Asked by: Chris
A suitable option would be the Vello BG-F1 Battery Grip for Fujifilm X-T1, BH # VEBGF1. https://bhpho.to/3kITPhO

Will this work with the new XT-4?

Will this work with the new XT-4?
Asked by: Simon
The vertical power booster for the Fuji XT-2 and XT-4 BOTH have different model numbers so that would tell me the XT-2 power booster does not work on a newer camera the XT-4. It makes sense to me that they are not compatible.

question

Can this grip use the newer NP-W126S batteries or just the older NP-W126 batteries?
Asked by: Anonymous
It works well with older battery. However camera should have the upgraded battery. There is a slight speed difference with the in camera model as well as heat dispersion.

question

Does the Grip come with two batteries ?
Asked by: Anonymous
The grip does not include batteries, however, it does have battery-charging functionality. Using the AC adapter supplied (AC-9VS), you can fully charge two batteries at the same time in approx. 2 hours.

question

Does it further improve auto focus performance? or is it the same as in-camera boost mode?
Asked by: Rakesh G.
No, Sorry, the previous two answers are not correct. There are several very significant differences when you have the VPB attached. First, max frame is only 8 FPS without it, and with it you can get 11 or 14 FPS. Next, the EVF refresh rate goes up to 60fps without VPB, but jumps to 100 FPS when you use VPB. Also, the shutter release lag drops a bit, and VF blackout drops a bit as well, as does actual AF circuitry acquisition time (.06 sec versus .08). If you're doing action these are very noticeable changes.
