Hello guys, I'm about to order an XT3 camera from Fuji, and I'm looking for a tripod/stabilizer to use with it, as cheap as possible but good value.
This camera: https://www.coolblue.nl/product/819482/fujifilm-x-t3-body-zwart.html

Can I use this? https://www.amazon.com/Official-stabilizer-Limited-Midnight-Smartphone/dp/B00S10KFTC/ref=sr_1_1?fst=as%3Aoff&qid=1567014819&refinements=p_n_feature_keywords_browse-bin%3A7414838011&rnid=4007141011&s=electronics&sr=1-1

I haven't seen anything but a gimbal or glidecam/flycam provide sufficient stability for an un-stabilized camera body before. The latter is still pretty cheap. Or, buy a used gimbal.

Also, wider lenses will help the image appear to be more stabilized. When you're starting out, you may want to to use a lens between 10mm and 23mm. For long walking shots on a gimbal, I use as 12mm because anything above that and I notice bouncing in my walking steps.

    • I never knew the X70 existed! Looks interesting.
    • Equipment: Fujiflim X-M5 (firmware V 1.10). iPhone 15 pro (26.1) I am unable to properly connect my Fujifilm X-M5 to XApp on my iPhone 15 Pro. This setup previously worked without issues, but now the app only supports a basic remote shutter and no longer allows Get or Take mode, which are required for remote parameter control and shooting. I have repeatedly Initialized “FUJIFILM XApp”, re-paired the camera, reset wireless settings, and confirmed the camera is not in airplane mode, with both devices placed next to each other. None of these steps resolved the issue. Also, I am unable to update the camera firmware, as the process always fails with a “connection failed” message. I need clarification on whether this is a known firmware or compatibility issue and what the actual solution is.

    • Last day of autumn 2025. Autumn is gradual. Summer field crops slowly ripening. Cool, longer nights turn into morning fogs. Color (colour) touches here and there taking the place of flowers now resting until Spring. Then, after that slow introduction, Fall is everywhere. Winter is brash, Winter is not at all subtle. Freezing cold days and colder nights. The Sun struggles to get above the horizon. Bare fields, iced over streams and woe (‘Woe!! I say!’) to trees or shrubs holding onto leaves.

        But there is sledding, skiing and hot chocolate for those that like those things 😀.

      Winter is coming.
    • For some reason, the EV dial setting does not correlate to the EV setting displayed in the viewfinder.  My XT2 used to have parity between settings such that when the dial was at "0", the viewfinder also showed "0".  Has anybody else noticed this?  I've tried a reset of the s/w but no luck.
