Baxxtar Pro Battery for Fujifilm X-T4 Shipping June 26

As you know, I bought the Fujifilm X-T4 and along with it also an additional original NP-W235 battery and the mandatory BC-W235 dual battery charger.

Thanks to the NP-W235, battery life on the X-T4 has been substantially improved over X-T3.

On my first hike on the Dolomites I came through the day with one battery quite comfortably. Frankly, I don’t think I will ever need more than 2 of these batteries. And probably most of the time, the second battery won’t be even used and stay in my bag just to give peace to my mind.

Hence, I am not in the market for another battery, for now, and that’s good, as those nice NP-W235 batteries aren’t exactly what I would call “affordable”.

But if I’d get a third one, it would probably be a third party battery.

I know a much used (and appreciated) third party battery among Fuji shooters are the Wasabi branded Fujifilm batteries and we already reported here, that Wasabi is working on batteries for Fujifilm X-T4.

But it seems, that the first alternative to the original NP-W235 batteries will be the Baxxtar Pro replacement batteries for Fujifilm X-T4, which can be bought single or in double pack and will start shipping on June 26.

At the moment, the batteries seem to be available only in Europe at AmazonDE here. But it’s probably just a matter of short time now, until a wide variety of third party options will hit the market.

SmallRig Fujifilm X-T4 Hand Grip and New L-Bracket Version

We already reported about the Smallrig cage for Fujifilm X-T4 in the article here.

They now offer also the X-T4 hand grip and new X-T4 L-Bracket without that wooden grip part, which many did not like. Also, the new version also does not extend, so it is cheaper than the wooden L-grip version.

Many of our Fujifilm X-T members already own it. Check out their feedback here.

Fujifilm X-T4 IBIS Stress Tests vs X-H1, Panasonic S1H, OIS only vs IBIS only and More

Andrew comprehensively tested the IBIS on the Fujifilm X-T4. It’s a 30 minutes video.

Just so you know, when below we talk about “scientific test”, it means Andrew placed the cameras on a massage gun. That way, he was able to induce the same amount of vibration to all the cameras he tested.

Down below you will find the video and the summary in a nuthsell, for those who can’t watch the full video right now.

Fujfilm X-T4 Kits Now In Stock… and Finally I made My First Dolomites Hike with my X-T4

It was a long wait, but finally also various Fujifilm X-T4 kits are now in stock.

You can get the kit with the Fujinon XF16-80mm f/4 or the kit with the XF18-55mm f/2.8-4.

Btw, after a long online teaching marathon, that kept me locked down even after the COVID-19 lockdown was lifted, recently I finally had some time to get out and hike a bit on my beloved Dolomites again, which I had not photographed since last autumn, as you can see here.

And if until now I used my X-T4 only for video (and used Final Cut Pro to edit them), I finally can open up Capture One 20 again, and edit the X-T4 RAW files.

But I wonder…

… sure, I will use my X-T4 for the next weeks, as it’s new and shiny. But will my super-small X-E3 claim back it’s top spot in my camera bag, or will I just end up buying a bigger bag? I don’t know the answer yet.
