A true vertical grip, with a portrait release

CELLONIC Vertical grip for Nikon D40 to D5000, portrait release

Thirty-eight euros for a true vertical grip for five Nikon bodies, with a portrait shutter release and a spare cell — and no mention of dials, threads or weight.

CELLONIC vertical battery grip fitted beneath a Nikon reflex body

CELLONIC Vertical grip for Nikon D40 to D5000, portrait release

Thirty-eight euros for a true vertical grip for five Nikon bodies, with a portrait shutter release and a spare cell — and no mention of dials, threads or weight.

Bodies named
FIVE, in the first bullet: the Nikon D5000, D3000, D60, D40 and D40x, for EN-EL9 and EN-EL9E cells — and the part-number field names the Nikon MB-D60, the original grip this copies. Naming the original is the clearest compatibility statement available
Cells carried and reporting
A SPARE BATTERY is included, in the fifth bullet, for longer sessions and continuous use. How many cells the grip holds, and whether the camera reads them individually, is not stated — which on a grip is the specification a photographer checks first
Duplicated controls
A SHUTTER RELEASE FOR PORTRAIT-FORMAT SHOOTING, in the third bullet — and that is what makes this a grip rather than a battery holder. What it does NOT claim is what the 58 € ayex here does: command dials, an AF-ON button, an exposure lock. One duplicated control, named
Sealing claims
None
Tripod thread position
NOT DESCRIBED. A vertical grip bolts into the camera’s own tripod socket and must provide a replacement underneath, or the camera cannot go on a tripod at all. The page never mentions it, on a product whose whole installation depends on that thread
Published weight

  • A genuine portrait-format shutter release, and the MB-D60 named as its pattern
  • Five Nikon bodies listed individually, with both EN-EL9 cell types
  • No tripod thread described, on a grip that occupies the camera’s own

Best for: A Nikon D40 through D5000 shot in portrait format for hours — weddings, portraits — where the wrist should stay straight.

On the listing

Five bullets. Fit and compatibility with the Nikon D5000, D3000, D60, D40 and D40x for a secure, stable seat; comfortable photography, a textured additional grip for better hold and control, ideal for vertical and creative angles; shooting control, with a shutter release for portrait-format photographs giving flexible, responsive handling; better balance, improving weight distribution with heavier lenses and reducing camera shake for sharper shots and smoother video; and extended shooting time, containing a spare battery for longer sessions and continuous use.

A release on the corner, which is the whole idea

Shooting vertically without one means reaching over the top of the camera. The elbow goes up, the hold loosens, and an hour of that is an hour of unsteady frames.

Five bodies, and the grip it copies

The D40 to D5000, and the Nikon MB-D60 named in the part number. A copy of a known original is the clearest fit there is.

Better balance under a long lens

The fourth bullet makes the argument that matters on a small body: mass low and behind the lens steadies what a light camera cannot.

What it does not duplicate

No command dial, no AF-ON, no exposure lock. One control, and the page is honest by omission.

The thread it never mentions

A grip occupies the camera’s tripod socket. Every real one replaces it underneath; this page does not say so.

Availability

Between 38 € and 47 € on the German, French, Italian and Spanish Amazon stores when this page was last checked.

The British Amazon store carry it too, priced in local currency. Those amounts are deliberately absent from the range above, which reads euro stores only.

Nothing came back from the American Amazon store at all, so the button for that country runs a search instead of opening an entry that is not there.

Everything in this section is the figure Keepa carried on the day of the last update to this page. Availability and prices shift without notice.

More battery grips

  • Insta360 battery grip with its integrated tripod legs unfolded

    Insta360 For Luna series, 1000 mAh, integrated tripod

    Ninety euros for a 1000 mAh grip whose handle unfolds into a tripod — the only integrated tripod here, from a page of three bullets.

    Bodies named
    The Insta360 Luna SERIES, in the title, with no individual model named. A range rather than a camera, which for an accessory sold by the camera’s own maker is a safe claim and a vague one
    Cells carried and reporting
    1000 mAh built in, in the first bullet — the SMALLEST capacity on this shelf, a fifth of the 5000 mAh K&F handle — with the useful addition that it charges cameras AND mobile devices. A grip that also fills a phone is a grip that earns its place in a pocket
    Duplicated controls
    NONE
    Sealing claims
    None
    Tripod thread position
    BOTH, and this is what the page has that nothing else here does: an INTEGRATED TRIPOD in the handle, described in the second bullet as quickly ready for stable, efficient shooting, PLUS a standard quarter-inch thread on the underside of the grip for external accessories. A handle that stands up on its own is a handle that becomes a table-top stand without a second purchase
    Published weight
    NONE, in a page of three bullets
    Amazon reference
    B0GYWBCPZH (same reference on 6 Amazon marketplaces)
    EAN
    0842126120497
    • A tripod folded into the handle — the only one on this shelf
    • A quarter-inch thread underneath as well, for anything else
    • One thousand milliamp-hours, the smallest capacity here

    Best for: An Insta360 Luna used for talking-to-camera pieces, where the handle has to stand on a table and top up a phone.

  • DJI Osmo Action dual-direction battery grip with its charging port cover

    DJI 4900 mAh, 207 g, −20 to 45 °C, Osmo Action 6

    Eighty-four euros for a grip that publishes its dimensions, its 207 g, its voltages and two temperature ranges — and gives two different capacities.

    Bodies named
    ONE: the Osmo Action 6, in the second bullet. A single named camera, which for an action camera accessory is the honest form — the mounting and the port position change between generations
    Cells carried and reporting
    TWO DIFFERENT FIGURES ON ONE PAGE: the first bullet says a built-in 4900 mAh battery, and the third gives a storage capacity of 5000 mAh. A hundred milliamp-hours apart, neither reconciled. What IS consistent is the electrical detail — 3.6 V nominal, USB input at 3.6 V, USB output at 5 V and 1.5 A — which is more than any other grip here publishes
    Duplicated controls
    NONE — a power grip, like three others on this shelf
    Sealing claims
    PARTIAL, AND CONDITIONAL — and the fourth bullet is unusually careful: after removing the camera’s USB-C port cover, the charging-port cover must be installed TO MAINTAIN splash resistance. In other words, fitting the grip breaks the camera’s seal unless a supplied part is put back. That is a real instruction, and the only sealing statement on this shelf
    Tripod thread position
    Not mentioned, which on a 181 mm handle is a genuine omission
    Published weight
    207 g, in the third bullet, alongside DIMENSIONS of 37.8 by 44.2 by 181 mm. It is the only grip on this shelf to publish both — and 181 mm of length is what makes it a handle rather than a pack
    Amazon reference
    B0FM3WMZ6Z (same reference on 6 Amazon marketplaces)
    EAN
    0190021153141
    • Dimensions, weight, three voltages and two temperature ranges all published
    • A splash-proof charging cover supplied, with the instruction to fit it
    • Four thousand nine hundred mAh in one bullet, 5000 in another

    Best for: An Osmo Action 6 filming in the cold, where an operating range down to −20 °C and a published weight decide the rig.

  • K&F Concept battery grip handle attached to a DJI Osmo Pocket

    K&F CONCEPT 5000 mAh power handle, 110 g, quarter-inch thread

    Twenty-five euros for a 110 g handle carrying 5000 mAh for an Osmo Pocket, with a quarter-inch thread and a USB port that takes a microphone.

    Bodies named
    Three, in the second bullet: the DJI Osmo Pocket 3, 4 and 4P — the 4 Pro. The claim worth noting is the second half: a stable fit with no wobble and, in its own words, no pop-up windows — which is the firmware warning a non-standard accessory produces. This catalogue sells the Osmo Pocket 4 on its gimbal shelf
    Cells carried and reporting
    5000 mAh built in, in the first bullet, with a FOUR-STAGE LED gauge in the fourth. The gauge has a considered detail: it does not light while a device is connected and shooting, so it cannot appear in the frame or distract in the dark
    Duplicated controls
    NONE, and this is the distinction the shelf above has to make. A vertical grip for a reflex duplicates the shutter release and the command dials for portrait-format work; a power handle carries a battery and nothing else. Two of the six grips here duplicate controls; four, including this one, do not
    Sealing claims
    None
    Tripod thread position
    A quarter-inch thread, in the third bullet, named for tripods, extension poles, selfie sticks, PeaPods and clamps. On a pocket gimbal that is the whole point of a handle: it turns a hand-held camera into something mountable
    Published weight
    110 g, in the fifth bullet, described as light and compact and said to match the Pocket 3 and 4 visually. It is one of three weights published on this shelf
    Amazon reference
    B0GYDMPQPZ (same reference on 6 Amazon marketplaces)
    EAN
    6942610304519
    • Five thousand milliamp-hours in 110 g, with a quarter-inch thread
    • A USB port that takes an external microphone as well as data
    • It duplicates no controls, so it is a battery rather than a grip

    Best for: An Osmo Pocket 3 or 4 filming long takes, where the run time and a tripod thread matter more than any duplicated control.

Elsewhere in the camera bag

  • TARION TR-L camera backpack with its side access open and rain cover beside it

    TARION TR-L, 2 bodies and 5 lenses, 14-inch laptop, rain cover

    Forty-nine euros for the only real rucksack here: two bodies, five lenses, a 14-inch laptop, side and rear access, and a rain cover in the box.

    Internal dimensions
    NOT PUBLISHED — the one omission on an otherwise thorough page. Capacity is given as equipment instead, in the first bullet: two cameras and five lenses, in what it calls an efficient interior design that keeps the bag compact
    Volume
    Not published
    Access design
    THE FULLEST ON THIS SHELF, in the second and third bullets: TWELVE compartments and pockets; SIDE ACCESS reaching the camera WITHOUT taking the bag off; and a THEFT-RESISTANT REAR opening into the main compartment — which is the arrangement that puts the zips against your own back when the bag is worn
    Divider system
    Described as an efficient interior design and never itemised. For two bodies and five lenses the dividers are the whole architecture, and the page leaves them to the photographs
    Laptop sleeve size
    14 INCHES, expandable, on the back — in the second bullet, and the ONLY laptop provision on this shelf. A rucksack that takes a laptop is a rucksack that replaces a second bag
    Tripod carry
    Not explicitly named, which on a rucksack of this capacity is surprising. The 41 € K&F here publishes underside straps for a light tripod
    Weather protection
    Two layers of answer, in the fifth bullet: water-repellent 1200D NYLON with very high tear and abrasion resistance, AND A WATERPROOF RAIN COVER INCLUDED. The cover is what separates water-repellent from waterproof, and it is in the box
    Empty weight

    EAN
    5060989790076
    • Two bodies and five lenses, with a 14-inch laptop sleeve — alone on this shelf
    • Side access without removing the bag, plus a theft-resistant rear opening
    • No internal dimensions and no volume published

    Best for: A full kit and a laptop carried on foot and through an airport, where the camera has to come out without the bag coming off.

  • Lowepro GearUp Creator Box Large II open showing its dividers and lenses

    Lowepro GearUp Creator Box Large II, QuickDoor, 82 % recycled

    A padded case that goes inside a rucksack and opens without coming out — one body, three lenses, and 82 per cent recycled materials.

    Internal dimensions
    NOT PUBLISHED, and it is the specification this product most needs: a case designed to sit inside another bag has to be measured against that bag’s interior. What the first bullet gives instead is a capacity in equipment — a full-frame mirrorless body with a standard zoom attached, plus two more lenses
    Volume
    Not published
    Access design
    THE QUICKDOOR SYSTEM, in the fourth bullet, and it is what this product is for: the case opens and the equipment comes out WHILE the case is still inside another bag. No unpacking to reach a lens — which is the whole friction of carrying a camera in a rucksack
    Divider system
    FLEXIBLE COMPARTMENTS, in the first bullet, arranged for a full-frame mirrorless body with a standard zoom fitted and two additional lenses, with two further pockets for small items. It is the only itemised divider arrangement on this shelf
    Laptop sleeve size
    NONE — and correctly so. The laptop travels in the outer bag; this case holds only the camera
    Tripod carry
    None
    Weather protection
    NOT CLAIMED anywhere. A case that lives inside a rucksack is sheltered by the rucksack, so the omission is defensible — but it means this case alone offers no protection from rain
    Empty weight
    Not published. On a case whose purpose is to go inside something else, the weight it adds is exactly what a buyer would want to know
    Amazon reference
    B0BLZG4SN6 (same reference on 6 Amazon marketplaces)
    EAN

    • QuickDoor access without taking the case out of the bag it lives in
    • Dividers itemised for a body with a zoom fitted plus two lenses
    • No internal dimensions published, on a case that must fit inside another bag

    Best for: A rucksack or holdall that already exists, turned into a camera bag without buying a camera bag.

  • Canon LP-E17 battery pack in black, upright

    Canon LP-E17 — three bullets, no capacity, no voltage

    Forty-one euros for Canon’s own LP-E17, from a page that publishes no capacity, no voltage and no camera — the same three words it prints on its hoods and caps.

    Bodies named
    NONE. Not one camera is named, on a battery whose whole identity is which bodies take it. The LP-E17 belongs to the EOS 750D, 760D, 800D, 77D, 200D, 250D, RP and R8 among others — and a buyer has to know that before arriving
    Capacity in mAh and watt-hours
    NEITHER IS PUBLISHED. Four third-party cells on this shelf publish 2000, 1500, 1500 and 1100 mAh, and two add watt-hours. The original publishes nothing, which makes it the only battery here that cannot be compared with any other on capacity
    Voltage
    NOT PUBLISHED
    Chip communication described
    Not described — and this is the irony of the page. An original Canon cell is precisely the one that reports its charge as a percentage, its remaining life and its serial number to the body, which is the main reason to pay 41 € rather than 12. The listing never mentions it
    Charger contents
    None, and not mentioned
    Stated protection
    None. The three bullets are: durable; flexible design; quality and durability. They are the identical three bullets Canon publishes for its ES-68 lens hood and its E-58II lens cap in this catalogue — a template applied to three unrelated products
