Must-Have Accessories Fujifilm X-T4

Expert 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 buy what I need without having to worry about it. They also offer a lifetime warranty. They offer Crystal Clear, Glass and Anti-Glare.

Official Fujifilm NP-W235 Battery

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

Wasabi NP-W235 Battery

Available 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.

Fujifilm VG-XT4 Vertical Battery Grip

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

Lensmate Soft Shutter

Available 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

Available 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 wood soft shutters. You can mix and match these with your other accessories to really stylize your camera. They have two styles available, concave or convex, in several different colors.

Think Tank Mirrorless Mover Bags

Available At: Amazon / Adorama / B&H

I have these in several sizes, and I use them constantly for packing my camera, lenses, and accessories. Sometimes, I’ll take a smaller bag, push my camera lens into it while mounted to the camera, and throw it into my backpack.

The mirrorless Mover 5 is likely only able to fit the camera without a lens. It is better used for accessories and lenses. You’ll need the 10 or 20 sizes if you want it to be a good case for the Fujifilm X-T4.

I like these bags and use them extensively for storage, packing, and even carrying my cameras.

Rode VideoMic NTG Hybrid Analog

Available At: Amazon / B&H

This is a fantastic mic because it also works as a USB mic. It has tons of features, like self-powering on and off and 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, pushing the mic away from the recorder to reduce the fan noise. You will want to record as far behind the mic as 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. It would also be nice if you have a smaller camera like a GoPro or something that takes a mic.

Rode Wireless Go

Available 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 mic or just get their kit.

Alternative to this, DJI makes a Lav Mic system that people like.

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 properly clean your UV or ND filters, your T-shirt will always leave some lint, but 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

An air blaster is one of the best tools for cleaning your camera gear. I prefer the Rocket Air because it has the fins at the base making it flat, this prevents it from rolling away when you set it down. You can use it to remove dust and dirt from your UV filters, lenses, or sensors. You can also use it to clean your front and back lens caps.

Sensor Brush

Available At: Amazon

Try one of these before you employ the wet method to clean your sensor. 

Often, 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 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 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 use the wet method is if your sensor has oil or strange smudges, like if you accidentally touched it or spit on it.
