using a locking screw and operates seamlessly with the camera – no separate power switch is required. A standard 1/4" tripod thread allows you to mount the camera and grip combination on a tripod or head.
A dedicated holder inside the grip stores the camera’s battery compartment flap while the grip is installed, ensuring it is kept safe and won’t be misplaced.
Reliable Performance
Weighing approximately 275 g (without batteries), the Newell MB-N14 provides excellent balance and durability while remaining compact. It is designed to operate reliably within a temperature range of 0°C to 40°C, making it suitable for both studio and outdoor photography.
