- Uses NP-W126S batteries
- NOT compatible with X-T4 / X-T5, which use a different grip and battery
Best for
Aimed at portrait, wedding and event photographers - three batteries in total roughly triples shooting time, and the vertical controls make portrait-orientation work far more comfortable. Boost mode is the less obvious benefit, lifting burst rate and viewfinder responsiveness. Adds noticeable bulk, so most people fit it for a job rather than leaving it on permanently.
Frequently asked questions
Will it fit an X-T2 or X-T4?
It is designed for the X-T3. The X-T2 uses the similar VPB-XT2 and the two are often cross-fitted physically, but full electronic function is only guaranteed on the intended body. It definitely does not fit the X-T4 or X-T5, which changed both grip design and battery.
What does Boost mode actually do?
With the extra batteries fitted, the camera can draw more power - raising continuous shooting speed, cutting shutter lag and blackout time, and increasing the viewfinder refresh rate. Useful for action, less so for static subjects.
Why buy from Bass & Bligh
Bought from a real shop, not a warehouse.
Dispatched on the Monday… great service
Ordered a Panasonic four thirds lens dispatched on the Monday after purchase and delivered on the following Tuesday great service. Tried on the camera and initial thoughts are wow pin sharp and clear photos. Thank you
George P.Ordered a lens onlineA proper little treasure trove
3rd time I've been to this shop to treat myself to some new kit. Always very friendly and knowledgeable. Fairly priced too. I would highly recommend a visit if your nearby and looking for camera gear. I'd say if they don't have what your looking for, it's probably not possible to find anywhere. It's a proper little treasure trove.
Philip B.Third visit to the shopBrilliant advice with awesome customer service
Sure you can buy online and possibly save a few pounds.. but if you require and appreciate knowledge and brilliant advice with awesome customer service then it's a no brainer...This is a real camera shop like it used to be back int day..
