BG-N11
BATTERY GRIP
Designed for the Nikon
D700 SLR Camera
USER’S MANUAL
Introduction
Thank you for choosing Vello and congratulations
on your new BG-N battery grip purchase. Enjoy
the many benefits that a battery grip offers, such as
extended shooting time and more control and comfort
when shooting in a vertical (portrait) orientation.
The Vello BG-N is compatible with the Nikon
D700 DSLR camera. The BG-N accepts one Nikon
EN-EL5 rechargeable battery, in addition to the
camera’s internal battery. Six AA batteries (alkaline,
Ni-MH, lithium, or nickel-manganese) can be used
instead for added convenience. The BG-N is
equipped with an alternate shutter-release button,
AE-L/AF-L button, multi selector, and main and sub-
command dials for shooting in a vertical position.
Please read through this entire manual before
using the BG-N11 battery grip.

Precautions
1. The BG-N should only be used with compatible
devices specified in this manual.
2. Use only with batteries and battery holders
recommended in this manual. The
BG-N
can not
be used with other batteries or battery holders.
3. When the BG-N is not attached to the camera,
cover the power terminal with the contact cap.
This prevents electrical shorts caused by metal
coming into contact with the power terminals.
4. When the battery holder is removed from the
grip, remove the batteries or place the holder in
a container to prevent electrical shorts caused by
contact with other metal objects.
5. The memory card access lamp may light up
temporarily when the BG-N is mounted or
removed from the camera. This is part of the
normal operation.
6. If you notice smoke, noise, or an unusual smell from
the battery pack, discontinue use immediately.
Remove the batteries and take the device to a
Vello authorized reseller.
7. The BG-N does not have a power switch.
Instead, use the camera power switch to turn the
power on or off.
8. The battery level may not display properly if
batteries are inserted before mounting the grip.
9. Remove batteries from the grip when not in use.
10. Do not attempt to disassemble.
11. Avoid water or extreme humidity and keep in a
dry and cool place.
12 . Keep out of reach of children.
