Good video I have looked at many of these I have always had battery grips for my Fuji Cameras I was a but disappointed that my XT5 did not have one. I decided not to get a grip, I shoot sports with 100-400, 70-300, 50-140 all big lenses with no issues I do need something for that feel Thanks I will try that haoge I did not care for the small rig that I tested

The problem I encounter is after using a capture card my camera monitor is disabled and can't use manual mode to adjust my camera exposure

Thanks Jackie!! This is an awesome, low-cost solution! And great insight into the opp and gear needed! 🙌🏼

IT'S fixed now 🙌 🤗 yessss

Thank you for a thorough review. I already had the original Fuji grip for my black X-T5 and a silver grip from YU WOOD in China. After seing your video I ordered two Haoge grips from China on Bay, and you are right, the Haoge gives a more positive grip and it is noticeably lighter than the original Fuji, being less massive. Since these grips will be permanently mounted on the cameras, I do not want to add too much weight.

I watched your first video. Thanks for the updated version. My capture card is also very inexpensive and will finally be able to start using it.

thanks. You just save me a bunch. I had an inexpensive video capture, necessary cables, and iPad. I was looking to buy some device that I don't need. thank you , thank you, thank you!!!!

Thank you for sharing.. your explanation is SUPERB!

I just bought this monitor..It now has the upgraded firmware

Hi Jackie. Thanks for this video. I just wanted to say that I have this lens and for me it is.....fantastic! I will never sell it. I am thinking of adding the "old" 23mm f1.4. For now the X-T3 is enough for me. Greetings from Italy. Merry Christmas and happy holidays.

does it have touch tracking in video mode??

That’s a great price! I was considering the 16-50mm, but here in Spain, it’s quite expensive. This is an informative video, not only a great test for focus breathing but also an excellent demonstration of autofocus performance!

Very helpful, thanks.

Thank you for these extensive real-world tests! The 16-50 seems to show considerably less stepping in focus transitions than the other lenses. Still worse than other camera systems, but in the Fujifilm world much better than usual. This, the internal zooming, weather resistance, 16 mm and good close-up magnification at 50 mm are very welcome changes and make for a very versatile standard zoom lens. The biggest weakness in my opinion is the strong chromatic aberration at 16 mm. To me it feels more like a more luxurious follow-up to the old XC 16-50. I think they've done a good job with the new kit lens. Have fun with it :)! About the autofocus issues I wish Fujifilm was a little more talkative about the actual cause of the erratic behaviour (algorithms, limited processing ressources, mount and lens design limitations, ...) and their plans to address it. As a hobbyist I am okay with accepting flaws and finding workarounds, but for more professional users it would be helpful to have some long-term perspective.

Can we shoot 4k 100 fps on this

Still like the tan or do you wish you would have gotten black?

Hi Jackie ...my contract for my Apple 14 Pro Max is about to end and they have offered a trade in for the Apple 16, but I'm going to stick with this phone for at least 2 more years. I don't use phones for photography or videos as I have decent cameras to do that job. I just use the phone as a phone and for social media etc. The Apple 14 Pro Max is a great phone and I feel it has a good 2 more years life left in it. 😁

It’s disappointing to see Fujifilm in the situation they’re currently facing, but that alone isn’t a reason to switch systems. After all, they’re not the only brand to have faced significant issues in the past. What’s particularly frustrating is their apparent unwillingness to listen to feedback from the people who actually use their cameras extensively.

16:53 - the movie you're talking about is probably "Batteries not included" (1987)?

Great review! I’ve watched several and none come close to being as informative and dare I say….entertaining….as your’s. 💜💜 I’m ordering one right now and will grab that PDF too. Thank you!

Just ordered my Clever Bag, after I saw their Black Friday 25% sale, so glad to hear your supportive review!

Will this also work with an Ipad 2020 Lightning adapter? I would really appreciate your response. Thank you!

Great video, thank you !

Can i do this on the XT4?

Agreed It was the Nikon D700 back in 2008 or 9 that convinced me to change from film to digital, bought a few lenses and now I'm invested. Nikon has been the ugly duckling of cameras for a long time since then, but they were fine for my use so I stayed put. Too expensive to change systems.

I have the Zugu case for my 12.9” pro love it the ESR case looks nice to thanks good video

I have had different cameras. My first serious camera was a Sony NEX 5. Afterwards I had a Fuji X70, a Sony Rx100, a Sony A6300, a Sony A7, a Fuji XT200 (very good camera), then a Fuji XS10 (impressive) and at the same time an Olympus EP7 with several lenses. I sold the XS10 and EP7 with their lenses to buy a Fujifilm XT5, and I couldn't be happier, it's the best camera I've ever owned. I don't need ultra-fast autofocus because my photography is calm. Right now I'm planning to buy the XF23 F1.4 LR WR and in the future, buy an X-M5 so I can carry it in my pocket. For me, Fujis have something, I don't know what it is, but I like them a lot.

I agree with you. I downloaded the latest firmware for my X-H2 and X-H2s today, and the AF is improved. It is not at Canon or Sony level, but it is good enough. I love Fuji's colors!

SmallRig looks better, has better build and is cheaper than the Fuji!

Came here directly after Pt-1, great follow up video. Hoping to get this all to work for me soon. ✌🏼

I’ve watched several videos before this as I’m trying to set up an external monitor for shooting wildlife down close to the ground, and the onboard screen on my Canon 5D Mk-iv is fixed into the body (doesn’t tilt up). I’ve found a way to mount the iPad Pro 12.9 to the tripod but wasn’t able to get this app to work, but I think I’ll keep trying since now I know it should. Thanks for putting together a very clear, concise video on how to do this, much better than the super technical videos I’ve seen prior. I’ll definitely be checking out some of your other videos. 😉

I had recently the Haoge grip and the tool was included. It is really a good one. thank you for this comparison.

I went a different route and purchased the plate and L bracket from RRS, whose plates I have used for years. Despite the cost, my reasons were: 1. because I use a tripod on many occasions, both for vertical and horizontal images, as well as a Black Rapid strap with plate attaching clamp to transport camera and lens (often the 80mm macro or 70-300), I wanted a very substantial well-made plate to support my $2,500+ worth of equipment; 2. the grip on the plate is substantial and fits my hand very comfortably; 3. the adjustable/removable L bracket provides substantial left hand support when steady hands are essential to creating a sharp image. This set-up worked perfectly during a trip to SE Asia earlier this year. This may not be for everyone but meets my needs very well.

I got the smallrig L bracket it helps with my left hand covering the camera speaker and it feels bigger

I use an old nikon d800. And it does everything i need. If it didnt focus to my needs, i would dump it in a second. But u do u.

Good on ya, Judy. I have been shooting professionally since 1980 and have been with only two systems Canon and later (2016) Fuji. Around 2015, I began to scale my pro shooting as I was burning out (former news photog) and honestly, getting sick of carrying around heavy 1D and 5D rigs and associated heavier glass. Someone handed me an X-E2s, and I was hooked. By ’17’ I was full-on Fujis, acquiring 3 additional rigs and selling my Canon gear (though I did keep one F1AE for sentimental reasons and a 50 1.2FD). That said, like many, I have been frustrated with the happenings (or lack thereof) with Fuji. Seems like they allowed all of that early praise and all of the accolades to go straight to their heads, losing focus of what made them great, to begin with. Either that or a Sony “Sleeper Cell’ has infiltrated the upper echelons of Fuji’s management😏. My first beef with Fuji was with the X-T5 and the lack of a battery booster (which still hacks me off), at that time Fuji’s AF was slowly improving, of course, this was before the two disastrous firmware releases. So, to cut to the chase, you and I share many of the same views on Fuji, despite the Fuji-Hatin’ UA-camr bandwagon rolling around looking for more riders, I am not interested in hopping on. If I were to return to Photojournalism (I would have been starving or just nuts for doing so🤪), I would keep my Fuji system, but pick up some used Canon rigs (probably not the RF as I am not at all familiar with that system) and glass. I shot an airshow (one of my specialties) with the X-T5 and X-T3 as well as an X-Pro 3 for more behind-the-scenes, editorial shots. Honestly, I was not expecting to get an 80% hit rate on the ‘5’, the X-T3 did somewhat better with a 90….maybe the Fuji Gods were smiling at me that day, or this was not a client shoot and I was out there on my dime, who knows. Bottomline I am glad to see a UA-camr not jumping on this bandwagon.

I bought the Small Rig before watching this video based on previous purchases. When I put it on, it felt natural in my hands. My hands are med/larg e and it was a great feel. One of the best small $$ investment I made.

Just wanted to thank you for your tips I’m getting the sx20 and wasn’t really sure what else to get for it.

Can you preview the photos taken on the tablet at 10:04min or do you need software for it to work.

I personally decided to switch from Nikon to Fujifilm month ago. I read a lot about AF and firmware problems. Initially i want to buy x-t5 but finally bought x-h1 with already installed latest firmware. And I have no word to describe how I'm happy with this camera!

We work semi-professional with Fujifilm gear. Personally I am realy satisfied with my XT-4 and has no big issues with automatic focus. I’m realy satisfied with the camera design, the fantastic lenses and the Fujifilm colors straight out of camera. I realy hope Fujifilm will announce their firmware policy to their clients as we are. Silence will not help their business.

I saw an ad that asked: "What do you use to clean your teeth in hard-to-reach places?" The humorous reply was: "I don't have teeth in hard-to-reach places!" I’ve been using the Fujifilm XT5 with the latest firmware, and I’ve had no issues with autofocus so far. That’s probably because I rarely, if ever, use the tracking autofocus feature, which I imagine could be more prone to challenges in certain situations.

If you want Reala Ace, Cobalt Image has your back.

The firmware ids shameful nevertheless, I'm good with my XT4 but sometimes....

I'm a freelance photographer and have downgraded my X-T5 twice to V2.10 already. After v3.01 and v4.00. In terms of quality, it's all I need at this point. Clients are happy (events, weddings, portraits, sometimes commercial work). AF is fine for slow paced work most of the time. I almost exclusively use AF-C and can make everything happen with using FN shortcuts on the fly in case it misbehaves. For moving subjects, I simply started to overshoot heavily until I get the results I need. At this point I can't justify switching systems due to costs. Time will tell and others systems have their own flaws. That said, there's MUCH room for improvement with the AF and I really hope they not only bring it back to the level it was before, but actually surpass it. I don't have Sony level expectations, but making it reliable is all I'm asking! It just often behaves differently in similar non taxing situations, which doesn't make any sense. Yes, it is still better when you compare its capabilities to previous gen models like the X-T3 for example, but at the same time the X-T3 was reliable in its performance (I still use it as a second body for events). There is definitely a problem with Fuji AF which goes beyond the usual "it has always been behind the competition" apologists and it's good that we have users and UA-camrs finally constantly addressing the shortcomings. Nothing will change without criticism.

what about the time of exposition ?

If you use LrC you still have Reala Ace if you shoot RAW. It’s in mine when I open old XT5 files and I never had that film sim on my camera.

Nice video Jac. I didn't buy Fujifilm for autofocus. But I'm not a pro either. Love all the Fujifilm cameras I've had, have and will own in future. Let's not be too hasty to jump ship. To new Fujifilm horizons🎉

I swapped from Fujifilm to Sony after the firmware v4 for my XT5 stopped auto focus working completely, my camera was rendered useless. I didn’t want to move from Fujifilm, I had a lot of money invested but my camera was useless. I am very disappointed and feel let down by Fujifilm. I moved to Sony in June, it’s now mid November and still no solution to the disaster that is V4 firmware that would have left me with a camera that is still unusable after seven months

The autofocus was good on release so obviously they messed something up and can reverse that. if they can't manage that, then they are doomed as a company. my guess is the next version will be better
