Z 30 Body

The SB-800 is fully iTTL and CLS compatible. Actually, it's fully compatible with every Nikon from the F to the Z9 with the maximal automation on each body. The only missing feature is radio controlled CLS that's only found in the SB-5000. It'd be hilariously topheavy on a Z30 though.

Also it's not like the battery life is absolutely terrible, it's the same as Canon R100, R50 and actually better battery life than the Nikon Z30, Z50 ii (and yeah it's actually shameful that a 12 year old Sony mirrorless has the same battery life as your relatively new offerings in 2026).

I was looking at buying a Nikon z30 mirrorless for $700 until I realized it didn't have a view finder. The z50 with the view finder is $1200. If this hack was a working alternative it could be interesting but I think I'd still have problems with framing.
