Nikon Z6/7 Accessories Recommendations Please!

What do you think about this speedlight - SB-300? Sometimes I need a little fill-flash, but I do not want to haul around SB-800 for that.

i continue to use the SB400 speedlight. Mine actually got damaged through a leaking battery, but I found one of the local shops had a used one for sale. They’re out of production now, but you can find on eBay. Quite small, so not obtrusive, and a fast recycle time. I’ve always liked the SB400.

From earlier post, I got a new eyepiece too.
I’m left eye dominant, and find I’m always shading with my left hand if I’m in sunlight. The cup is a good fit and a little soft, so you can press against it if you need without fear.

This is when a little popup builtin flash is very handy. One of the key reasons I am sticking with my D7200. I have an SB-800 for when I need a full power, off camera flash.

Thinking about getting a gimbal for some video work. Any recommendations for that?

Nero,

Nikon School Online https://www.nikonevents.com/us/live/nikon-school-online/#nkn-livestream Kitty Peters with a Z50 and a host od video accesories is worth a watch. She recommends the Moza Aircross 2 as a Gimbal.

I've been hearing a lot about that one. Looks like a good one.

I wear glasses and went from right eye dominant to left eye dominant after my brain altering health issues and because of that I really am not a fan of the standard eye cup on any Nikon. I have been using this hood, the name of which I cannot remember, since my D7200, but a couple of weeks ago I saw this other hood and I decided to try it and I have to say I am pleased. I purchased it from Amazon for $14, and I figured that was cheap enough to try it out.

Turns out that I really like it. they have one for the Nikon Z's and for the DSLRs.

Been thinking about getting the Atomos Ninja V with the recent price drop.
