I've purchase several Vello products over the years, and have never been disappointed, and always amazed how well they're made and fit the intended camera body. After finding the right product on the Vello website, I use they're fast link to the B&H website for the perfect sale, always!

Better than the real Fuji Vertical grip, Heres why...

I bought the real FUJIFILM VERTICAL BATTERY GRIP X-T1 when I bought my Fuji X-T1 and I think I paid over $200 for it. After a few years it died. Internet search claims the problem is that a pin inside is bent. I was tempted to send it to Fujifilm for repair but past dealings with their repair department was a nightmare. And would probably cost me twice what I paid for the VELLO. I bought the Vello BG-F1 for about $59. Works great and priced right. Remember it only holds a second battery nothing else, no super technology, no moving parts. The VELLO is better than my Fuji Vertical Grip because the battery door closes and locks. A defect and constant problem in the original Fuji Grip made the battery door finicky and often it would not close, or lock and sometimes fly open. There are a number of videos online on how to fix the door problem with glue and tape, but its easier just to buy the VELLO.
