FDP Grip Strap (for PZ-1, PZ-1p, Z-1, PZ-1p)

Note that the Pentax FDP Grip Strap is not a battery pack. It is merely a hollow plastic device that looks like one. It does make the Z-1 a lot easier and nice to hand-hold, however.


i = Items listed inside parentheses are optional and must be purchased separately.
ii = The BG-10 features on the front: shutter release button with preview switch and remote sensor receiver and on the rear: AE lock button, main swicth, remote control switch and 2nd receiver.
