I'm heading to Rome in ten days and I'm panicking because I havent kitted out my Nikon Zfc yet. I read that the SmallRig grip is a must because the body is so flat but then some people say it ruins the retro look and adds weight so I'm totally torn. My logic was to stay light but I dont want hand cramps after hours of street shooting. I also saw the battery life is kinda mid... do I buy spares or just a power bank? Budget is super tight after getting the 28mm lens so I need to pick just three essentials. What are the top three things I absolutely need for this trip?

Re: "^ This. Also, swapping batteries is way faster..." - totally. Definitely prioritize those. For your third item, I would suggest a SanDisk 64GB Extreme PRO SDXC UHS-I Card so you dont miss shots waiting on the camera. Also, be careful with the screen in crowds! Grab a Expert Shield Screen Protector for Nikon Zfc to prevent scratches. Rome is hectic, better safe than sorry tho!

Rome is gonna be amazing! Honestly, dont skip the SmallRig 3480 L-Shape Grip for Nikon Zfc. It makes a massive difference for street shooting comfort without killing the retro vibe. You definitely need extra juice, so grab a couple Nikon EN-EL25 1120mAh Li-ion Battery packs because swapping is way faster than tethering to a bank mid-shoot. Finally, get a SanDisk Extreme PRO 128GB SDXC UHS-I so you never hit a buffer wall. Have a blast!

^ This. Also, swapping batteries is way faster than charging! Rome is fantastic!
- Are you planning on shooting video?
- Will you be shooting handheld or using a tripod for night shots tho?
