I should have documented the process but frankly, I don't want to mess with the camera again. For me, the X-T3 is in a fixed position and (finally) will always run on the dc coupler. I will say that 1) the rubber pad lifts straight up from the battery chamber but is tethered so doesn't come off the camera body and, 2) the channel is narrow and I found that while the cable on the Wasabi coupler just barely allows the battery door to close, the cable on the Neewer does not.

I talked to Fuji late yesterday. I was told that the rubber piece on the X-T3 is indeed a channel cover and is tethered to the battery chamber. It can be pulled up though doing so is not nearly as easy as it should be. I was just able to do it with a very fine-tipped screwdriver. Their engineering in this case is less than stellar.

Thank you for both your response and your welcome. I'm quite sure the cable channel cover can be removed or lifted, presumably so that a dc coupler can be used, but Fuji didn't make that easy to do.

Is there a trick for removing or opening the cable channel cover in the X-T3 battery chamber? I can't even tell which direction it should be pulled.
