In cameras, the USB port is used only to charge the battery.
In fact, yes. A battery in an XT2 seems to be the S version of a battery in an XT1. The heat dissipation has been improved. Although the batteries have different sizes and specs, their physical characteristics are exactly the same.

You need to have this for your A long shooter who is going out in a 2 shooter vehicle. Despite the fact that the camera is bulkier than a Canon EOS 7D Mk II, it is still far away from being the size of one. It is not cheap but it is on par with other Fujifilm accessories and is extremely well built. If such an accessory is of good quality and, I hope, has a long lifespan, I'm willing to pay more. As soon as the camera is fitted, it handles well and the balance is still intact. I appreciate the possibility to take additional shots using the extra power boost mode and extra shots. Even without using power boost mode, I was able to take more than 1000 pictures and have plenty of battery life remaining. I'd say that I took at least 1200 or so pictures in all. The vertical mode is obviously easier to use. As someone who has trouble getting a horizontal horizon in vertical mode (having to correct it in LR every time) this made the task much easier since the hold is much more natural* * If you are serious about XT-70 - you should consider this very highly. This is a 2-player game.
I take it everywhere I go and it's fun to use Fuji captivated me as a professional photographer who has owned far too many cameras to keep track of because of their highly functional designs and well thought out features. Cameras for image makers are made by them. The ability to improve the performance of a camera (both still and video) on a camera that is already capable is a valuable addition to Despite being well made, and giving performance and features where they are needed most
Instead of 5 stars, I took one away from the There is a surprising amount of weight in this grip. Not only was the discrete, functional form of the Fuji system more appealing to me than my previous DSLRs, but also how light it is to use if one has a full kit. I cannot imagine going back to the days of being a camera mule after pulling so many heavier systems for so many years. The addition of the grip makes the camera handle in a way that is almost like a DSLR. Despite Fuji's glass's lighter weight, it is still more expensive than those made by full-frame manufacturers It feels more like a DSLR camera than a mirrorless camera when the xt2 with booster is used. While the grip isn't a deal breaker for certain assignments, when it comes to light, documentary travel work, this grip may not be the best choice.
You will want to (need to) use the vertical battery grip if you are an enthusiast or professional photographer. There are many features that make this grip useful, including an auxiliary charge port for the battery, extended shooting time, and On a camera in portrait mode, all the buttons are on the right side and easy to reach. In a slide out tray are located two NP 126 batteries. The switch between normal and boost mode can be found at the back of the unit By using boost mode, the continuous frame rate can be increased and the video recording time extended. The grip increases the weight of the camera about an ounce and increases its depth a little over an inch. All I ask for is that the camera and grip connectors come with removable caps that are easy to lose (no sliding doors, please). For a long day of shooting, this is a must-have.
Adds a lot of versatility to the XT The battery grips Fuji has added have some great features, that I don't often use. Some of these features include I am
. The recording time for 4K video has been increased from ten minutes to thirty (instead of ten)* - A toggle to switch between the burst and normal modes can be found on the body* - By increasing the FPS rate to 11 fps, the camera will match the speed of Nikon and Canon's flagship DSLRs* - Plugging the unit into the wall allows it to recharge the battery (instead of the battery charger). Please note
It can be easier to hold a camera if you have big hands. Please note
With the grip, Fuji's first camera that produces decent video is made even better. Thanks to the audio monitoring port, it can take Fuji's first capable camera for creating decent video and make it even better. I am happy to have added this Fuji camera to my arsenal of gadgets. Although, it does add quite a bit of weight to the camera, but I suppose that's to be expected.
I am glad I picked up this Fuji camera.
This is just one of the best things I have ever seen. I wish it could be considerably cheaper though. There's no doubt it adds weight and bulk that makes the small-sized vehicle difficult to maneuver It would be great if X- could be incorporated It is roughly the same size as my D810, but it is still like that it can hold up to 2 extra batteries (which can be recharged without having to remove them from the camera) and that you can shoot 4K videos for a long time. But is it worth the cost? For me, that was a close call. I would consider that a no-brainer if it cost $250.
If you have large hands and own the XT2, this is an absolute must-have for those who own it. Boost mode on the camera is nice but I won't use it because my batteries last a long time and I have two in this and a third in my body. The photography time will be greatly increased. It is typical of Fuji products to have a high level of build quality- A phenomenal performance! Having the weight adds a nice weight to the small design, as that was one of my priorities. There is an adapter that comes with it to charge both batteries in the grip, but not the third battery in the body of the camera. It's just something you need to be aware of. As batteries drain one at a time, power switches seamlessly to the next one once that one has been used up. You did a great job.
I am impressed with the quality of the Fuji film. It is a bit heavier, but it is worth it for the benefits it provides. XT1 batteries should not be used together since this will cause it to overheat during the boost I like these and now always have them on my XT2 all the time. Almost don't feel the extra weight anymore after using them for several months. Adding the benefits to the camera just makes it more robust!.
