This Nikon Pistol Grip Model 2 (#G949) is a great addition to any camera bag. As designed, a camera mount is on top of the hand grip and a tripod mount (female screw) is in the base of the hand grip. Those features make it easy to use with any camera. Nikon's "universal" grip is designed for all cameras including Nikon's own, of course. The grip is matt black to help avoid reflections. And to look pretty cool in your camera case with the rest of your photo gear. The grip is made in Japan and designed to fit both camera on top and an accessory tripod or clamp connector below. All in all, it's a versatile option for any photographer using any type of camera - film, digital, video, DSLR or mirrorless. If you need to hold your camera, this is the grip. A shutter release cable is included. Camera can be purchased separately....
