Must-Have Accessories Fujifilm X-T4

  • December 9, 2020
  • AGriffin

The Fujifilm X-T4 has some big changes and with that comes some new accessories that you’ll likely need if upgrading from one of the older cameras. The main thing is the batteries and screens. 

Here is an ongoing list of some of the best accessories for the Fujifilm X-T4. Since it’s such a great camera for video shooters I’ll include some nice gear for audio as well.

Fujifilm X-T4 – Amazon / Adorama / BHphoto

 

Fujifilm X-T4 Best Accessories | Essentials

 

Best Screen Protectors Fujifilm X-T4

Best Screen Protector Fuji X-T4Expert Shield Screen Protectors

Available At: Amazon

I always use the Expert Shield screen protectors for my cameras simply because they are a very reliable brand and they offer a few products. This allows me to just buy what I need without having to worry about it. They also offer a lifetime warranty. They offer Crystal Clear, Glass and Anti-Glare.

 

Best Batteries

The Fujifilm now uses an NP-W235 Battery. It will be a while before any third-party companies have them.

Official Fujifilm NP-W235 Battery

Fujifilm has put a totally new battery in the X-T4. There are no third-party batteries yet so if you need extras you will have to buy the Fujifilm batteries for now.

 

Best Third-Party Batteries

Wasabi NP-W235 Battery

Third-Party Battery Fujifilm X-T4Available At: Amazon

Wasabi is the best third-party battery for the Fujifilm X-T4. Still waiting to see if RavPower makes some batteries. In the meantime, Wasabi has been around a long time and have always made some of the best third-party batteries for cameras. Now their new NP-W235 battery is here.

 

 

Vertical Battery Grip

 

Fujifilm VG-XT4 Vertical Battery Grip

Fujifilm VG-XT4 Vertical Battery GripAvailable At: BHphotos

The vertical battery grips come with one battery. You can actually run the grip with just two batteries and leave the battery out of the camera if you want to. I do this often with my X-T3 to keep the weight down but if you need, you can run all three batteries and have a ton of power.

 

Best Memory Cards

Recommending memory cards for a camera like this is a pretty complicated thing and you can end up spending way more money than you need to if you’re not using the camera to it’s fullest potential. 

Check out my guide to memory cards for the X-T4. It should set you on the right track.

 

Body Accessories

These accessories will come over time. And I’ll update as third-party designers release their products.

 

Soft Shutter Release Buttons

Almost all the brands are now using the rubber washers on their soft shutters so you can’t really go wrong here. I’ll list a few different brands that come in at different prices. I use the Lensmate Soft Shutters personally, they are a cool little company out of Washington State and I definitely prefer supporting domestic brands whenever I can even if it means spending a few extra bucks. Plus their products are the best.

Lensmate Soft Shutter

Lensmate Soft ShutterAvailable At: Amazon

Lensmate has a few different options for soft shutter releases. You can use these on the X-T4 and I use them on all my X-series cameras that are compatible. These are the best but they are a little expensive.

 

QiangNi Soft Shutter

Soft Shutter X-T4Available At: Amazon

Other brands have finally caught on to the superior design of the Lensmate soft shutter releases and have started to include the rubber washer that keeps it from vibrating loose. 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

Available At: Amazon

Even Foto&Tech has started including the rubber washer on their soft shutters. I’ve used these before back before they had the rubber washer. They work well enough for the price and they offer a lot of simple designs.

 

VKO Wood Soft Shutter

Available At: Amazon

VKO has a few nice designs for their soft shutters in wood. You can mix and match these with your other accessories to really stylize your camera. They have two styles available as concave or convex in several different colors.

 

Best Case Fujifilm X-T4

If you’re looking for some nice cases or bags for the X-T4 and the gear that goes along with it, I have a few nice recommendations that have been invaluable to me.

ThinkTank Mirrorless Mover Bags

Best Case For the Fujifilm X-T4

Available 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-T4.

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

Fuji X-T4 MicAvailable At: Amazon

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-T4 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 Analog

Best Mic for Fujifilm X-T4Available At: Amazon / B&H

This 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 record as far behind the mic a possible.

 

Rode VideoMicro Compact

Available At: Amazon

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.

 

Rode Wireless Go

Fujifilm X-S10 Wireless MicAvailable At: Amazon

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.

You can use your own mic or just get their kit.

 

Cleaning Accessories

I have a whole article on cleaning accessories and there are a few that you absolutely should have no matter what that I will list here. If you want to see more accessories for wet cleaning, check out this guide to cleaning accessories here.

 

Micro-Fiber Cleaning Cloths 6-Pack

Available At: Amazon

I find that I can use my T-shirt when in the field to clean lenses or UV filters in quick situations. However, in the hot summer, this isn’t always an option. Also, when you need to do a really good cleaning of your UV filters or ND filters, your T-Shirt will always leave behind some lint, these will not. These are pretty much a must-have item. I buy new packs from time to time and keep them in my different bags.

 

Rocket Air Blaster

Available At: Amazon

There are many different brands of air blasters out there but I’ve always liked the Rocket air because you can stand them upright and they won’t roll away while your cleaning. Use these to clean UV filters, lenses, or your sensor. Also, use these to keep your lens caps clean. Don’t forget to clean the backs of your lens caps.

 

Sensor Brush

Available At: Amazon

Before you employ the wet method to clean your sensor, try one of these. 

Often times you’ll get little pieces of dust on your sensor that will not come off with air. Instead of using the wet method, the sensor brush might just do the trick and it’s super fast and easy.

Just make sure you keep the brush super clean. Keep it in its tube and in the bag, and hit the tips with the rocket air blaster for a bit to clear it of any particles.

The only time you need to really use the wet method is if there is oil or strange smudges on your sensor. Like if you accidentally touched it or got spit on it.

 

Best Accessories Fujifilm X-T4 Conclusions

There should be a lot more accessories to come. We’re still waiting for some more leather cases, camera cages and Lensmate should have a thumb grip eventually. 

I’ll continue to update this article with the new stuff as it rolls out.
