Best Nikon D750 Accessories You Must Have

The Nikon D750 seems to offer the same sensor as the D610. In fact, its a redesigned sensor with better image quality and a higher ISO range. The Nikon D750 also offers better video features, in-built Wi-Fi and a tilting screen. It's not cheap, but you get your money's worth.

Once you have a compact system camera or DSLR there are lots of accessories available to make your photographic life easier or help you take better shots. Take advantage of the seasonal sales and bag yourself a few essentials from our list.

1. Nikon 24-120mm f/4 VR

Category: Travel zoom/portrait
Weight: 23.6 oz.
What we like: Useful focal length range from wide-angle to medium telephoto.
What we don't: Distortion and low light performance.

Nikon’s kit lenses keep improving, and the 24-120mm is case in point. For about $500 more than the cost of the camera body alone, you get a versatile zoom lens with coverage from wide angle to medium telephoto. This lens is noticeably sharper than comparable zooms, has fast and accurate autofocus, and a respectable f/4 maximum aperture. All in all, the 24-120mm makes a great travel and walk-around lens for the Nikon D750.

One of the biggest downsides of this lens—and many zooms—is distortion. You’ll notice it most when shooting at the wide and telephoto ends, but distortion is present pretty much throughout its focal length range. And in terms of low light performance, f/4 is decent but not on par with faster primes and pro zooms like the 28-70mm f/2.8 below. If you’re in the process of buying the D750 body, we love the value of the 24-120mm kit. If you already own the camera, there are other attractive options below.

3- Gitzo GT2532 Mountaineer Series 2 Carbon Fiber Tripod and GH1382QD Series 1 Center Ball Head

From another premium line of supports, the Gitzo GT2532 Series 2 Carbon Fiber Tripod features 8-layer Carbon eXact legs with a signature Gitzo veneer. The carbon portion of the center tube can be removed, leaving the shooter with a shortened center tube for very low-angle shooting from a minimum height of 6.3".

Fully extended, the legs and ball head will reach 69.8" and support 31 lb. The GT2532’s chassis is made of magnesium and is powder-coated—again with that signature Gitzo look. Leg-angle adjustment tabs are spring-loaded and Gitzo placed O-rings on the tops of the G-Lock Ultra leg twist locks for extra sealing from the elements.

The GH1382QD Series 1 Ball Head is a beautiful unit with a unique curving design, Gitzo powder coating, and brushed accents. The metallic ball is coated with a tungsten disulfide. I’m not sure what that is, but it sounds pretty cool and it gives the ball gorgeously smooth movement. A co-axial friction knob allows the main ball control to be adjusted, and there is a separate panning lock. The plate is Arca-type compatible, as well.

For those not wanting a center column, the alternative is the GT2532S Systematic tripod forgoes that option or allows you to add a specialized center column or chassis accessory to the rig.

4- Sandisk Memory Card

SanDisk is number one when it comes to memory cards brands, and this one is fast enough so you can take pictures in burst mode without waiting for the card to write the files. This is really important when you can’t afford to miss a shot due to the fact your card is slow at writing shots/videos (weddings and fireworks for example). An extra memory card is the cheapest accessory you can buy, but is often the most important especially if you lots of long shootings.

6- Battery Grip

MB-D16 Battery Grip – If you already have two batteries, it’s a good idea to get a battery grip. It introduces an addition shutter button for vertical photography (much more stability) and your whole setup will be much more stable. This is assuming you already don’t find the Nikon D750 too heavy, or it will have a negative effect on the weight.
