The Nikon Remote Grip MC-N10 is a remote grip that enables control over Z mount mirrorless cameras, via a wired connection. Adoption of ARRI rosette specifications, which provide excellent compatibility with a wide variety of accessories, allows for attachment of the MC-N10 to various video-recording accessories using an optional rosette adapter. The angle at which it is fixed with mounting can be flexibly adjusted to suit the user's shooting position and stance.
Attaching the MC-N10 to a tripod’s pan bar or a gimbal allows for use of the camera even in situations where the user moves the camera while zooming in or out, and in situations where the user wants to adjust settings, including exposure, and control autofocus without touching the camera in an effort to avoid camera shake.
In addition to a compact and lightweight design that does not impair mobility, the shape of its grip and button layout are based on those of the Nikon Z series. This enables intuitive operation, even when switching between the camera body and the MC-N10. Click-less dials have been adopted for smooth operation and to reduce dial operation sounds accidentally being recorded while filming.
As the MC-N10 connects to the camera via a USB cable (Type C connector), radio-wave interference and crosstalk are not a problem. When powered by AA batteries, the MC-N10 supports extended recording for up to 12 hours. It also supports the same superior dust- and drip-resistant performance as the Nikon Z 9 (released in December 2021), as well as a cold tolerance down to −10°C, allowing for its use in harsh environments and conditions.
