Nikon Z9 Accessories must haves 2023. 

wow your suggestions are super practical. Thank you!

Appreciate the video. Just picked up the z9 and will pick up the L bracket. Cheers!

Your videos are always so helpful! Thanks for all your efforts!

Really excellent; very informative. Thank you very much.

Liked your presentation very much, thank you! You got into great details presenting every problem which a photographer can get in while being in the field, even if they don't own a z9. Keep up the great work and the Z6 is indeed a very underrated camera because of its unique CFExpress slot, I bought mine very cheap too!

Very interesting topics, thank you. Your enthusiasm on photography and your equipment, very much mirrors mine. Great channel, well presented. Have you ever tried adaptors for other makers lenses?

34:45 704AUD is $470 in US. Afaik there are no such prices as of now (July 2023). Quick investigation: at Adorama most 2Tb card on back order, prices from $500. At B&H prices also from $500, some in stock.

There have been many vids and related comments discussing the fact that the small rig L-Bracket has a concerning amount of wiggle play when using on tripod in the vertical portrait position. In fact I see such a comment below. And does that replacement eye cup stay attached when using and rotating, because I’ve lost a few over the years with other Nikon camera’s in which I have replaced equally pathetic OEM eyepieces?

Which 1.4 Sigma primes do you have? I have the Sigma 1.4 f mount and 1.8 Z S, the Nikon 1.8 is super super sharp and since I do a lot of video, the 50 has almost no focus breathing.

I hope that you will never need to use the Smallrig L Plate in portrait mode on tripod on a windy day, as I lost a whole night of Star-trail photography (654 frames x 30sec) in a rarely clear weather without Moon Cape Schanck... And it wasn't a great windy day as I was the only one to loose the shots after few test shots to check focus and speed before starting... As far as I can see Smallrig haven't changed the design to make a second point of touch at the top or bring the side closer to the body... Just push with a finger the top of the L to see the movement which transform in vibration with a wind...

I was amazed at how much smaller the Z 24-70/2.8 is compared to the F mount version ... and you call it "chunky"? I find it quite small and light mounted on my Z9. My F mount D850+grip+24-70/2.8 is twice the size of the Z9 equivalent. The size and weight savings are huge. It is certainly better for me than carrying a bunch of primes around and then have to swap lenses. Carrying around several primes rather than one pro zoom would be more clunky in my bag. You can always set f/2.8 lenses to f/4 but you can't set f/4 lenses to f/2.8. If you don't need f/2.8 then of course don't buy the better lens. If you don't buy a lot of the unnecessary accessories (that I have never needed) you can invest more money in your lenses, or buy more lenses.

I wouldn’t go with 2tb plus cards if your card becomes corrupted you lose everything 500 gb is plenty for use and safety
