Cameras

  • Main camera: Fujifilm X-T30 (charcoal)
  • Secondary camera: Fujifilm X-T20
    • Second hand, for timelapses

Main drawback compared to X-T3/X-T4: not weather resistant, battery/card slot is behind the mount plate. The X-T20 and X-T30 are lighter and a bit more compact.

Lenses

  • Fujifilm XF 18-45
  • Fujifilm XF 55-200

I got the 18-55 with the X-T30 as kit lens.

While out hiking in the mountains I use the 55-200 more since it makes cleaner pictures, especially when there is no interesting foreground.

Tripod

  • Manfrotto Element Traveller L (Carbon)
    • Lightweight, large height of 164 cm (I’m tall), but folds very compact.
  • Manfrotto MH494 Ballhead + mount plate
  • Syrp Genie Mini
    • Camera rotation for time lapses

The second ball head is needed to point the camera independently of the rotation plane.

Straps

  • Peak Design Slide Lite
    • Wide strap
  • Peak Design Capture Clip
    • For convenient carrying on a backpack without shoulder strain.
  • Peak Design Dual Plate (2x, one per camera)
    • Mount plate that works well with both Manfrotto mounts and Peak design strap and capture clip.
  • Fujifilm MHG-XT10 handgrip
    • To increase grip on X-T30. Barely used since it also adds weight.

Misc

  • Extra batteries: Patona platinum NP-W126S (2x)
  • Patona dual charger for NP-W126S
  • Glass screen protector for X-T30
    • cracked now, so probably did its job
  • Soft release button: JJC SRB-BK (red)
    • Makes a larger shutter target. Not really necessary after getting used to the smaller shutter button.
