Ready to take amazing photos with your Nikon camera? There’s a whole world of Nikon DSLR accessories that can bring your photography to a new level.

Whether you shoot portraits, weddings or landscape photography, this guide makes it easy to find the essential camera accessories you need. Let’s get started.

1. Best Flash For Nikon

You might be a big fan of natural light photography, like me. But there are loads of reasons to own an external flash. Obviously low light situations and indoor settings call for extra light. But you’ll even need a flash to throw light on people in the foreground of a sunset photo.

Altura Photo Professional Flash Kit for NIKON DSLR - Includes: I-TTL Flash (AP-N1001), Wireless Flash Trigger Set and Accessories Kit includes: 1 Altura Photo I-TTL Auto-Focus Dedicated Flash + Wireless Camera Flash Trigger and Camera Remote Control Function (1 Transmitter, 1 Receivers) + Cable-M Cord for Remote Control + Protective Pouch + Hard Flash Diffuser + MagicFiber Microfiber Cleaning Cloth

This flash offers off camera flash and wireless trigger up to 100 ft.

2. Tripods

A good steady tripod is a must, especially when you create an exposure under about 1/40 second. Otherwise, you’ll end up with blurry shots with even the slightest movement. Below is a good lightweight travel tripod and a low profile or table top option to get lower shooting angles.

Full Size Tripod

This Zomei is has been my steady companion for the last few years. I love how compact it is for travel. It functions as both a lightweight travel tripod and an easy-to-setup monopod. It features a ball head with a quick release mounting plate. It has a column hook for hanging a weight for additional stability. And you can adjust the height from 18″ to 65″ with its rotating leg locks that control four adjustable leg sections.

Compact Tripod

When you need a low profile or table top tripod, there’s no better option than the Joby GorillaPod 3K. The flexible grip legs allow you to attach it to almost any surface. It holds up to 3 kilograms (6.6 lbs). The mounting plate is a super easy-to-use snap-in mount and has a ball head for smooth 360 degree panning and 90 degree tilt movement. You can even attach a Joby GripTight Mount to switch from DSLR to mobile phone shooting in seconds. Check out this Joby GorillaPod 3K review I wrote for more details.

3. Wide Angle Zoom Lens

If you want to capture more of your scene in one frame, you need a wide angle lens. This is what landscape photographers like me use on a regular basis. They’re also great for wedding photographers who want to squeeze an entire wedding party in one shot. Unlike a fixed prime lens, a wide angle zoom allows you some flexibility in focal distance.

If you shoot with a cropped sensor camera, this Tokina 11-16mm was designed for that. It offers an even wider viewing angle than the lens mentioned above and still at a great price. I’ve used this a lot in my own landscape work. The f/2.8 aperture lets in plenty of light during night photography sessions.

4. DSLR Remote Control

Besides using a tripod, the best way to avoid camera shake while taking an exposure is to use a shutter release cable. This little device is one of the most used items in my kit bag besides my camera itself. Landscape photographers especially need a good camera trigger to reduce the chance their camera will move during a long exposure. Here are a couple of different types of remote shutter releases that make great Nikon dslr camera accessories.

Shutter Release Cable (Wired)

Pixel Remote Commander Shutter Release Cable DC0 for Nikon Fujifilm Kodak Cameras with Pholsy Screen Cleaning Cloth, Replaces Nikon MC-30A Cable length: 120 CM. Compatible camera models: Nikon D3, D4, D4s, D5, D6, D850, D800, D800E, D810, D810A, D700, D500, D300, D200, F6, F100, F5, F90X, F90, N90s, D1X, D2H, D3X; Fujifilm S5 Pro, S3 Pro; Kodak DCS-14n

Shooting mode: single shooting, continous shooting, long exposure (BULB)

Shutter control: support half-press (starting AF), full-press, lock the shutter. Users can utilize according to actual shooting situations to get a better shooting

Better hand-feel and more accurate shooting: thoughtful ergonomic design, the notch at the back is ideal for most of the people's hand type

This cable is as straight forward as it gets. A connection to your camera on one end and a big button on the other to trigger your camera’s shutter to release. It doesn’t get easier than that. But in case you want some fancy-pants settings, it does support these shooting modes: single shooting, continous shooting, long exposure and BULB mode. Plus, it will initiate a half-press and full-press. And you can even press up on the button to lock your shutter in the open position for as long as you want. Perfect for photographers who want to shoot long exposures.

NOTE: Be sure to choose the appropriate cable connection for your camera.

5. Nikon Lens Cleaning Accessories

Your camera gets dirty. Clean it.

Dust, fingerprints, dirt, sand, grease and grime can all degrade the quality of your images and the performance of your camera. These camera cleaning accessories will help you keep your lenses, filters and camera body clean as a whistle.

6. Nikon Filters: UV & Polarizing

UV Filter

The most important filter I would recommend that’s not very expensive is a UV (ultra violet) filter. This will extend the life of your lens and camera sensor by limiting harmful UV rays. But it also acts as a very low cost way of protecting your lens from accidental bumps and scratches. I would much rather pay a few dollars replacing a cracked filter than a few hundred dollars buying another lens.

Tiffen 77UVP 77mm UV Protection Filter Most popular protection filter

Provides basic reduction of ultraviolet light

Helps eliminate bluish cast in images

77 millimeters diameter

Circular Polarizer Filter

A good circular polarizer will help you cut down on the glare typically found when shooting around water and add a little extra color boost to your shots. Below are the most common sizes, but just search for more if you need a different size.

Tiffen 77CP 77mm Circular Polarizer Essential for outdoor photography

Deepens intensity of blue skies

Reduces or eliminates glare

77 millimeter diameter

Circular construction

7. Reflectors

Sometimes natural light and studio lights alone won’t give you the ideal exposure. A quick and easy way to solve this problem is by using a reflector to bounce light onto your subject.

The best photography reflectors are collapsible and portable. And they should come with more than one type of reflector and diffuser built in so you have a lot of lighting options. Here’s my favorite one.

This is a 5-in-1 reflector that has translucent, silver, gold, white and black discs. The silver side brightens shadows and highlights and is very bright. It doesn’t change the color of the light. The gold side gives the reflected light a warm color cast. The white side brightens up shadows and allows you to get a little closer to your subject. The black side subtracts light and deepens shadows. And the translucent disc in the middle is used to diffuse the light falling on your subject. This reflector fits all standard reflector holders and comes with its own storage and carrying bag.

8. Camera Backpacks

I bought the following two camera backpacks to have a smaller and larger option, depending on how far I’m traveling and how much gear I’m planning to carry. A few things to consider when buying a Nikon dslr bag are:

How far will you travel?

What gear will you typically take?

How many lenses do you need to be able to carry?

Do you need quick access to your gear without taking off your camera backpack?

There are lots of great Nikon camera bags out there, but these are my favorites.

Small Walk-Around Camera Backpack

Plus the front storage panel will hold all those small Nikon DSLR accessories you need to carry with you (and your car keys and phone!). It also has a hideaway tripod mount that secures your favorite tripod to the side of the pack. Plus, you get body-side access for extra security and quick access to your gear while on the move.

Larger Travel Camera Backpack

Sale Lowepro ProTactic 450 AW Camera Backpack - Professional Protection for Your Camera Gear or DJI Mavic Pro/Mavic Pro Platinum Never miss a critical mission thanks four access points: the molded, turret-loading top, quick-grab from both sides, and full, back entry for set-up and security

Tripod

Lots of other Nikon dslr accessories

It can even fit the DJI Mavic Pro drone

9. Telephoto Zoom Lens

In order to reach faraway subjects, you’ll need a telephoto zoom lens. This is ideal for wildlife photography. And also great for cropping in tight on any other detail you’re trying to capture. The challenge when buying any telephoto lens is finding a good balance between price and physical weight. The farther they zoom, the heavier and more expensive they usually are. But one of the best Nikon accessories to have on hand.

Sale Nikon AF-S FX NIKKOR 200-500mm f/5.6E ED Vibration Reduction Zoom Lens with Auto Focus for Nikon DSLR Cameras Compact super telephoto zoom lens for birding, wildlife, motorsports, events and more

500 millimeter of zoom power on fx format DSLR; 750 millimeter equivalent on dx format DSLRs, minimum focus distance: 7.2 feet ( 2.2 meter), focal length range: 200 500 millimeter

Fast f/5.6 constant aperture for beautiful out of focus backgrounds and low light performance

4.5 stops of vibration reduction with sports mode. Approx. Weight 81.2 ounce. Approx. Dimensions (diameter x length) 4.2 inch x 10.5 inch( based on CIPA guidelines)

Af compatible with optional TC 14e series tele converters and DSLRs that offer f/8 support. Mount type: Nikon f bayonet

Looking for a super telephoto lens for birding, wildlife, motorsports, events and more? This is a great option. If you’re shooting on a full frame camera you’ll get 500mm of zoom. On a cropped DX sensor, you’ll get about 750mm. That’s pretty far! All that zoom comes with a bit more weight and length than the 70-200mm. You’ll be carrying glass that’s 81.2 oz and 10.5 inches long. So be sure you’ve got room in your camera bag and a strong back.

10. External Monitor

Ever wish you could have a larger monitor to view your shots as you take them? Want to take a self portrait or record video of yourself but you need help framing your shot? The solution to these issues is an external monitor (or field monitor). A field monitor can help you achieve optimal framing and focus without squinting at your camera’s tiny LCD screen. Here’s the one I use.

VILTROX DC-70EX 7" 4K HD 1024x600 HDMI/SDI/AV Input Output Camera Video LCD Monitor Display for DSLR, with hot Shoe Adapter Input Jack: HDMI / SDI / AV / YPbPr / TALLY signal input; Output Jack: HDMI / SDI / AV signal output .

Broadcast quality 3G-SDI, 4K HDMI monitoring，use for pro or consumer cameras,3.5mm Ear Phone Slot, Built-in Speaker.

DC-70EX integrated histogram, embedded audio, false color, exposure, check field, pixel to pixel, zoom in professional functions, assist users to accurately exposure and focus when shooting, making and playing movies/ videos.

With Sun shade hood, reduces the reflections during outdoor shooting and protects the LCD screen when folded.

As the camera operators may shift his/her position relative to the monitor during the shot. DC-70EX 178°wide viewing angle allows the operator to have a clear.

This budget field monitor is friendly on your wallet but packed with useful features. It has a 7″ LCD display with 1024 x 600 resolution. It has 2 HDMI jacks and 2 SDI jacks. It comes with a sunshade hood to block sun glare and a hot shoe adapter to mount on top of your camera. One of the coolest features is the Focus Peaking Assist which uses color outlines to help you see when your shot is perfectly in focus.

NOTE: You’ll need to buy a compatible DC input power supply or a battery and travel charger separately, which are both not too expensive.

11. Memory Cards

Today’s dslr cameras can easily produce RAW files over 20MB. And when you’re shooting hundreds of photos in a single day, that can add up quickly.

Just like batteries, memory card storage is something you don’t want to be short on when you’re on a photo shoot. It’s a necessary accessory for your camera. In general it’s better to have more than you think you’ll need. So I’ve listed a couple below with larger size options for each.

SanDisk Extreme PRO 128GB up to 95MB/s UHS-I/U3 SDXC Flash Memory Card - SDSDXPA-128G-G46 Shot speeds up to 90MB/s; transfer speeds up to 95 MB/s

Sony Professional XQD G series 120GB Memory Card (QD-G120F/J) Xqd performance: The new XQD cards achieve Max read 440MB/s, Max write 400MB/S2 by using PCI Express Gen. 2 interface.

And it allows for blazing fast continuous burst mode shooting of up to 200 RAW images. Just be aware that you’ll need an XQD card reader to transfer photos. One of my favorite Nikon D500 accessories.

12. Best Nikon Lens For Video: Prime Lens

A prime lens has a fixed focal distance. They’re usually lighter and more compact than zoom lenses. And a larger maximum aperture means a much tighter depth of field and faster shutter speeds. But with a prime lens, you’ll have to get used to moving around instead of zooming in on your subject. All-in-all, investing in a few prime lenses can be worth it for the quality of your photos in various shooting situations.

Nikon AF-S DX NIKKOR 35mm f/1.8G Lens with Auto Focus for Nikon DSLR Cameras F mount lens/DX format. Picture angle with Nikon DX format 44 degree

52.5 millimeter (35-millimeter equivalent). Rear focusing; Manual focus override

Aperture range: F/1.8 to 22; Dimensions(approx.) 70 x 52.5 millimeter

Silent wave motor AF system. Accepts filter type is screw on. Lens construction: 8 elements in 6 groups

Compatible formats is dx and fx in dx crop mode. Maximum reproduction ratio: 0.16x

Another great walkaround prime lens from Nikon. This 35mm lens is very light and compact. Perfect for traveling. It offers phenomenal low light performance with the f/1.8 aperture. It’s also very quiet. And it does as good a job as the 50mm version of blurring the background from your subject.

13. Walkaround Lens

The 18-55mm kit lens that typically comes bundled with Nikon cameras offers a good start. But it’s just not quite enough. Buying a good “walkaround” lens will give you the ability to shoot subjects near and far without the need to switch out lenses as often.

Sale AF-S DX Nkr 18-200mm F/3.5-5.6G ED VR II One-lens solution adept in a wide variety of situations

Focal length range: 18 -200 mm, minimum focus Distance: 1.6 ft.

Two extra-low Dispersion (ED) elements; three aspherical lens elements

Exclusive Nikon Silent Wave Motor (SWM), Nikon VR II (vibration reduction) image stabilization

Focus to 20 inches for extended versatility, filter thread: 72 mm.Maximum angle of view (dx-format)76°.minimum angle of view (DX-format) 8°.Accepts Filter Type:Screw-on

If you’re looking for more range of focal length in a Nikon lens, this is a good option. The 18-200mm zoom will allow you to capture subjects much further away, like animals you might otherwise scare off if standing to close. This lens has excellent Vibration Reduction (VR) to compensate for camera shake that is more noticeable especially when you’re zoomed in tight.

14. External Hard Drive

While it’s not a shooting accessory, an external hard drive is a must for any serious (or funny) photographer. Because today’s dslr cameras produce large file sizes, you need something that can hold all that precious data. And you need something that’s portable and fast so you can upload your shots and process them on the go. Here’s what I use.

Sale LaCie Rugged Thunderbolt USB 3.0 2TB External Hard Drive Portable HDD (STEV2000400) Capture and edit content like a pro with Rugged Thunderbolt USB 3.0, an external hard drive that provides extreme durability and fast performance

For those who have a need for speed, transfer with speeds of up to 130MB/s using the integrated Thunderbolt cable that seamlessly wraps around the enclosure when not in use

This 2TB portable hard drive is a workhorse. It’s got an integrated Thunderbolt cable and an optional USB 3.0 cable. So it works with both Mac and PC. It starts up quick and has fast read/write speeds (510 Mb/s with an SSD like my Macbook Pro). Plus, it’s drop resistant (5 ft.), crush resistant (1 ton), and water resistant. Read my LaCie Rugged 2TB review for more details.

15. Continuous Lighting

Depending on your shooting situation, you may prefer to have continuous lighting instead of flashes. Today’s Dslr cameras double as very good quality video cameras. Continuous lighting for a studio setup makes it easy to flick on the lights and start recording. Here are a couple of options for continuous lighting.

Soft Box Lighting

16. Macro Lens

A macro lens is best when you want to capture fine detail of something very close like insects and flowers. You can use a zoom lens for this. But a macro lens is specifically designed to shoot a vary narrow depth of field and still keep sharp focus.

Sale Nikon AF-S VR Micro-NIKKOR 105mm f/2.8G IF-ED Lens Designed for close-up and macro photography; versatile enough for virtually any photographic situation

Maximum Angle of View (FX-format): 23°20'.Features new VR II vibration reduction technology, Focal Length : 105 mm, Minimum Focus Distance : 1.03 ft( 0314 m)

This is a larger and more expensive macro lens. But it has a longer fixed focal length. Like the 40mm version, this lens also have a solid Vibration Reduction (VR) function built in. And the f/2.8 aperture lets you let more light in blur your background quite well.

17. External Microphones

It’s no secret that DSLRs are being used more and more for their video capabilities. Shallow depth of field and low light captures are just a couple of great reasons why vloggers and indy film makers use what photographers use. Just don’t rely on the built-in microphone of your DSLR if you want your videos to be taken seriously. The sound quality leaves a lot to be desired! Instead, attach one of these external microphones to your camera for superior sound quality.

Lavalier Mic

This shotgun mic will eliminate background noise and focus like a laser to pick up sound in only the direction you point it. The integrated Rycote Lyre shock mount system minimizes vibrations and electronic interference from your camera. And the fuzzy Windbuster cover significantly reduces wind noise and vocal pops.

18. Neutral Density Filters

Neutral Density (ND) filters allow photographers to balance their exposures when light conditions aren’t optimal. They act like sunglasses for your camera, either for a portion of the frame or for your entire shot.

If you want a more detailed guide to buying the right nd filters, check out this post. Otherwise, here are some ways to get started with ND filters.

Threaded Ring Solid ND Filter

B+W 77mm ND 3.0-1,000X with Single Coating (110) This filter uses our standard B+W F-Pro filter mount, which has a front accessory thread and is made of brass

Truly Neutral Gray design

Manufactured from Water-White Schott Glass

This screw-on ND filter is a great way to experiment with what you can do using a neutral density filter. Reducing your exposure by 10 full stops will have you blurring clouds and making water look silky in no time. If you’re not ready to move into a complete nd filter kit yet, this is a rather inexpensive way to go.

Solid ND & Graduated ND Filter Kit

If you’re ready to dive headlong into the world of long exposure photography and want a wide range of ND filters and GND filters packaged in an all-in-one accessories kit, this is the way to go. Lee is a trusted name in filters. And these filters make awesome accessories for your Nikon. This kit has it all:

(3) 4×6 Soft Edge Grad ND Filters & (3) 4×6 Hard Edge Grad ND Filters

4×4 Big Stopper & 4×4 Little Stopper

105mm Slim Landscape Circular Polarizer & Front Accessory Ring

FK Holder & 77mm Wide Angle Ring

19. Extra Batteries

Carrying extra camera batteries is a must for any photographer. It doesn’t matter how close you are to a charging station. When you run out of juice, it’ll be when you need it the most…right in the middle of a shoot. So get yourself at least one or two extra batteries, if not a couple more. Be prepared!

Below are some of the more common Nikon dslr batteries.

**NOTE: Where possible, I’ve listed compatible Nikon model numbers. But be sure to take a look at the battery that came with your camera and double check which one your DSLR uses before you buy one of these. If you’re still not sure, check this chart.

21. Mobile Photography Apps

Sometimes one of the most useful Nikon camera accessories is already riding around in your pocket. Your mobile phone! There are tons of great mobile phone apps out there to make life easier for photographers. Here’s a couple of my favorite ones.

The Photographer’s Ephemeris

“Odd name. Great app.” This is a feature rich app that helps you pinpoint exactly where the sun and moon and even Milky Way will rise and set, no matter where you are. This is the perfect app for any outdoor photographer.

Buy on Apple

Releases

Need to get a model or property release while you’re shooting in the field? Now you don’t need to bring blank paper copies or a pen. Just use your the Releases app on your phone to quickly and get the permission you need to photograph your subjects.

Download from Apple

Long Exposure Calculator

Another great app for anyone learning landscape photography. Simply choose the ND filter you want to use and select your base shutter speed. The app automatically calculates how long your exposure needs to be. It even gives you a timer you can activate so you know exactly when to stop your exposure. Super helpful for exposures over a minute long!
