I m looking for a low profile L bracket for my XT5.  Any ideas? 

The L brackets listing on eBay are comes with a extended hand grip, which is not for my taste. All I want is a sample quick release bracket with the battery access.

Happy Holidays to you all.

Sunwayfoto makes one https://sunwayfoto-store.com/products/pfl-xt5-l-bracket-for-fujifilm-x-t5-arca-swiss-quick-release-l-plate 

SmallRig also has one and it's available to order from eBay.com https://www.ebay.com/itm/295314548925

Just be aware that both are shipped from China.  The latter has a delivery estimates of March :(  The former might delivered in a more reasonable time, but as SunwayFoto mentions on their web site, the Chinese Spring Festival may delay shipments.

There is also Really Right Stuff, but that is pre-order only and quite expensive at $225.

At some point, I'm sure the SunwayFoto bracket will be available on Amazon.com.  I have a number of rails and pano clamps from them that I ordered on Amazon to build my Pano rig.

Hi All,

I just made a purchase through AliExpress.https://www.aliexpress.us/item/3256804815855408.html?spm=a2g0o.order_detail.order_detail_item.3.52dbf19cHWUNSl&gatewayAdapt=glo2usa&_randl_shipto=US

The price is good and it is exactly what I want. I don't feel like to get the extra hand grip to make my camera bigger. That's the point to get an expensive APS-C camera, right? I shoot most landscape and like to pack light to hike.

I m not sure why the seller needs to take WEEKS to ship that little thing... will keep you all posted if I have received it. Fingers crossed.

I purchased one from this guy at :

https://www.ebay.com/itm/SmallRig-Arca-Swiss-L-Bracket-for-FUJIFILM-X-T5-Mirrorless-Camera-Black-4137/125592497931?pageci=d76a2f52-6fe4-4b25-a913-245b402155fe&epid=22057461559&redirect=mobile

He is saying March 4th for delivery, which is about the month it took me to get mine. The New Years festival doesn't help. SmallRig has been saying "Available Soon" since the XT5 release.

I like mine. I think it is well made. Really like the pop-out side bracket.

I have the JJC and Smallrig, have to say Smallrig is much better than JJC (the grip is too thicker ), unless you prefer a hard metal grip. I think Fuji's and Smallrig are best options.

For smallrig plate, you may have to grate the edge where the bottom of your hand rest for it to feel like the camera body edge.

I have the SmallRig that I bought in Dec. and it has been my best L-bracket for any of my cameras. The side bracket has an about one inch movement and it is easy to manipulate it. It enhances the camera and the grip of the camera.

Hi All,

The L-Bracket I brought from Aliexpress is pretty good. The side bracket is adjustable and removable.

I love it.

      XS10 and manual lenses

      By thelostkiwi · Posted

      All three of my bodies (X-E2, X-T4, GFX100S II) have shoot without lenses enabled and they have all had it set since I bought them.  No harm in it at all. Just remember to set the focal length when you fit a manual lens with no electronics otherwise the IBIS (if you have it) goes nuts. I regularly use vintage film lenses from Minolta, Zeiss, Mamiya, Rollei and others on my X mounts along with more modern manual focus stuff from TTArtisans. I also use Nikon AF-S lenses with a Fringer so the world is your oyster! Vintage lenses can be an absolute bargain too - For example the Zeiss 135 f/35 in M42 is as cheap as chips and very sharp as is the excellent Minolta 35-70 Macro (which is also rebadged Leica).

      Infrared Photography on X-E2 665nm

      By Neil Rosenberg · Posted

      I'm not exaggerating when I say that I have searched with great vigor (and at great expense) for a way to capture IR images with a Fujifilm camera for which I didn't have to use major amounts of sharpening to bring out the best. Zooms, primes, Fuji, Tamron, Viltrox, Sigma, Zeiss ... probably 20 lenses all told. Plus multiple IR converted Fuji cameras, X-T1, X-T3, X-T5. I even tried different ways of filtering IR, such as using the Kolari clip-ins and lens-mounted front filters. I was ready to give up until I almost accidentally tried one of the cheapest lenses out there -- the little TTArtisan 27mm F2.8. No hotspots that I could see, and best of all ABSOLUTELY SUPERB SHARPNESS across the entire frame. It's this attribute that I search for, and until now, never achieved. In my prior attempts, I listened to the advice from the "pundits", picking up a copy of the venerable Fuji 14mm F2.8, the Zeiss Touitt 12mm F2.8, Fuji 23 and 35mm F2.0, even the very similar 7Artisans 27mm F2.8, and none of them come even close to the TTArtisan for edge sharpness in infrared. Incidentally, I'm using a Kolari 720nm clip-in filter. Sure the TT has its issues -- vignetting at 2.8, tendency to flare with sunlight nearby, but all in all, this lens is glued to my X-T5 for now. This image was taken hand-held with this lens -- completely unedited!

      Screen is flipped with fan001

      By Tschortschli · Posted

      Hy there When Im using the fan001 on the XH2s and I flip the LCD Screen vertically by 180 degrees then the image flips vertically, what is good but it also flips horizontally. The clean feed on HDMI is not flipping horizontally but its also flipping if the HDMI output info display is on. When I unmount the fan then the image flips only vertically. My firmware is updated to the latest version. Any ideas if there is a fix for that?
