Related Questions and Answers

Q: 1. Can I use an external power supply (AC Adapter) with the MB-D18, or do I have to remove it and insert the power supply into the D850 camera body?

A: The grip has to be removed to allow a dummy battery to be inserted into the camera, then attach the ac adapter to the dummy battery.

Q: 2. When do we expect the charger kit to be in? I have 18 b battery but no way to charge it. Waiting two months.

A: Yes, I also waited two months or so and then sent the battery back, as well as canceled my back order for the charger. That was several months ago.

Q: 3. Is there a secure way to attach a tripod to the grip, or should I use an L-bracket - And if so, what is recommended?

A: For the best fit with the MB-D18 attached to the D850, the Sunwayfoto Dedicated L-Bracket for Nikon D850 and Battery Grip, BH# SUPNLD850G would be ideal. https://bhpho.to/2OAX9O9

Q: 4. Is it true that the build material is mostly made out of plastic and not like previous Nikon battery grips that are made of Magnesium Alloy?

A: That is a bit of a leading question, and skips the real issue -- will it hold up? I use the MB-18 in all sorts of challenging environments all the time -- climbing on rocks, in wet areas, salt water, sand, and more. It is well-built, sturdy, and fits the D850 much better than the previous battery pack for the D810. It is lighter than that grip as well. I think it is a big improvement on the older battery pack, and recommend it without hesitation.

Q: 5. You say this is USA version, but the warranty says Nikon Europe Service Warranty. Is it covered in the US? I need a USA warranty.

A: Yes this model comes with a USA Limited 1-Year Warranty.

Q: 6. How many shots can we get with 2550mAh 6xAA Rechargeable Ni-MH Batterys on the gripper?

A: I see on line that 450 is the estimated number of shots. I use the Nikon EN-EL15 Lithium-Ion Battery in the grip and have only once needed the in-camera battery, have depleted the grip battery. On that shoot I exceeded 1500 shots and didn't use a Flash or LiveView. Hope that helps.

Q: 7. Kit need to make d850 shoot 9seconds

Q: 9. Can I use en-el15c battery?

A: Yes. All three versions of the EN-EL15 (original, B, and C) will work with the MB-D18 battery grip.

Q: 10. Does this used model have the bl-5(for en-el18), the AA and the en-el15 holder with it?

A: Those items are for the Nikon D850 and this MB-D12 doesn't work with the D850. You would need this Nikon MB-D18 Multi-Power Battery Pack with Battery Kit for that. https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1515713-REG/nikon_mb_d18_multi_power_battery_pack.html
