  • Power Cord M – allows for separation of Motor Drive LX or MX and their power sources.

FDP Grip Strap (for PZ-1, PZ-1p, Z-1, PZ-1p)

Note that the Pentax FDP Grip Strap is not a battery pack. It is merely a hollow plastic device that looks like one. It does make the Z-1 a lot easier and nice to hand-hold, however.
