Questions & Answers

Samantha D : Will the battery group for XT2 also work for XT3?LOUIS S : No it is specific to the XT2 and will not work on the XT3. The body shape and size are different on the XT3.ERIC B : Google and the internet are your friend. Both cameras use the same battery. Not sure what you mean by battery group.Dennis C : Batteries are interchangeable between the xt2 and xt3 grips are not between cameras. Sorry I misunderstood your questionTHOMAS S : NoDennis C : no
Karen W : Would this fit the Fuji X T10? If not, is there one for that model?JEFF D : No. It only fits the XT2. There is not a booster grip for the XT10. You can get a non-battery grip or l-bracket if your goal is improved comfort and ergonomics.RYAN D : No it wouldn’t, and no there isn’t a battery grip for the XT 10 but there is a hand grip.CHRISTOPHER A M : No- all battery grips (much like Canon, Nikon and others) are camera-specific. This only attaches and functions with the X-T2.MARY O : I do not know. I have the X-T2 and use the grip with it all the time. Love the way it fits in my hand and I have two extra batteries inside it so can shoot for many hours.
Shopper : Is this useful accessory for a newbie / casual photographer?JOHN K : Useful, but there is a downside of added size and weight. Very useful if you have larger hands and want more to grip. needless to say the two extra batteries keep you shooting for a much longer time. Helps while shooting in portrait as the extra shutter release natural falls under your shooting fingers. Not essential for a casual photographer but often very useful.George T : I wouldn’t say so, unless you are planning on getting a large telephoto. The battery life is nice thoughLOUIS S : If you are new to photography, in my opinion the answer is no. The grip does add heft and balance to the camera along with more battery reserve and higher frame rates on continuous and a portrait oriented shutter button. For your purposes, stay light and simple and gripless and always have a charged battery before going out with a charged spare. You will never exhaust both batteries on a day's shoot.JEFF D : The answer depends on what you are going to shoot. The XT2 grip speeds up autofocus and shooting speed in CH mode which is very useful for action/sports/moving photography. It also triples battery life (since you have 3 batteries) so if you shooting a lot of images and are worried about running out of power in the middle, then the extra power will useful. Although I've thought that the complaints about battery life are overstated. I'm usually fine with one battery in the camera and one in my pocket just in case. I photograph my son's sports and my wife's horse events and the grip definitely is nice for this type of shooting. Finally, if video is your thing, the extra battery life increases video time and the grip have the headphone jack for monitoring your audio.BRUCE E J : While I do love the compact size and general ergonomics of the new Fuji X gear, I still find it to be a bit small for my hands (I don't like having my last two fingers hanging below the bottom of the camera). This accessory is the perfect solution, not just for making vertical--portrait mode--shots easier, but also for helping to stabilize all shots by providing a heftier, more stable grip. Consider, as an example, that the flagship cameras of Nikon and Canon always come with this feature built in--it's one of the defining characteristics of a flagship camera, and if the camera doesn't have it, it's the first accessory I always add. And Fuji's implementation is a perfect fit. It really does enhance the shooting experience for me.

Fuji X-T2 power grip is a great tool

The power grip has really helped my sports and portrait photography by providing a very comfortable grip and necessary controls at the tips of my fingers in "portrait" position. It also provides a great counter balance for heavier lenses, such as the F/2.8 16-55mm and F/2.8 50-140mm. It is well made, easy to attached, attaches securely, easy to use, easy to charge, provides a great grip and controls for portraits and sports photography, as well as adding extra battery life and boosting already great performance for the X-T2. Adorama had the X-T2, 18-55mm lens and power grip at a bargain price for the same cost as other companies were selling the X-T2 body alone. Highly recommended for people shooting portraits or sports.

works great

You need it if you are going to use long lenses (50-140, 100-400) on the Fuji bodies to balance out the weight and the extra batteries give you up to 1000 shots instead of 300+

Fujifilm XT-2 Power Booster

I don't know why I waited so long to buy this. It is great having three batteries all the time and I like the stability and feel it gives to the camera. Plus the extra boost is great for action shots.

Great add on for the Fuji XT-2

Highly recommend this grip for any Fuji XT-2 user. Speeds up several aspects of the cameras performance and gives you full camera controls when you shoot vertical.

Excellent addition if you're shooting with the X-T2 and need battery life and added speed and power.

Minus a star for the price......

A single battery in the X-T2 may last up to 3.5 hours when using just the EVF. If you turn on the display you'll barely make it to 2 hours of usage. This grip is almost a "must have" after a while and it makes a huge difference in battery life. I've gone 2 whole days shooting and downloading pictures to my iPad before the second battery hit the halfway marker... while the third battery in the camera itself was still at full charge. In-camera functionality wise, it's as great as everyone else has said it was. My only complaint is the price. It's a much needed component but $ is a bit steep.

Fuji Grip - a must have!

An absolute must have for the X-T2 Fuji, to take advantage of Boost/Beast mode. Taking portraits would not be as fun without it!

Good if you need it

I got the recent X-T2 and grip deal for $. I would've never paid the extra $ for the grip if I didn't think I could sell if for more than that because it's not something I need or ever expect to use. Keep that in mind when reading the rest of this. It is well made and does all the things everyone says it does. But, I was surprised that it doesn't line up smoothly with the camera body on one side. Seems a bit sloppy from design perspective but I'm not sure if it really matters to anyone. I can see the benefit for portrait and action shooters, but it still seems over priced.

Works well, handy features, but strange design

This grip is a must have for the X-T2 for me. It supercharges the camera, it adds weight and stability, it's got great build quality, and the ability to charge your two grip-batteries with the wall adapter is awesome. I took off 1 star because the button placement on the grip doesn't even come close to matching the placement on the body. Your AF-L, AE-L, and rear dial are in completely different places, so you can't rely on muscle memory the way you'd really want to. It's very inconvenient to try to use those buttons, and I find myself thrown off on a shoot a lot of the time, especially trying to use back-button focus.

Amazing grip.

I held off on buying the grip because of the price, but at the sale price I couldn't pass up on it. The grip is amazing and feels great . I should've bought it earlier. If you are on the fence about getting just buy it. It's amazing.

Great but not perfect

Works very well. My only issue is there's nowhere to store the booster's pin protector. The pin cover for the camera pins has a storage slot so you won't as easily lose it, but nothing similar for the booster's pin cover. I don't use the booster all the time and I can see losing the cover.

Does its job.

My original reason for buying the X-T1 was b/c I wanted to lighten my carry weight. After having shot it for almost 2 years, I upgraded to the X-T2. Same reason, just wanted more pixels and such. I have increased confidence in the X-T2 for shooting more commercial jobs and getting the grip made sense. It's a nice addition if you're shooting where you need quick vert and horizontal shots. Plus, by inserting 2 of the NP-126 batteries in the grip, you can shoot 3x as long! As with most grips, you have to remember to lock the buttons so you don't accidentally hit them. Searching for the shutter button and back focus button takes some getting used to (without looking of course) as they're placed a bit differently from these same buttons on the camera itself. The shutter button is a bit more recessed than I like it as I have to work a little harder in feeling around for it while looking through the viewfinder. I recommend. It's build to Fujifilm quality.

Batteries charge in the camera! Love it!

This alone makes the grip a success for me. I was ready to buy a dual battery charger and was delighted to find out that the A/C adapter simply plugs into the socket on the grip to charge both batteries simultaneously. I use the USB 3.0 port on the camera body to charge in the 3rd battery at the same time! 3 little green lights lets you know status. I have always used battery grips because I may large hands. This grip is well thought out and works well with the camera.

Adds extra performance to X-T2

This is a Power Booster grip which adds some performance increases to the X-T2 as well as serves as a battery grip. The grip holds two additional batteries, for a total of three batteries. The batteries are not included, so plan on spending the additional cost of batteries. Additionally, the grip has a Boost mode which improves AF speed and can increase the frames per second in continuous shooting mode. For users who shoot a lot of video, the grip offers extended recording lengths and a headphone jack. I think the grip feels nice and has worked well. It does add some significant weight and size to the camera taking away the size advantages of the X-T2. It is really easy to remove, so it can be attached and removed as needed. For the advantages of the grip, the price is probably fine, but I think the batteries are a bit overpriced.

A great way to modify form, function, and capabilities for different shooting objectives. A must for action or extended shooting sessions.

Integrates perfectly with the XT-2. It provides a very comfortable form factor for vertical and horizontal shooting and adds the perfect amount of heft for balance when you want a bigger set up. Removes easily when you want to go small/light. Boost mode is a noticeably improved functionality. The shorter mirror less battery life compared with a DSLR is much less of an issue with three batteries. I'm very glad I made this purchase.

Best camera for professional quality, I love it.

Best camera ever owned, for the last ten years i owned Canon, Sony and Panasonic but never felt satisfied like i do know, easy to use, good low light performance, the best part is "Lenses" hands down, best quality and reasonably priced. I'm building my lens collection based on this camera.
