The Fujifilm X-Pro3 is a bit of an older camera now, so some third-party accessories are no longer available. But here is the updated list of all the accessories I’m still using on my Fujifilm cameras and that work on the Fujifilm X-Pro 3.
Best Accessories Fujifilm X-Pro 3 | The Essentials
Best Screen Protector Fuji X-Pro3
There are a million brands of screen protectors out there today, but my favorite is by ExpertShield. They give you a lifetime warranty, and their screens come in a few different styles, so you can pick and choose what you need.
Expert Shield Screen Protector
Expert Shield screen protectors come in three styles: Crystal Clear, Glass, and Anti-Glare. Crystal Clear is a thin screen protector that offers basic protection, while glass is much thicker and better protects the screen from dings and scratches. Anti-Glare eliminates most reflections but will reduce the display quality a little. Do you need a screen protector for the X-Pro3? Maybe not, but at least a Crystal Clear Protector might still be a good idea. If you have a problem with these, just contact Expert Shield, and they will send you replacements. |
Best Batteries Fujifilm X-Pro 3
You will need multiple batteries for the X-Pro3. If you plan on shooting all day, you’ll likely need two or three, depending on how good you are at turning off your camera between shots. I mostly use official Fujifilm batteries since I often shoot with the X-T3 and the vertical grip, but third-party batteries have never given me any issues in my X-Pro2.
Official Fujifilm Batteries NP-W126S
These are Fujifilm’s official batteries. They changed them a few years ago to favor a better discharge profile, so you will probably get better performance and less heat out of these new batteries than the older ones. |

Best Third-Party NP-W126SÂ Batteries Wasabi
These are the latest Wasabi NP-W126S batteries for the Fujifilm system. Wasabi is one of the best third-party battery brands for Fujifilm. I’ve used them for years, and their batteries have always been reliable. They are also very affordable. However, this doesn’t come with a charger. You can buy one separately, but for best results, use the Fujifilm official charger that comes with your camera. I usually charge my batteries in my X-T3 vertical grip. If you have one, it makes a great dual-battery charger. |
Best Memory Cards Fujifilm X-Pro3
I haven’t tested the memory cards in the X-Pro3 yet, but the camera is very similar to the X-T3, so you can use that guide to find the memory cards.

Fujifilm X-Pro 3 Cases & Grips
There are many cool ways to customize the X-Pro3 to make it your own. I’ll list all the best grips and cases out there. Lensmate no longer makes their thumb grip for the Fujifilm X-Pro3, so if you’re new to this camera, you’ll need to get one of the generic ones off Amazon.
Lensmate Soft Shutter Release
I still love the Lensmate soft shutters the most. I’ve tried several brands, and they all always just fall off. Lensmate adds a little rubber washer to their soft shutters to keep them from vibrating loose. Of the years I’ve been using these on all my different Fujifilm cameras, I’ve only lost one. So just make sure you check that they are always tight. They have many different designs and colors, so I linked you to their main search page. So ensure you get the Lensmate soft shutter and not some ghetto brand.

Other brands have finally embraced the superior design of the Lensmate soft shutter releases and have started including the rubber washer that keeps it from vibrating loose.
QiangNi Soft Shutter
With this Soft Shutter, you get a 2-pack, and they are still cheaper than the Lensmate soft shutters. The design is simple and clean. These are likely now mass-produced out of China and you can find them under several different company names. |
Foto&Tech Soft Shutter
Even Foto&Tech has started including the rubber washer on their soft shutters. These work well enough for the price and they offer a lot of simple designs to choose from. So you can experiment to see if you like the concave or convex design. It’s a very different feel. |
VKO Wood Soft Shutter
VKO has a few nice wood soft shutter designs. Mix and match these with your other accessories to stylize your camera. Two styles are available: concave or convex, in several different colors. These also include the rubber washer. |
Fujifilm X-Pro 3 Cases
There are a few great options for leather cases and half cases for the Fujifilm X-Pro 3. I can recommend the cases I’ve used on my various cameras.
Gariz X-Pro 3 Leather Half Case
Gariz has a pretty genuine leather half-case for the X-Pro 3. I use the Kaza-Deluxe cases on my X-Pro 2 camera, but I have also used the Gariz cases on my X100 bodies before, and they are nice. The advantage you get with this case is the aluminum bottom. It extends the grip and gives the camera a more rigid base for nice support when on a tripod. |
Kaza-Deluxe Leather Case X-Pro3
The cases I’ve been using lately are from Kaza Deluxe. They have the best for the price, have a more handmade feel, and use much better materials. You can also get these bundled with a strap. I highly recommend them. |

Fujifilm X-Pro 3 Cleaning Essentials
Cleaning accessories are essentials that every photographer should not overlook. Here are a few essentials.
But if you want to nerd out on cleaning gear, check out this guide to camera cleaning accessories.
Rocket Air Blaster
There are many different styles of air blasters, but I’ve been using Rocket Air. I like the fins on the back that allow you to stand the blaster upright. I think the medium size is the best for APS-C mirrorless cameras, but the small ones are also good if you like to carry one in your bag. |

Micro-Fiber Cleaning Cloths 6-Pack
Microfiber cleaning cloths are the best way to clean your camera and lenses. I find my T-shirt works fine for wiping off my lenses, UV filters, or LCD screen when out and about, but every so often, I like to give my gear a good cleaning, and the only way to do that effectively is with microfiber. Here is a cool six-pack. |
Sensor Brush
Many people will scare you with the dangers of cleaning your sensor and recommend terrible products. You don’t need much to clean your sensor, and as long as you haven’t touched it or gotten oil on it, a sensor brush is all you ever need to get annoying dust or debris off. Keep these sensor brushes in their bag and blast them a few times with the rocket air above before applying them to your sensor. They work so well. Don’t mess with the wet method or those sticky gel sticks. |

Thanks for the recommendation, Alik! I ended up buying the screen protector and Kaza cases, too. Here’s a video I made for anyone who’s interested in the Kaza case:

Awesome! That’s what I use for my X-Pro2 still. They are my favorite. Let me know how you like it on the X-Pro3. It will be awhile before I can get one.
Oh wait. lol, never mind, this video is your video.. Thanks for sharing. 🙂
Haha yes it’s mine! I LOVE it. If I get the X100V, though—I may end up letting mine go 🙂
