Battery Grip for K3 111 Monochrome?

asahi67 · 04-25-2023, 02:24 PM

Just wondering if there will be a dedicated battery grip for the K3 111 Mono version or will the D-BG8 grip on my K3 111 fit and function?

Since it's based on the same model it should work with the dbg8.

Just make sure to use monochrome batteries in the D-BG8!

I think the monochrome SD cards will be the harder thing to find. I haven't seen them in stock anywhere.

Delkin Black look like the obvious choice, to me anyways...

OOOH, thanks. I was considering the Hoodman Steel Series, but they recently went to color on their UHS-II cards. I'd have to use the slower UHS-1 to get mono.

The D-BG8 grip will work just fine, but it won't fit the (lack of) colour scheme of the body. I doubt they'd make a greyed out version, though.
