$130 is the sort of price I was trying to avoid when I started the thread.

I had a Chinese CNC machined L-bracket plus grip for my X-T1 (and bought a similar one for my son's X-T10)

The quality of both is excellent and I have probably spent $50 (in GBP) on both of them.

Maybe now the RRS grip is out the CNC machines will be firing up! :-O

I looked around for an L-Bracket as well and have only come up with RRS.  I have purchased a lot of equipment from RRS, but I think $130 (or even 70 for just the base plate) is very expensive, considering I bought a Neewer branded one for my XT-1 from Amazon that was every bit at good as the RRS version for $25.  If something doesn't show up in the next month or so, I may bite the bullet, but that extra cash can go towards some fast SD cards.

The RRS model is a two-piece device — a baseplate that can work alone and an add-on "side" plate to complete the L design. The full L-plate setup is $130. IIRC, you can get the baseplate only for $70. It seems to have been designed to not interfere with cables or access to the camera.

 

RRS is not cheap, but it is also very well made and reliable. Others may well disagree, but I'm OK with a higher price if the quality is top-notch.

I purchased a Neewer L bracket for my XT-1 from Amazon , works great and well made and a great price, I hope they will make one for the Pro 2 as well. If I remember correctly it was in the range of $20.00 US

from my conversations with RRS, I don't believe the X pro 2 L bracket will allow you to easily get into the slot for the remote.... i had this problem with my RRS L bracket for my XE1.... 

 

has anyone found an L bracket that allows you to easily get to the card slot, battery slot & the remote slot?

I just bought a Mengs L-Bracket on Amazon Germany and mounted it two days ago.. The additional grip is nice, the arca swiss grooves fit my tripod and I can access all doors and slots. It was a bit tight to mount, but it looks like it's doing its job...

I can get into the side slot just fine with the RRS L-plate on. I'm not sure why RRS would tell you otherwise. It's tight, sure, but perfectly doable.

Hey guys, happened to come across this discussion about the XP2 L bracket. So happened to fiddle around with an XP2 in store (Singapore) and came across this L bracket made in China. To me it is grippy and comfy being attached to an XP2. Do check it out. Its from SUNWAYFOTO.

      ISO and exposure dial’s misbehaving. Need help

      By Michaelb5 · Posted

      Hey everyone, I am new to the fujifilm system, and I just received my X100vi about 15 days ago, and yesterday I noticed that ISO and exposure dials are acting up. I spent hours watching YouTube videos and reading forms without finding any solutions. Using ChatGPT or Gemini also didn’t help. My issues are the following: If I want to set my ISO at a specific value then the camera LCD/EVF shows a totally different value. For example, I have shutter manual, aperture manual and ISO dial at 6400, the camera shows ISO at 4000, when I take pictures it will show ISO at 4000 and not 6400. When I try to choose another ISO value it will skip some of the available values that are shown on the dial. Another issue I am having is when my exposure dial is not set at specific value, then I cannot set ISO to Auto no matter what value I select on the dial. If I do select the different exposure compensation values, then I choose A for ISO, the camera will activate the front commend dial to manually change ISO values. To get in Auto ISO, the shutter speed cannot be set in auto and the ISO dial should be set at 125, when I turn the ISO wheel, it seems like the numbers are misaligned by one value, If I put the dial on A with shutter speed manual, then it will trigger the front commend dial. The other issue that I am having is when I have Aperture, shutter speed and ISO on manual, If I change the exposure dial compensation + or - , it actually changes the exposure of the picture as well as the ISO value, which as I understand, if Camera is in full manual, the exposure dial should do nothing. The last issue that I am having, if I do have ISO in manual at a set value, and adjust exposure compensation dial, it alters my ISO instead of my shutter speed or my aperture, even though ISO is in Manual and the other two dials are in Automatic. I am not really sure if all of this is by design and I am just not understanding how everything works together, but it seems really odd how everything changes. Resetting the camera settings didn’t help.

      Remote Release suddenly stopped working

      By FSND · Posted

      I also have the eaxct problem with my X-T5. The remote used to work, but not anymore. I also get the light coming on on the camera back, and autofocus will happen, but no shutter release. Since I use the 2 or 10 seconds timer more I don't know if a firmware update is the cause of this negative change. I actualley only use the wired jack-remote for action release on a tripod.  Did anybody find a cause, and even more assisting, a solution?

      OVF magnification

      By Rich Martin · Posted

      On my XPro 2 the rear command dial, when pressed, can cycle through 3 different magnification levels in the OVF.
