X-T50 Handgrip, Silicone L-Shape Handle for FUJIFILM X-T50 Camera, Built-in Quick Release Plate for Arca, with Shutter Button and Hot Shoe Cover, Charcoal Silver - 4712

I had a tough time deciding between the silicone version [ASIN B0D6RF6518], the wood version [ASIN B0D6RF8NNG], and the leather half case [ASIN B0D7Z8DYBX] so I bought all 3.After testing each below are my initial thoughts...Silicone version [ASIN B0D6RF6518]- More grippy than wood version as expected because of silicone vs wood- Little bit bigger than the wood version (1-2 mm maybe) which provides just enough clearance for fingers with bigger lenses- Charcoal color matches camera perfectly- Nice touch that they added a NICE hotshoe cover and soft shutterWood version [ASIN B0D6RF8NNG]- Wood grip looks nice but is a little slippery (as to be expected)- Wood part is a little smaller (1-2 mm) than the silicone version so provides a little bit more clearance for fingers- Charcoal color matches camera perfectly- Nice touch that they added a NICE hotshoe cover and soft shutterLeather half case [ASIN B0D7Z8DYBX]- Leather feels ok but a bit cheap feeling- Leather not glued down properly around the finger grip part in front making the leather feel a bit spongy- No arca swiss plate built inI'm still undecided on the wood vs silicon versions but hope this helps others!For reference, the lens in pictures where I'm holding the camera is 35mm 1.4 and the lens in picture with tape measurer is 27mm 2.8 WR.

The XT-50 is a fairly light camera and feels unbalanced in the hand with heavier lenses. This grip really helps without adding much weight. The camera is much easier to handle with one hand. The battery/SD card opening is not covered with the grip in place. That being said it is somewhat more difficult to to remove the SD card but this is a flaw that rest mainly with the camera. The grip is designed to attach directly to a tripod. It’s very well built and feels like a part of the camera.

The Fujifilm X-T50 grip is an outstanding upgrade! It adds the perfect amount of grip thickness, making the camera much more comfortable to hold and shoot with. The built-in tool for tightening and mounting to a tripod is super convenient and a thoughtful touch. Highly recommend this for anyone looking to enhance the handling and functionality of their X-T50!

I bumped this up a star because I've become more accustomed to using it. Still not my favorite but it is a compact camera body. It doesn't add any real weight which is nice. Smallrig did reach out and offer me a full refund on my purchase after my original review, which was appreciated. I may look at the retro full cage to see if I like it better.Original review below:I have large palms and was hoping adding this grip with give more real estate when I'm using my new X-T50. It definitely adds front to back depth, but encroaches towards the lens barrel way too much. I can't even get my fingers comfortably in the space.It blends well and looks like it's part of the camera, but makes it less functional for me. I've give it a few weeks and see if I can adjust.

I normally do not write any review one day after I get it. I like to use it for a while to make sure I form a solid opinion before writing any review. After using SmallRig X-T50 hardgrip for one shooting session, I love it so much that I want to write this review immediately.1) Fit and finish: Perfect. It fits X-T50 like glove. The handle is soft to touch and easy to hold. Once I install it, no gaps can be found anywhere. The color matches my Charcoal X-T50 perfectly. It feels like an OEM product sold by Fujifilm2) Performance: While I like the size of X-T50, once I mount a bigger lens, it becomes very unbalanced. My Sony A7IV is bigger and heavier, but I can easier use it for an entire shooting session. I just could not do it with my X-T50. Now with this SmallRig handgrip, I no longer have this issue. In fact, I had a shooting session last night, I used my X-T50 exclusively for a 4-hour session.3) Weight: This handgrip is super lightweight. To me, the camera actually feels lighter with this handgrip because it feels more secure in my hand.4) Bonus: I can't image many X-T50 users would carry a tripod or monopod with them. But if they do, they can mount it to their tripod or monopod easily without taking off the handgrip. If you need to take it off, the mini coin like screwdriver is right there for me to use to unmount the grip.Overall, I can't recommend this enough. It feels like my X-T50 got an major upgrade. I absolutely love this handgrip!! 6-Star!

the grip gives me just the right amount of extra area to grip the camera comfortably

I have bought camera bottom plates from RRS and Acratech but this is the best one I've ever had. It fits the Fuji like it was OEM both in fit and color match. The rubber over the grip feels just like the camera and gives a great handhold. SmallRig is my new go to for Accesories

I have mixed feelings about this plate, more specifically the grip part. The plate itself is beautifully made and works as intended, no issues there. The integrated magnetic tool is nice and the bonus soft shutter release and hot shoe cover are a nice touch.My only issue is that the grip is somewhat unusable with larger lenses.I really like my XT-50, which I picked in large part for its smaller size. I prefer modestly sized lenses but every now and then, I need to put a larger lens on it. The diameter of these lenses and the shape of the small rig grip make the combo hard to use, which is somewhat ironic as the additional grip would be handy (pun intended) with larger and heavier lenses. I feel like a different design of the grip would’ve allowed for a little more space for my fingers to fit.By the way, I don’t think I have large hands, I’d call them average size.The two photos show the combo with the Fujifilm 16-80mm f/4 and the Viltrox 85mm f/1.8.
