The Fujifilm X-T3 is available for order, and it looks like it has been launched with quite a few accessories. This is a list of all the best accessories for the Fuji X-T3.

Best Screen Protectors For The Fujifilm X-T3
ExpertShield makes my favorite screen protectors, and they are the brand I use on almost every camera. They honor and honor a lifetime warranty, and their customer service is very good and quick. I highly recommend these.
They offer three types: Crystal Clear, Anti-Glare, and Glass.
Crystal Clear is what you’re used to. Anti-glare is similar to crystal clear in terms of thickness but doesn’t glare. However, it will reduce the LCD output quality. The glass is thicker, and these last the longest, in my experience.

Best Batteries Fuji X-T3
The Fujifilm XT3 takes the same batteries as the XT2, but because of the more efficient quad processor in the XT3, we will see a 15% improvement in battery life. Some are happy with this; some are not. Either way, you can get three batteries total with a vertical grip if you need more battery life.
Here are the best Fujifilm X-T3 Batteries.
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 BC-W126s Battery Charger
Available at: Amazon / Adorama / BHphoto There is a new charger for the Fujifilm X-T3 and the NP-W126S batteries – the BC-W126s. This new charger has a built-in wall plug adapter, so you can plug it directly into the wall—no more cables. If you like the cable and need another battery charger, the old BC-W126 charger still works fine. |

Fujifilm X-T3 Vertical Grip
Available At: Amazon Fujifilm has done something fantastic with its battery configuration in the XT3. They use a medium-sized battery to keep the cameras compact, but those needing more power can get a vertical grip that allows them to use three batteries simultaneously. When the vertical grip is not equipped with the camera, it can be used as a dual battery charger. The AC wall adapter can charge two batteries in two hours. I love the grip, but it’s not for everyone and is rather expensive. If you find the grip and camera with two batteries too heavy, you can remove the battery in the camera and just run with the two batteries in the grip, and everything will work fine. The Fujifilm X-T2 battery grip will not work on the X-T3. |
Recommended Memory Cards
The Fujifilm X-T3 had some firmware issues that caused some memory card problems at launch. These have mostly been cleared up, and you don’t have to be as picky about which cards you buy.
See the guide: Best SD Memory Cards Fujifilm X-T3. For all the in-camera speed comparisons.
Here are the top brands of memory cards for the Fujifilm X-T3 right now.
|
Sandisk Extreme Pro UHS-II
Available At: Amazon Sandisk Extreme Pro is the best card for Fujifilm cameras. It has no issues, and I’ve never heard of any lockups with it. |
|
Sony G Tough UHS-II
Believe it or not, Sony has put out nice memory cards, which work great with Fujifilm cameras. |

Fuji X-T3 Hand Grip – MetalAvailable at: Amazon For those with larger hands who want more grip on the Fujifilm X-T3 without buying a leather case or the vertical grip, the metal hand grip by Fujifilm is very nice and very high quality. It’s all metal, though, so it will add some extra weight to the camera. I had one for my X-Pro2, which I used for a while, and it gives you something to hold onto. |
Fujifilm X-T3 Leather Half CaseAvailable at: Amazon / Adorama These are nice leather cases by Fujifilm. I’m really happy they went back to the red velvet interior lining. It adds a nice flare in the spots where you can see it. |
Kaza-Deluxe | Leather
If you want a more handcrafted leather-feeling case, then I highly recommend Kaza-Deluxe. This is what I use on my X-Pro and X100 cameras. The style of these is cool, and they use nice leather. You can also get them bundled with a decent leather strap or carrying case. |
Available At:
XT3 Shutter Button / Thumb Grips
I would consider getting a soft shutter release for your X-T2. They are a lot of fun.
I’ve had the 10mm Neewer and the Lensmate. Although I like the Lensmate more, both are great for a few reasons. They help you find your shutter button when you’re looking through the EVF and make pressing it a little easier.
Lensmate Soft Shutters
The Lensmate Soft Shutters are the best, and I use them on all my Fujifilm cameras. These have a rubber washer that, when tightened, helps keep the shutter from vibrating loose. |
Fujifilm X-T3 Thumb RestAvailable at: Amazon Lensmate makes the best thumb grips for any camera. I’ve owned a few of these, and the quality and precision are amazing. The older X-T2 thumb grip does work on the X-T3, but it will say T2 on top, and it won’t rest perfectly against the body. They have released a new thumb rest for the X-T3, and it’s currently available only on their online store. I usually don’t use the thumb rest on the X-T series of cameras, but I needed it because they changed the shape of the vertical grip. If you have trouble holding the camera comfortably with the vertical grip attached, the thumb grip helps, but it makes accessing the rear command dial a little more difficult.

Cleaning Supplies
These are the basic cleaning accessories that I carry with me when I travel. If you want more clean accessories check out my full guide.
(6 Pack) MagicFiber® Premium Microfiber Cleaning Cloths
Available at: Amazon Microfiber cleaning cloths are one of those must-have accessories. While my t-shirt usually works fine for cleaning off a UV filter or an LCD screen, every so often, I’ll need to sit down and give my gear and lenses a serious cleaning, and nothing is better or safer on your glass or screens than a microfiber cloth. After a while, these microfiber cloths will accumulate oil from cleaning your lenses or rear screens, smudging film around the lens. This is why having multiple cleaning cloths is a must, and the 6-pack is very nice. |
Rocket Air Blasters
Available at: Small – Amazon / Medium – Amazon Rocket Air Blasters are my favorite cleaning blasters because the fins at the base allow you to sit them upright like a rocket. They also come in various sizes. These are an absolute must-have for cleaning dust off the sensor and lens elements. Make sure you always do a few blasts to clean the debris out of the Air Blaster before blowing it on your sensor, especially if you have kids or pets. The images here are of some of the older blasters. I’ve gone through many of these. On the left is the large one, and on the right is the medium. Large is probably overkill for mirrorless cameras, but the medium and small sizes are great. When using the air blaster to clean your sensor, please be careful not to touch it against your sensor. Keep it far enough away so there is no risk. |
Fujifilm X-T3 Sensor Cleaning
There is so much crazy information online from different people telling you insane or overly complicated methods for cleaning your sensor. You’re not going to get oil on your sensor, mud, tar, tree sap, or whatever, so you almost will never need to use the wet method to clean it.
I once had to use the wet method to clean my sensor because I tried to blow dust off it and got spit on it. This was a long time ago. Pro tip: Don’t do that.
You need only a sensor brush to remove even the most stubborn dust from your sensor.
Sensor Brush APS-C
Available at: Amazon The Sensor Brush is another must-have accessory for cleaning your sensor. Occasionally, dust will build up on your sensor and not come off with the rocket air blaster, so the sensor cleaning brush is the best way to deal with it. Sensor Brushes are the best way to remove dust from your sensor. If you can’t use an air blaster, try one before any other trick. I like The Dust Patrol’s cleaning brushes. They are made in Germany from very high-quality bristol with a wooden handle. Even if you don’t need a brush right now, it’s always nice to have one. I usually only use one of these a few times a year.
The Sensor brush kit comes with a few little spongy Q-Tips. Don’t use those on your sensor, but you can use those to clean in and around the mirror box. If you take care of your sensor brush, it should last a lifetime. Never touch the bristles, and always give them a few blasts with the Rocket Air Blaster before using them to clean off debris. Always keep your sensor brush in its plastic bag inside the storage tube when unused. Several sizes of sensor brushes are available. I bought the brush designed for full-frame cameras, which also works on APS-C cameras by brushing the sensor vertically instead of horizontally. |
Best Flash For Fujifilm XT3
I’m only going to recommend one flash. The Godox TT685F. If you want to see all the best flashes check out the Fujifilm X-T2 accessories page. There is a nice list going there.
The Goddox TT685F is a great flash. It does everything you could ever need and is a really good value.
Godox TT685F
Available at: Amazon The Godox TT685F is a TTL flash that is, without a doubt, the best bang for the buck Speedlite for Fujifilm. This is also the only unit with +- 5-stop of exposure comp with HSS. The build quality is good, but the instruction manual sucks. The only problem I’ve experienced with this flash is it’s a little difficult to press into the camera’s hot shoe. |
Godox X2TF TransmitterAvailable at: Amazon / BHphoto The Godox X2TF Transmitter is for the Godox speedlights. It takes 2xAA batteries and has everything you need to get you started using your TT685F. Some complain that you need to be more than 3 feet away from the speedlight for consistent performance. I haven’t had issues yet. |

Fujifilm X-T3 Extra Accessories
Fujifilm X-T3 Eyecups
You probably didn’t know this, but Fujifilm makes many eyecups for different cameras or personal tastes.
The Fuji X-T3 has a medium-sized eyecup, but you can use the small cup from the X-T1 or the long eyecup from the Fujifilm X-H1. I switched to the small round eyecup for the X-T3 which was originally found on the X-T1.
Small Round EyecupAvailable At: Amazon The original X-T1 shipped with the Fujifilm small round eyecup. Fujifilm has since moved to medium-sized eyecups, but the small eyecups are still nice and useful for those who want a slimmer eyecup. |
Medium EyecupAvailable At: Amazon The Fujifilm medium eyecup is the replacement unit for the X-T2 or X-T3. |
Long EyecupAvailable At: Amazon The Fujifilm large eyecup is found on the X-H1. This eyecup allows your face and nose to sit further back from the screen, making you less likely to touch the screen with your face.
|
Wide EyecupAvailable At: Amazon The Fujifilm wide eyecup works great for those who want more protection from sunlight while looking through the EVF. I kept seeing people say the wide eyecup does not ‘click’ like the other. I found this to be completely not true. It clicks in, it’s just a little more difficult to get the wide eyecup to clip in. |
Must-Have Fujifilm X-T3 Accessories | Bottom Line
Fujifilm released the X-T3 with many great accessories already, including a nice leather case. Unfortunately, many great third-party manufacturers stop producing accessories when cameras get old like this one. I’ll keep up with what’s still available.
