I just ordered an X-H1 and was wondering what everyone is using for baseplate or L-Plate.  

 

For my X-Pro2, I'm using Fuji's MHG-XPRO2 hand grip.

For my X-E2, I'm using Fuji's MHG-XE hand grip.

For my X-100F, I have the Really Right Stuff baseplate with removable L bracket.

 

Really Right Stuff apparently will offer a baseplate / L-plate for the X-H1, but it hasn't been released yet.

Kirk has one out, for roughly 140 bucks or so. As an L- Plate is just a mechanical piece of metal, which with todays technology can be made much more easily than in the past, I will not pay such a premium price. I wait for a cheap China made l- bracket for 25 bucks. Have been doing that for years now, for many cameras. Wiht one exception (where I had to buy a second one), only good experiences and loads of money saved.

However, at this point, no cheap l- bracket available for the X-H1.

Back in April, I received what I believe was the first L Plate Kirk Enterprises delivered for the X-H1. It is an object of beauty, with some great features such has a small Allen Key (supplied)  holder under the long side of the plate which also has a place to attach a Peak Design Anchor Link. I also appreciate the perfect clearance there is in between the short side of the plate and the camera, to allow easy opening of the connector door.  Pricey but well worth it !

Pierre is that a Fuji eyepiece surround?

Hi Mike,

 

 yes this is a Fuji model. It is compatible with X-T1 / X-T2 / X-H1 and GFX. I tried it with X-T1 and X-T2 but there are 2 problems :

1/ screen can't move easily, The eyecup is on the way of the screen

2/ It's not easy to use a Lensmate thumbrest with this eyecup

 

It works great ont the X-H1 because the EVF is not as close to the screen as on X-T1/T2. I think this eyecup is the better choice for X-H1, It is softer than the orginal eyecup and it is very adapted for use with glasses.

I ordered the RRS plate over the Kirk and I'll tell you why, the RRS's profile mirrors the entire base of the camera essentially extending the grip area following all the contours. One other thing I like is that they included a second threaded accessory hole opposite the grip. What this does is allow a balanced connection point for a swivel clip such as the Black Rapid has. I've owned both the Peak Design straps with their large clips and button dongles, I do like that the camera hangs in the same orientation with that system as there are two connection points. I do prefer the Black Rapid action and the RRS connection placement surprisingly keeps my rig hanging in the same orientation every time due to the offset receptacle (right below the focus mode dial)

My EC-GFX eyecup arrived today, and I agree with Pierre a better bet!

 

My take on Pierre's tip! Well done Pierre!

SmallRig makes affordable versions for the X-H1 with and without the grip. You won't find these on Amazon or B&H at this time but can order them direct from smallrig.com. Both include built-in tools for fastening the L-plate to the grip or body.

      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.
