X-S10 Accessories

[David Fleetwood]

Coming from the M50 I was used to having a lot of online guidance for how to choose accessories for my camera choice depending on what my intended usage was.  I've had to feel it out as I go with the X-S10, which does not have quite the widespread coverage the M50 had.  I was noticing a lot of requests for items in this forum, often for simple functionality such as cable releases, eyecups and the like and thought it might be useful to start a thread sharing a few basic details about how we use our cameras, what we found worked well, what did not work out/was a waste of money, and links to where to find them.  Hopefully this is helpful to others.

Use: Photos only, no video

Type: Portrait, candid, street, protest & landscape

• Eyecup: Tekiac Eyecup for X-S10 (a necessity in my opinion, good quality, does not interfere with the screen and looks good)
• Bag: Tenba Messenger 8 (for when I'm going out with a couple extra lenses/filters/etc.)
• Holster: Think Tank Photo Digital Holster 10 v2.0 (for when I'm going out with a single lens, usually protest or street)
• Plate: Smallrig L bracket 3086 (I use this with the portrait mode removed unless I plan to use a tripod)
• Filters: H&Y RevoRing VND+CPL (not available yet, got in on the Kickstarter, works well but isn't as tight to some lenses as I'd prefer)
• Strap: Peak Design Slide Lite w/Fujifilm X Logo (this comes in and out of stock)
• Tripod: Manfrotto Befree Advanced (goes on sale on Amazon every so often, very nice and easy to set up, generic Neewer Arca-Swiss plate works with the Smallrig fine)
• Pouch: Tenba Reload Battery 2 (this attaches to the back of the bag, I keep two spare batteries in there for easy access)

One note: I am patient on what I buy, am willing to buy used, and usually have a price in mind when I add to a watch list/wish list. 

Any must have accessories for photos that I've missed here? Any alternatives to this setup that make more sense? What are you all carrying?

i also switched from a mirrorless canon to the x-s10, but from the M5

bags...too many bags...i never have the perfect bag...2 shoulder bags, 1 sling, 3 backpacks...

i also use a peak design leash for whenever i need to throw the camera over my shoulder, otherwise i attach a pd cuff

recently got a national geographic carbon tripod which seems really well made and goes up to 1.8m and it was only 100€

what is waiting in my basket on amazon is a set of 2 patona batteries, a nitecore dual charger and an L plate similar to the smallrig one but for half the price

 

the camera is quite new to the market and a different form factor from the regular fuji style of bodies so it makes sense that there aren't that many dedicated accessories yet, but this will change
