I have been using the Fittest LB-XE1/XE2 baseplate and grip for a year or two now and I decided to fit the "L" bracket part to the base for portrait shooting.

Unfortunately there has been a production error in machining the dovetail specs compared to the base plate and the vertical plate is about 0.5mm thinner than it should be.

I have added some shims to the plate to make up the difference but it is still not perfect, plus the receipt for it is long gone.

What I would like to do is purchase another unit, but obviously from another supplier and I want to know if anyone can recommend a better unit without this discrepancy.

There are several options available on the net but you can't judge whether they are OK or not.

Anybody using this combination that does't require adjusting the clamp everytime?

I have the Sunwayfoto Quick Release tripod head.

Hello flyer, actually I haven't understood your problem quite well. Anyways here's the grip I use on my X-E2. It's one of those chineses, they all are.
I only use the L baseplate, I don't use the side part for the vertical shoot nor I ever tried to mount it. The grip works quite well but every now and then, if I use the 55-200 shooting vertically on the tripod, I have to tight the screw in the quick release plate because it gets loose.
I've attached the side part only to show you how it is.

Actually I cannot attach the other 2 pictures, but you can see them on the gallery in the main page.

      Transfer X-T5 for PC wi fi...

      By George_P · Posted

      Grzegorz, Go to the Networking Setting in your camera menu (the last one at the bottom - unless you have a My Menu then that is the last one). There, go to Network Setting and choose the SSID (name) of your WiFi network, type in the password, choose "SET". If you have a functioning DHCP server on your network, the camera should get its IP address (and Subnet_Mask and Gateway). If not, you can enter these manually. It is a little tricky, there will be some zeros already here, move the cursor after the zero and use DEL to delete it and make space in the input fields for your own correct values. If you do not know what to enter, have a look at values in the network settings of your computer and use the same except for the IP address, try some fairly higher number, hopefully you hit an unused one. Usually the values would be something like IP: 192.168.1.188, Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0, Gateway IP: 192.168.1.1  or something like that, take clues from your computer. The camera and computer must be on the same network. Then in Connection Mode on the camera, choose Wireless Tethering Fixed. And half-press the shutter to exit the menu and get in shooting mode. The red LED should be blinking. If you can look at your network devices, e.g. on your router, you should see the camera there. You can see check the camera settings in the camera menu in the INFORMATION item of the Network Setting menu to see the MAC address of your camera and look for it in the list of devices on your network.  Then use the tethering in your software, e.g. in Capture One. The camera may not show immediately, take a shot and then it should show in the list of available cameras. Good luck. Report back how did you fare.  PS If you have a Windows machine, you need to have Bonjour installed and running. Macs have it.

      Problem with multi exposure on XT5

      By George_P · Posted

      What GordW said. You have to put the drive mode dial to "S" - Single Frame. If you have it on CL, CH, BKT or Panorama (or HDR), the Multiple Exposure option will be greyed out in the shootng menu. On my X-T5 it works in RAW + JPG and also in JPG only. When Multiple Exposure is switched on, the image quality cannot be set to RAW only. If it was set to RAW only before switching Multiple Exposure On, image quality defaults to RAW+Fine. The result is JPG. After each shot press MENU/OK and after the last one press DISP/BACK.

      Switch On/Off error message constant with 32-64.

      By Scott Walker · Posted

      I also experienced this today with the GFX50r and the 32-64 . It always happens around f11-f16 at the 64mm end if I pull back slightly say to 60mm it doesn’t happen. Very annoying. I updated the camera and lens firmware it still occurs. Is Fuji aware of this problem.
