Thank you 
for choosing Vello

The Vello BG-N21 battery grip offers extended shooting 
time and comfort when shooting in a vertical (portrait) 
orientation. The grip is compatible with the Nikon Z 7 
and Z 6 mirrorless cameras, and it accepts up to two 
Nikon EN-EL15a/EN-EL15b rechargeable batteries. You 
can charge the batteries inside the grip, without removing 
them, via the included USB-C™ power adapter. The 
BG-N21 offers an alternate shutter release button that 
triggers the camera via the included cable, making the grip 
ideal for shooting portrait photography. And the control-
lock switch disables the shutter release button to prevent 
unwanted exposures.

Please read through this entire manual 
before using the BG-N21 battery grip.
