Best Batteries
Although the Fujifilm shares a lot of the same accessories as the X-T4, it still keeps the same older battery that they’ve been using for a few years, the NP-W126s.
Fujifilm NP-W126S
This is the official Fujifilm X-T3 battery. It has a power rating of 1260mAh and has a CIPA rating of 390 shots in the Fujifilm X-T3.

Wasabi (2-Pack) 1450mAh
Wasabi has upgraded its NP 126 batteries to match the specs of the newest Fujifilm batteries. Wasabi is a California based company that uses the best Japanese cells. They are the best third-party battery maker with the best reputation. This kit doesn’t come with a charger. You can get a wasabi charger for super cheap, but I recommend you always charge your batteries with the official Fujifilm charger or battery grip if you can. |
Fujifilm X-S10 Memory Cards
The Fujifilm X-S10 is capable of outputting 200Mbps 4k video with a 20fps electronic shutter. Because of the capabilities of this camera, buying memory cards can get complicated or expensive so I’ve put together a memory card guide to help you find the best memory cards so you don’t buy more than you need. There is also some good information on how you can avoid counterfeit cards.

Best Case Fujifilm X-S10
If you’re looking for some nice cases or bags for the X-S10 and the gear that goes along with it, I have nice recommendation that have been invaluable to me.
ThinkTank Mirrorless Mover BagsAvailable At: Amazon / Adorama / B&H I have these in several sizes and I use them constantly for not only packing my camera, but lenses, or accessories. Sometimes I’ll take just a smaller bag and push my camera lens into it while mounted to the camera and throw it into my backpack. In the mirrorless mover 5, you’ll likely only be able to fit the camera with no lens. The 5 is better used for just accessories and lenses. You’ll really need the 10 or 20 sizes if you want it to be a good case for the Fujifilm X-S10. I really like these bags and use them so much for all sorts of storage, packing, or even carrying my cameras. |
Video Accessories
On-Camera Mics
Rode Video Mic Pro
This is what I use. It’s good and useful since it can provide the camera with a hot signal to get past any preamp issues. There were a few on the X-T3, so I would assume the X-S10 might have some as well. On the X-T3 we would experience this chirping sound with quiet recordings, so running a powered mic would eliminate this. They also have a VideoMicPro+ edition too. It has a few nice power features and some design upgrades with a touch of better sounds. |
Rode VideoMic NTG Hybrid AnalogThis is a fantastic mic because it also works as a USB mic. There are tons of features like self-powering on and off, volume control, it can record one of the stereo channels at a lower db as a backup for any clipping and it has a clipping light for monitoring without a headphone jack. This might also be a great option for use with a Ninja V to push the mic away from the recorder to reduce the fan noise. You pretty much will want that recorder as far behind the mic as possible. |
Rode VideoMicro Compact
This is the little do-it-all mic I throw in my bag and it’s good enough for any situation. Great backup mic or on the go mic and the price is very affordable. This is also nice if you have a smaller camera like a GoPro or something that takes a mic. I also use this mic a lot too. You will get a bit more pre-amp noise compared to the above mics but it’s really not that bad, especially if you’re mixing. I just really like it for its size. When indoors I take off the windscreen and it’s so compact. I also use this on my GoPro Hero 9 with the media mod since you can mount it to the side. |
Rode Wireless Go
This is what Alex and I use when making videos on his Youtube channel. It’s very good. One of the best simplest wireless setups I’ve ever used and the quality is good. If you are using an external recorder like the Ninja V that generates sound noise, you can also use these with one of the above mics to move the mic to a different location and still record audio to your camera or an external recorder. You can use your own mic or just get their kit. |
Best Fujifilm X-S10 Accessories Conclusion
The X-S10 is still a new camera and as more and more accessories come online I’ll try to update it with all the latest gear. With the camera industry suffering right now, many third-party accessory companies just aren’t making as many accessories as they had in the past and some even closed their doors.
