Nikon Z5II Thumb Grip for Z6 Z7 Cameras 📷

This metal thumb grip for Nikon Z5II and other Z-series bodies improves handhold and control for extended shooting sessions. It adds a modest projection without changing the camera balance, making one-handed framing more comfortable for photographers who shoot on the move.

Key Points

The thumb rest is designed expressly for the Nikon Z5II, Z5, Z6, Z7, Z6III, Z6II and Z7II series and attaches to the rear of the camera to give a more secure grip while keeping access to all buttons. It is CNC-machined from aluminium alloy and finished with anodic oxidation, which according to the manufacturer increases surface resistance and gives a neat matte black look. For users who prefer minimal added weight, the accessory is intentionally lightweight so it does not alter tripod mounting or gimbal balance. 📷

Comfort and ergonomics are central to the design, with a rounded profile that supports the thumb without obstructing dials or the rear joystick. Installation is straightforward and reversible, so it can be removed quickly if a strap or hand strap is preferred for certain shoots. 🔧

Benefits

A tactile rest for the thumb reduces finger strain during long sessions and can make rapid composition adjustments feel steadier. Because it does not cover any control surfaces, it preserves the camera’s functionality while improving handling. The machined build gives a more refined appearance compared with softer rubber pads, and the metal surface resists wear over time, according to the product description. For those who shoot handheld video or handheld telephoto stills, the extra leverage can translate into fewer blurred frames.

Usage Recommendations

Attach the thumb grip with the camera switched off and ensure the mounting area is clean and free of dust. Test hand position before a shoot to confirm that rear controls remain fully operable and that the grip does not interfere with your carrying method. Consider removing the thumb rest when using certain accessories that require unobstructed rear access or when mounting the camera in a rig that relies on exact plate alignment. 😊.
