Camera Accessories

Nikon has released an interesting remote grip for its Nikon Z mirrorless cameras: the Nikon MC-N10. This handle connects to your camera via USB-C. It features an industry-standard ARRI rosette and gives you remote access to plenty of control buttons/dials. So let’s take a closer look at it!

With the recent Nikon Z 9 firmware 3.0 update and new N-Log LUT, the company continues to show dedication to creating better filmmaking solutions for content creators.

Along with these updates, Nikon also launched a new accessory for remote camera operation: the Nikon MC-N10 remote grip.

Nikon MC-N10 remote grip features

The Nikon MC-N10 is a sweet add-on accessory for every Nikon Z9, Nikon Z6 II, and Nikon Z7 II shooter. This remote grip connects to your camera via USB-C. You should consider adding it to your kit if you’re often shooting with a gimbal or handheld rig.

On the side of the MC-N10, you’ll find an industry-standard rosette connector and two user-assignable function buttons. In addition, you’ll find a battery door at the bottom of the grip that takes two AA batteries.

At the front of the handle is an on/off switch, a trigger and rec button, one ISO button, one exposure compensation button, and a scroll wheel to adjust the shutter speed or aperture.

At the back, you’ll find a jog wheel, another scroll wheel to adjust your shutter speed and aperture, and no less than seven buttons to access the menu, playback, zoom in/out to check focus, activate the AF-ON, or change your display settings.

This Nikon MC-N10 remote grip reminds me a lot of the Canon EOS Cinema Camera or Sony FX6/9 grip. This is the kind of accessory I miss on the Canon EOS C70 or any mirrorless camera for that matter.

Of course, you can always find third-party LANC handles compatible with your camera. However, this kind of “generic” handle gives you access to a limited number of features, and you usually can’t access the camera’s menu.

Price and availability

The Nikon MC-N10 should start shipping next month for $429.95.
