Discover the best accessories for your Fujifilm X-H1, including batteries, memory cards, screen protectors, and camera flashes.
As the X-H1 is a bit older now, finding custom accessories might be more challenging, but I’ve compiled the best options that are still available.

Best Screen Protector For The Fujifilm X-H1
ExpertShield has been my go-to brand for screen protectors over the last few years. Great lifetime warranty and they honor it, unlike a lot of cheap brands. Glass is my favorite but chips over time. Anti-Glare is awesome but you will lose some clarity. Crystal Clear is great but sometimes they get caught and things peel off. I pretty much always go glass nowadays. Batman prefers Anti-Glare. 🙂

Best Fujifilm X-H1 Batteries
The X-H1 has slightly less battery performance compared to Fujifilm’s other cameras, so you will need extra batteries. Most of my Fujifilm cameras have NP-W126S batteries in them now, but I still do have a few extra Wasabi batteries I use as a backup.
The vertical battery grip for the X-H1 does include two NP-W126S batteries, so it might make sense for some of you.
Fujifilm NP-W126S The official Fujifilm W126s battery will give your XH1 the power it needs and won’t cause any lockups. The battery has a different discharge profile which can deliver more power quickly without overheating. I highly recommend having at least one of these as backup. |
Wasabi (2-Pack) w/charger 1400mAh Wasabi batteries are the best alternatives to the official Fujifilm batteries. I don’t use them in my battery grips, but if you want a few extra batteries, they do work great. I still use them occasionally in my X100 and X-Pro2. Wasabi is a California company that offers their batteries with a 3-year warranty. Available At: Amazon |
Battery Chargers & Accessories
If you’re a serious shooter and burn through a lot of batteries, you may want an extra charger or two to recharge your batteries quickly, or get a battery grip and use it as a dual battery charger.
Fujifilm Vertical Battery Grip (VPB-XH1) Fujifilm makes the best grips out there. It unlocks more power and features for your camera and includes a headphone jack for videographers. This grip also allows you to use three batteries in your camera at once. The grip comes with a wall adapter for quick recharge, so with this and your camera, you can charge four batteries at once. Two in the grip, one in the camera, and one in the BC-W126 charger that came with the camera. I highly recommend this grip. If you order it with the camera as a kit, the combo also comes with two batteries which are a way better value. Available At: Amazon |
Best SD Memory Cards
We’ve tested all the most popular UHS-II and UHS-I SD memory cards in the Fujifilm X-H1. We recommend going with UHS-II SD cards as they will give you the best results. See the full article here:
Fujifilm X-H1 Grips & Leather Cases
Gariz Leather Half Case Fujifilm XH1 I’ve had a few of the Gariz cases on a few different cameras. I kept one on my Fujifilm XT1 at all times and loved it. This is a great way to protect your camera from wear and tear. It allows full battery access with a mounting hole for a tripod plate. Unlike a lot of leather cases, the base of this is metal so the camera stays rigid while on a tripod. Available At: Amazon |
X-H1 Camera Straps
There are three types of straps with three types of configurations. Leather straps, nylon straps, and wrist straps. You can connect them at the bottom of the camera, at the top of the camera, or just on one eyelet as a wrist strap. I’ll list all the straps I’ve used and liked and let you decide which are the best straps for the X-H1.
Best Handmade Leather Straps
Probably my favorite leather strap is either the LeicaTime Deluxe strap or the HardGraft ReProcess strap. But Tap & Dye do make a nice strap as well.
HardGraft Leather Straps I love their Re-Process strap but they have new models all the time. Available At: HardGraft.com |
Luigi’s Deluxe Strap (click Luigi’s straps on the left, then scroll down for a mile until you find some cool configurations. Buying from this website is a little bit like cracking the Mayan code, but it can be done). Available At: Luigicases.com |
Tap&Dye I’ve only used their L E G A C Y leather camera fixed length neck/shoulder strap – Porter. It’s nice. Available At: Tap&Dye |
Factory Made Straps
Handmade leather straps are usually expensive. So if you’re looking for just a strap that’s better than what comes with the camera I’ve found a few I like. Custom SLR makes some nice stuff now and they even offer a leather strap. Their straps are also cool because they can connect to the bottom of your camera with a C-Loop that also allows you to take the strap on and off quickly.
Wrist Straps
I use a few wrist straps for some of my smaller cameras. I don’t think they would be great on the X-H1 unless you were using a pancake or smaller lens. There are only two wrist straps I’ve liked so far.
Gordy’s I like Gordy’s camera wrist strap. They’re made from Latigo leather and are very high quality. Available At: Gordyscamerastraps |
HardGraft Slide Camera Wrist Strap The Hard Graft camera wrist strap is one of my favorite wrist straps. Italian made with designer quality craftsmanship. Available At: HardGraft.com |
Fujifilm X-H1 Lenses
I’ve compiled a list of all lenses for the Fuji X-Mount. This includes all Fujifilm lenses as well as third-party lenses.
Fujifilm X-H1 Best Camera Flashes
There are a few flashes by Fujifilm, some smaller, some more serious, as well as a few third-party camera flash accessories that even allow high-speed sync.
Of all these camera flashes, if you just want the best bang for the and don’t want to think about it, get the Godox TT685F.
I use, it it’s awesome.
Full-Size Flash
Fujifilm EF-X500 Flash Fujifilm EF-X500 Flash weather resistant, TTL and HSS capable. It has a range of 24-105mm, built-out diffuser expands it to 20mm. (APS-C range is 16-70mm) Can tilt from -10 to 90° with left rotation of 135° and right of 180°. |
Godox TT350F Full support for Fujifilm TTL with HSS and a built-in 2.4GHz radio system so it can be used as a radio TTL master/slave unit, or as an optical slave. Has a tilting head from -7 to 90° and can rotate 270°. If using the Godox XT1-F radio trigger, be sure to upgrade the firmware on both units to get all the features. |
Godox TT685F 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 that has +- 5-stop of exposure comp with HSS. The build quality is good, but the instruction manual sucks. Available At: Amazon |
Cleaning Supplies
This is the basic list of camera cleaning accessories.
Check out my guide on how to clean your camera sensor for even more cleaning accessories and techniques.
(6 Pack) MagicFiber® Premium Microfiber Cleaning Cloths Great accessory for keeping your lenses and screens clean. After a while, these microfiber cloths will accumulate oil from cleaning your lenses or rear screens and they’ll end up just smudging film around on the lens. This is why having multiple cleaning cloths is a must. Available At: Amazon |
Rocket Air Blasters These are great for cleaning sensors or those small cracks in the camera. In Japan where they don’t use dryers, cloths all have too much lint and I have to always keep one of these to clean off my lenses as well. Rocket Air Small Available At: Amazon Rocket Air Medium Available At: – Amazon |
Sensor Brush APS-C Sometimes you’ll need a bit more to get a stubborn piece of dust off your sensor. That’s when the sensor brush works great. Available At: Amazon |
Best Accessories For The Fujifilm X-H1 Conclusions
The Fujifilm X-H1 was indeed an impressive camera when it hit the market. At the time of its release, it stood out as one of the best APS-C cameras available. With additional accessories like the X500 or Godox camera flashes for high-speed sync (HSS) capability and the Fujifilm battery grip that extends recording time, boosts continuous shooting frame rates and provides a headphone jack, the X-H1 becomes even more versatile.
To ensure its longevity, consider protecting your camera with a screen protector and a leather case.
