    There should be a starter memory package included. Can't use "out of the box" even though it is supposed to be a complete "kit".

    4.0 out of 5 stars Need to knows for Filmmaker's Kit
    Reviewed in the United States on March 26, 2019
    I bought the Filmmaker's kit directly from Nikon with their upgrade program due to a generous trade-in.

    The Filmmaker's kit comes with an external recorder/monitor and gimbal for extra-steady shots. But it is not really possible to use it "out of the box." I'm not going to do an in-depth review of the Z6 or the other components - many people have done very thorough reviews of those. Instead, I want to help you get started quickly by highlighting a few things.

    Additional things you need to have or buy:

    SSD Drives for the Atomos Ninja V. Any 2.5" drive will work. You do not need to buy the extra-compact Atomos editions. Standard 2.5" drives are used with drive caddies (1 included in the box, you can buy packs of 5 for $30), and they project out the side a bit more than half an inch. Some might consider this beneficial, since it could provide some protection for the HDMI plugs from being knocked around. The special Atomos drives are far more expensive but fit flush to the unit with no projection. I bought 2 500GB Samsung 860 SSDs that are doing great as first recording units. They each hold more than 4 hours of 4K N-Log video. If I start using RAW (available in a future update) I likely will get some larger capacity units.

    Batteries for the Atomos Ninja V. The unit ships with an AC adapter, but unless you plan on only shooting next to an AC outlet, that is pretty useless. It takes standard Sony-style NP-F batteries, and there are numerous options available. They recommend at least a 5200mAh battery for 2 hours of monitor/record time, and you can buy larger/heavier batteries as well. Beware that most sellers on Amazon do not offer a fast charger. This could mean very long charging times for the batteries, especially higher capacity batteries.

    XQD Card for the Nikon Z6. At least 400Mb/s. I think most all cards sold do that now. I have used both Sony and Lexar with fine results in previous cameras. There is only one slot, so no backup capability. I've never had an XQD fail on me, but there's always a first time. So I will probably stick with 64GB cards and download them often to limit exposure to problems.

    Options:

    A hood for the Ninja V is awfully nice. Rather than pay the ridiculous price for a "genuine" plastic one, I made a foldable cardboard one.

    A different HDMI cable - the coiled cable is nice and compact to connect the camera to the Ninja V, but is so tightly coiled that it interferes with the gimbal balance. The gimbal is strong enough to overcome this, but it's an annoyance. Also the connector on the coiled cable is too wide to use Nikon's cable clamp on the Z6, which if you're having the HDMI stick out a lot, might be good as protection. I have a habit of whacking and damaging cables and connectors.

    Comments:

    I love the Z6. It feels good. The battery life is shorter than my other cameras, but not really something to complain about. Auto-upload to SnapBridge on a smartphone uses a lot of battery, but is great for geo-tagging and viewing your pictures. I was disappointed to not find an artificial horizon in the menus, until I found it as one of the normal pages shown with the DISP button. And it's particularly good! I chose the D6 for it's better low-light sensitivity and all-pixel use of the sensor for 4K video. And it has delivered very well. It's a great all-around camera.

    The Ninja V - If you want HDR type recording (and you do, if you want to high-end video), you need to use an external recorder. The camera will not record N-log (and presumably not raw in the future update) to an internal card. If you want standard recording, you can ditch the monitor and record in-camera. XQD cards are expensive compared to SSDs, and you can store a lot of video on an SSD. The Ninja V is a nice compact unit. Not lightweight including a battery. Several nice monitoring options. An additional stereo analog audio input supplements audio in the HDMI from the camera. The camera can send timecode to the Ninja V.

    The Moza Air 2: makes superb steady video. Lots of stabilization modes with separate on/off and responsivity for each axis. If you want focus or zoom control, you need to get the separate iFocus module. Theoretically the gimbal has Nikon USB control through the USB-C on the Z6, but I haven't gotten that to work. Also, even if it does work, with current firmware very few functions are even theoretically available - basically just the record trigger. Perhaps a future update will bring exposure control, and even better, USB focus control. Focus pulls and zooms are unwieldy and will jiggle the camera when done manually. This is a heavy unit. The Ninja V is difficult to mount with the included arm in a fashion that will keep it from sagging. If mounted to the right side, it will unscrew itself. There are optional brackets that would solve that problem. With camera and Ninja V, this is a very heavy combination that will give you a solid workout.

    3.0 out of 5 stars Frustrating Filmmaker's Kit leaves much to be desired
    Reviewed in the United States on February 26, 2019
    NOTE: This is a review of the Nikon Z6 Filmmaker's Kit, not the Nikon Z6 itself. The camera is great. This "kit", on the other hand, is incredibly frustrating and incomplete. 3 stars is generous for it, but I don’t want to give the camera a bad rep just because the kit is a mess.

    First and foremost, in order to USE everything that comes in this kit, you will need to ALSO purchase the following:

    An XQD Memory card (unless you think you’ll always be using the Atomos Ninja V to record on)
    An XQD Memory card reader
    A Solid state hard drive (in order to use the included Atomos Ninja V)
    A Hard drive dock (in order to get anything you’ve recorded on the SSD onto your computer)
    At least one NP-F batteries (unless you like being connected to an electrical outlet with the included cord and don’t plan to move around while using the Atomos Ninja V with the gimbal)

    At the time of this review, all of that ran my company an extra half grand to purchase. It was not fun telling my superiors that the money they’d already approved would not be enough.

    So after that was all taken care of, here is a list of other stupid things related to the kit that I discovered:
    1) It comes with a great Rode mic. However, you can’t use it in conjunction with the gimbal, because it will slam into the mic if you tilt it even slightly.
    2) The gimbal comes with several cords to connect it to various camera brands. However – get this – it DOES NOT COME WITH A CORD THAT WILL CONNECT TO THE NIKON CAMERA IT IS PACKAGED WITH. How ridiculous is that? It appears that I need a USB-C to USB-C cable. One more part I have to buy. So until I get that, I cannot use the gimbal to start and stop recording, or to adjust any camera settings. I have to press buttons on my camera with my off hand.
    3) The kit comes with an HDMI to mini-HDMI cord to connect the camera to the Atomos Ninja. The camera comes with a clip to keep the mini-HDMI from slipping out. However, the mini-HDMI end of the cord that comes with the kit is TOO FAT TO FIT THROUGH THE CLIP. Absurd.
    4) Once you connect the Atomos Ninja V to the articulating arm and the arm to the gimbal and the HDMI to the camera, it isn’t really possible to use the gimbal correctly because the coiled cord is so heavy it pulls on the camera and unbalances it. Also, all of this put together is extremely heavy, so unless you lift a lot, bro, you’re not going to want to carry this whole monstrosity around for more than a couple minutes.

    I will be using the gimbal with the camera. I will be using the Rode mic. I will be using the Atomos Ninja V. But I will NOT be using them all together at the same time, because it's just not practical (or in some cases, even possible).

    When all is said and done, the designers of this kit had so little concern for the needs of the customer that it has kinda soured me on Nikon as a whole, which is really disappointing.
