Hi, I had the same problem with my VBP-XT2. After a while of shooting, the battery indicator would show low charge on the batteries in the vertical battery grip. The only way to return to normal operation was to take the VBP away and reconnect it. But the problem was not solved for a long time. So, I sent it to Fuji under guarantee and they sent me a new one. I guess this is a problem with the first generation or batch of VBP. I also have problems with my XT-2, and my XF 100-400. All first-batch problems, according to my anslysis.

Hi, I have an X-T2, and yes it does get warm: at the bottom and elsewhere. If I turn the LCD screen down and touch the back of the camera, then it is hot there too. This happens with the new batteries too. This heat appears after a few minutes if one keeps the LCD and the camera on. To reduce the heat, I switch the LCD off and use the eye sensor to turn the EVF on when I look through it. This works well, but i have not tried it in hot weather. The camrea is warm but not extremely hot. The heat happens when I take still photos. I do not take videos. WIth 4k I guess it will produce more heat. I tried another X-T2 and it got warm too. One amazon review also mentions the heat problem. I also read it somewhere in a review from a professional person. When the ambient temperature rises, one will probably have more heat, since the camera cannot dissipate its heat as easily.

Hi. Thanks for the great pictures. During a presentation of the x-t2 by Fujifilm, I had the opportunity to "test" the camera for a couple of minutes. It was without the extra battery grip and got a little warm at the bottom and at the hand grip during still photo taking. Were you using the extra battery grip and did you notice any heating of the camera or grip?
