Overview

The Phottix PH33363 BG-D600 is a Premium Series battery grip engineered specifically for the Nikon D600 digital SLR. Its primary purpose is twofold: extending shooting time by accommodating additional battery capacity, and providing a full set of duplicate controls for comfortable vertical (portrait) orientation photography. The grip accepts one or two Nikon EN-EL15 rechargeable batteries, effectively doubling the shot count per charge when fully loaded, or six AA batteries via an included tray for emergency power in the field when rechargeables aren't available.

For vertical shooting, the grip mirrors essential camera controls including a shutter release button, dual control dials, a multi-function controller, and an AE-L/AF-L button, allowing photographers to maintain full creative control without awkward wrist angles. The textured grip surface ensures a secure hold, reducing hand fatigue during extended event, wedding, or studio sessions. As a third-party accessory, the Phottix grip comes in at a lower price point than the official Nikon MB-D14 while delivering the core functionality that working photographers need. It also adds welcome heft and balance to the D600 body, particularly when paired with longer or heavier lenses.
