The Nikon NX READY trademark I reported a few months ago is apparently for a new free smartphone app that is already listed at the Google Play store (not yet available at the Apple store). This is what we know:
Micro Clutch from Peak Design raised $1,077,801 of a $50,000 goal by 9,046 backers with 5 days to go (check also the official Peak Design website). Here is the compatibility with Nikon cameras:
The Micro Clutch is a low-profile hand strap alternative that strips away unnecessary bulk without sacrificing a secure, comfortable grip for mirrorless shooters. Designed to accommodate either 2 or 4 finger body grip with full access to camera controls, the Micro Clutch features an adjustable Hypalon strap with silicon padding. Micro Clutch can be quickly installed via an anodized base plate yet easily adjusted for instant access to the camera’s battery door.
The TRANSIT Travel Line by WANDRD raised $323,667 of a $30,000 goal by 1,311 backers with 12 days to go (check also the official WANDRD website).
The TRANSIT Travel Line includes four main products – the TRANSIT Travel Backpack, which comes in two sizes; the TRANSIT Carry-On Roller, the WANDRD Tote Backpack, and the Travel Wallet. All of these products were designed to work together to create a kick-ass travel experience from the moment you start packing your trip.
The SPINN self-adhesive protective gear wrapper raised $99,558 of $10,177 goal by 1,128 backers with 7 days to go.

Nikon Z8 doesn’t like aftermarket batteries – Nikon restricts customers to using OEM batteries “for your safety”: I have seen a few reports on this topic in the Nikon Z8 Facebook Group (see this post) but I do not have any additional information to share (third party Z8 batteries can be found at Adorama, Amazon, and B&H Photo):
Right after the new Nikkor Z DX 24mm f/1.7, 7artisans announced a 24mm f/1.4 APS-C lens for Nikon Z-mount:
