]]> Last week my Nikon Z6II froze twice in one shot during a video shoot. Switching it off and on again didn’t help either, the camera stayed on. I noticed that only the audio level display was still updating sporadically. Only by removing the battery was I able to reset the camera.
When I switched it back on, I noticed that the current recording was not written from the buffer memory to the SD card, which led me to the conclusion that there must be a memory problem.

I had never had such a problem before, but this was the first time I had filmed with higher video quality and 60p.

As a test, I tried another SD card from the same range of the same manufacturer to rule out a defect, but the problem occurred there too.

I ordered the ProGrade Digital 256 GB CFexpress Type B memory card *. This card supports write speeds of up to 1500MB/s and the problem no longer occurred at 60p.

Image and FTP transfer is also now available. Finally no need to use third party software like "controlmycamera" or others. Thank you Nikon!

]]> With the January update of Nikon’s “NX Field” app, the Z6, Z6II, Z7, Z7II cameras can now be natively controlled remotely with NX Field. Image and FTP transfer is also now available. Finally no need to use third party software like “controlmycamera” or others. Thank you Nikon!

NX Field is a remote photography application developed by Nikon Corporation.
We can now remotely configure and operate up to 9 cameras connected to a network and press the shutter buttons.
In addition, we can download image data directly to iPhone or iPad and upload images to an FTP server directly after shooting while the app is running.

Supported digital cameras (as of January 2022)
D6, D5, Z 7II, Z 6II, Z 7, Z 6

To use these features, the camera firmware must be updated to a version that supports NX Field.
The update is performed by a Nikon authorized service representative. For more information, visit the following website.
https://nps.nikonimaging.com/nx_field/
The update is not available in some countries; contact your service provider for more information.

Most important functions according to Nikon:

  • Control remote cameras (up to a recommended maximum of nine) from your iPhone or iPad.
  • Display the view through the camera lens on your iPhone or iPad while shooting.
  • With the iPad version, you can capture images from a distance while viewing the views through the lenses of up to nine remote cameras.
  • Adjust exposure, focus, white balance, image quality, and other settings remotely.
  • Remotely format memory cards and edit FTP profiles on remote cameras.
  • Trigger the shutter buttons on all connected remote cameras simultaneously. You can also trigger the triggers of selected cameras one after the other.
  • Upload images directly from the remote camera to an FTP server.
  • Copy saved settings for all remote cameras to other iPhones or iPads.
  • The iPad version can display remote camera locations using handwritten drawings.
  • Wired Ethernet connections provide higher reliability and faster image transmission than wireless connections.

Compatibility with Nikon Z series cameras

Short and sweet: Yes the „Ellie“ (Amazon Affiliate Link) also fits Nikon Z6, Z7, Z6II and Z7II. Probably it even fits Z5 and Z50. Both the battery flaps and the flaps for the ports on the left side of the camera (MIC, headphones, HDMI, remote shutter, etc.) remain accessible. The rubber flaps can still be opened, closed and tilted to the side when open. No problems at all.

Z6II with Ellie PD and Nikkor 24-70mm 2.8. All bays and ports are clear - everything fits perfectly.

Compatibility with FTZ adapter

The Ellie PD (Amazon Affiliate Link) is not only compatible with the FTZ adapter, it enables the use of an adapter plate on the camera with simultaneous FTZ adapter use.

For example, I myself use a Peak Design Capture Clip System ARCA adapter plate attached to the camera (Amazon affiliate link). When this adapter is screwed to the camera and I put on the FTZ adapter, the FTZ adapter blocks the adapter plate: I can no longer slide the adapter plate into tripod head or support system.

Sure, I could screw the adapter plate directly onto the FTZ adapter, but if I then switch to a Z lens, I would also have to alter the adapter plate again. That is too inflexible for me. I was looking for a way to still have a working adapter plate on the camera itself, despite possibly having the FTZ adapter on. Ellie and Ellie PD brought the solution.

The PD version of the Ellie has the ARCA plate of the Peak Design Capture System (Amazon Affiliate Link) already integrated. On the normal Ellie (without PD) you can screw on any adapter plate. The result is the same.

The Ellie PD increases the distance from the table to the bottom of the FTZ adapter. The FTZ adapter no longer blocks the adapter plate.
The Ellie PD increases the distance from the table to the bottom of the FTZ adapter. The FTZ adapter no longer blocks the adapter plate.

In both cases, the oversize of the pure Ellie angle without adapter plate already provides additional distance between the underside of the FTZ adapter and the underside of a mounted adapter plate. As a result, the FTZ adapter no longer blocks insertion into the support system or tripod head.

Finally, I can slide the Z6II back into the carrying system - whether with FTZ adapter or without.
