Adding depth to the camera without also adding a second shutter release and command dials seems pointless to me. Another feature of the Z6/7 I could easily do without is USB charging, and with a bigger battery it wouldn't work anyway, I know there will be those who think this essential but the real problem is battery capacity. If the battery is big enough the need to charge and use simultaneously goes away.

I have one of the units as a cheap solution to the problem. https://www.amazon.co.uk/Ex-Pro®-16000mAh-Rechargeable-Battery-replacing/dp/B01BKS8MX2/ref=sr_1_12?keywords=Ex-Pro+Nikon&qid=1576689498&s=electronics&sr=1-12 It is not as good as a battery grip but gives more duration and is adaptable so I can change the battery insert part and use it for my Fuji cameras as well. Downside is the wire.
