Battle of the Fujifilm X-T5 Hand Grips: SmallRig vs Neewer vs Haoge

[@Sleepyboiwonder]

What an important video. Thanks for comparing these!

Glad it was helpful!

I settled on the Fuji handgrip because I like the fit and finish better than the Smallrig grip. Still, the Smallrig grips are a good choice.

Thanks for sharing

I bought a grip with an ebony black wooden handle from iwoodstore. It only weighs 80 grams and provides a reasonable solution when I use the latest fast primes (XF 18mm F1.4, XF 23mm F1.4, and XF 33mm F1.4).

Nice!

Jackie, I've had the SmallRig on my XT-5 since 2 weeks after I got the camera body in 2023. It was available in silver, which matched my XT5's 2 tone body color scheme.

It’s a great choice!

I have the Small Rig as it came out first and I had to do something immediately (XL hands). It was a little warped, I had to flatten it a little to make it fit properly. I like it fine but after your video, think I might try the Haoge.

I like the Haoge a lot aside from using with fat lenses. It is the closest to my X-S20 grip which feels amazing. The only thing the X-S20 is, it’s just a bit too short. The Haoge solves that. Thanks for watching.

I would like to see someone develop a grip for the small Fuji bodies with an integrated shutter release that can be removed to also have a remote shutter release. Because the shutter release is very unergonomic to reach with a large grip. And with an optional L-bracket. I have a X-E3 and I like it for a daily carry, but sometimes I Like to use bigger lenses etc.

[@JackieDElia]

So true. That would be awesome if a grip would be available that solves that.

Bravo. Thank you. My ideal was the feel of the X-h1 grip which reminded me of my old Nikon. I tried the Fujifilm for my X-T5 and it was just too shallow for my large male glove size hands. I am now using the SmallRig which is a bit better in the depth, but not crazy about the softness of the grip. So is the Haoge grip a bit deeper?

[@JackieDElia]

Yes! Thank you for watching. Give it a try.
