Fujifilm VG-XT4 Grip Specification

The Fujifilm VG-XT4 Grip is a vertical battery grip designed exclusively for the Fujifilm X-T4 mirrorless digital camera, enhancing its operational flexibility and endurance. Constructed with high-quality materials, the VG-XT4 seamlessly integrates with the X-T4, maintaining the camera's robust build and weather resistance by providing dust and moisture protection, allowing operation in temperatures as low as -10°C.

The grip significantly extends shooting time by accommodating two additional NP-W235 batteries, in addition to the one in the camera body, effectively tripling the battery life for extended shooting sessions. It features a dedicated battery-charging functionality via an included AC adapter, enabling simultaneous charging of both batteries within the grip, ensuring minimal downtime.

Ergonomically designed, the VG-XT4 offers enhanced handling, particularly during vertical shooting. It includes a secondary shutter release button, command dials, focus lever, AE-L and AF-L buttons, and a Q button, mirroring the camera's controls for intuitive use. This ensures seamless transition between horizontal and vertical orientations without compromising functionality.

The grip's intelligent power management system coordinates with the X-T4's in-body settings, displaying battery status for all installed batteries on the camera's monitor. Weighing approximately 310 grams, the VG-XT4 maintains a balance with the camera body, ensuring comfortable handheld use. This accessory is indispensable for professional photographers and enthusiasts looking to maximize the X-T4's performance in demanding shooting environments, offering a perfect blend of durability, functionality, and extended power capacity.
