BG-N22

BAT TERY GRIP

Designed for the

Nikon Z 6II and Z 7II

Mirrorless Cameras

Thank you

for choosing Vello

The Vello BG-N22 battery grip offers extended shooting

time and comfort when shooting in a vertical (portrait)

orientation. The grip is compatible with the Nikon Z 6II

and Z 7II mirrorless cameras, and it accepts up to two

Nikon EN-EL15c/EN-EL15b rechargeable batteries.

You can charge the batteries inside the grip without

removing them, and hot swap a battery while shooting

video. The BG-N22 offers an alternate shutter release,

multi-selector, and additional buttons, making the grip

ideal for shooting in portrait mode. The convenient

control lock switch disables all the controls, preventing

unwanted exposures.

Please read through this entire manual

before using the BG-N22 battery grip.
