Fuji X100V: What's in my TRAVEL PHOTOGRAPHY tips

[@BoorayPerry]

I am so used to my thumb grip being on my camera that I forgot to mention it. LOL... it's on the gear page. :)

[@macsprotte1436]

Dear Booray, I can not see anything on your gear page. Is there anything I have to adjust in my iOS preferences?

[@BoorayPerry]

It's a glitch that I just discovered. I've been so busy the last couple of weeks I haven't been able to fix it 😀

[@GaryHughesOfficial]

You are always so clever with your gear

[@roadhouseguy]

Thanks Booray I bought the Godox TT350 F after your review. X100F user.

[@BoorayPerry]

You're welcome!

[@frankkearney1429]

Unfortunately, none of the items you mention are here on the "more" page - only a link to...this same video on your gear page. As a new owner of this camera, I am ready to load up, but now must watch the video and try to see where I might find what you are presenting - equally disturbing is that I am unable to use your link to be certain you are credited for your commission. However - thank you for the information. And the Peak Design strap idea is excellent. I own two of those straps and will be changing one this afternoon. Cheers!

[@BoorayPerry]

Hey Frank, I just checked the link and it's good (boorayperry.com/boorays-gear/). Are you in the UK? The links are Amazon U/S. and I have heard that sometimes they don't show up for people outside the states. I haven't figured out how to fix that.

[@frankkearney1429]

@@BoorayPerry OK - I figured it out. It's a Firefox issue. I loaded the site through Chrome and everything is there and nicely laid out. Time to go shopping:)

[@torinsall]

That Think Tank bag is great for all the reasons you said. Mine currently holds the Fuji X100V with WCL-II and CPL, Panazonic LX100 converted to Infrared with several IR filters plus the tiny external flash, DJI Pocket-2 creative bundle with several ND/CPL filters. Nice variety to have. Of course this means the XT4 needs it's own bag ... enough to hold the camera, 16-80mm, 10-24mm ... and someday the 70-300mm, with CPL filter and variable ND filter. Oh...and the Godox flash (same as yours)....tho I rarely use flash.

[@dennisjones5579]

Hmmm.... wouldn't I have to change the settings with the x100 as well, since it's a conversion lens? I'll look for some other reviews re: the x70 to get more information. Thanks for being willing to check out the other review. Much appreciated.

[@jgates]

Every time I watch your videos I think more about Fuji cameras. Maybe one day I’ll buy an inexpensive one just to try out the system.

[@BoorayPerry]

That's how they get you😁📷

[@BrandonTalbot]

Just sold all my Fuji gear, and I miss it already. I’ll definitely buy another one eventually. Nothing better for value for money

[@markcoleman4635]

I have the same bag for my nikon z50, fits the camera and the two kit lenses, a small flash, battery charger, extra battery and some other items. Makes for a great travel or nimble kit. My x100f is in a small tamrac bag with batteries, camera strap and lens hood. I enjoy the fuji videos a lot, new to the fuji system.

[@rrrteee8405]

I really enjoy people who have the ability to sit back and gently poke fun at themselves.... the jacket with extra pockets.... the cabinet with extra compartments. And u r smiling the whole time! I have GAS .... and fully realize it! When my X100F died, I got a V right away because there is no way I can buy extra lenses for it. but I bought the tele adapter and find it way, way too big. It collects dust in a cabinet. I own that tripod because u recommended it... I keep a plain filter on the V to have it weather sealed (my old X100F got dust inside on the sensor...and I don't want that to happen to this camera) I have not used a polarizing filter in many years.... will look for the vid u did on that. The only strap I use for small cameras is the "VKO black camera hand wrist strap" Finally, my x100v usually goes in a pocket inside my Timbuk2 small messenger bag. Camera bags that are made by camera bag companies always make me nervous. I figure they look like targets. But I agree Think Tank makes superbly thought out products. I

[@BoorayPerry]

Believe me, no one makes fun of me more than I do. 🤣 I wouldn't own the Teleconverter lens either because it is too big. But, since yours is just sitting in a drawer, if you want to donate it to the channel.... 🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@markcasebeer8273]

Fun video. I love the soft shutter buttons but I've lost everyone I've bought (many)! I'm not buying them again! I also use the Thinktank bag, sometimes I bring my T-3 with one lens along with the 100v. It's a great bag. I like the Peak leash myself on the 100V but I have other Peak straps that I use. Great to switch from camera to camera. I watch other KZbin channels but really enjoy listening to your take on Fuji. You're always enthusiastic when you put out a video, you can tell that your passion is photography. Thank You!

[@BoorayPerry]

Thanks📷😁

Thx for for sharing tour tips , love it

[@ChrisSeddonPhotographer]

Fantastic video. Thanks! I've just bought the X100V to capture family life once our baby arrives, and it's great to see you talk through your accessories. I have a quick question though. How do you attach the Peak Design anchors to the loops on the side of the camera? I bought the PD Leash as it looks perfect, but I've been sat here for 20 minutes trying to get them through the loops and it looks impossible!! Any advice? Thanks :)

[@BoorayPerry]

I have little metal loops (like a keychain) that attach to the camera, then I attach the anchor to them. Thanks for watching!

[@brownkid44]

What do you travel with for charging? As in do you carry two batteries? A special travel charger for said batteries?

[@BoorayPerry]

I carry two batteries and I charge them directly through the camera. I used to carry a charger but not anymore

[@donho6523]

sorry for not commenting earlier... but 3 extra batteries and my instax square printer go in my bag all the time.

[@94slingshot]

Thanks to Kitty at Atola Visuals I stopped carrying cleaning cloths, I just carry a hand full of Kim Wipes in a small baggies. I’m still carrying most of my Fuji gear in the old Domke F2 I used when freelancing back in , well, along time ago. Except for a new strap it is just getting broken in.

[@petersymes8467]

I use blue tac on my trigger. I put it on the tread and it has not come off so far. Lapage also makes this product.

Booray- Great video. I have a question and a request. Question- How do you get those Peak Design anchors through those tiny holes in the anchor points on Fuji cameras? Request- Could you do a video on your new Instax printer and how you use it wirelessly with you Fuji cameras? Thanks!

[@BoorayPerry]

It won't fit through the hole. You have to put a ring on it. I might do a video on the Instax printer 📷😁

Hello .. how about the leather holder from this video. What brand is it. I didn’t find no exact information regarding this accessory. Thanks :)

How important is to have a nice strap for our camera, isn’t it? I’m using this old camera strap originally from a Yashica SLR bought by my father back in 1979, and never have found a strap as convenient as this is.

[@chaser5515]

A dab of clear nail polish helps keep a soft shutter release in place without causing any issues 😎

Yep you are correct ... I was just pulling your chain a bit. 🙂

Hey Booray, it looks like the company that made demb flip it is stopping production of their products. Do you have another bounce card that you could recommend?

[@BoorayPerry]

Oh no.... I do not. I'll have to look into that.

[@brianfitzrealty]

Jackets and bags 💼 are my kryptonite too 🤣. Great video!

[@NewarkSteve]

Too keep the soft release button on the camera use either teflon tape or if your wife or daughter has nail hardener, try that.

[@AGoodBuzz]

so that Godox TT350 works _fully_ with the X100V? Nothing lacking for a flash that only costs less than a hundred bucks?

[@BoorayPerry]

It works great. It doesn't have the power of a big pro flash but it's definitely got more power than the one built into the camera

[@haydur]

You say that the round JJC hood goes directly onto the lens... but I don't believe that is the case. That hood comes with an adapter that fits onto the lens, and the hood is attached to that adapter.

[@BoorayPerry]

If you unscrew the tiny ring that is on the front of the lens, the round hood goes right on that. It's threaded just like the adaptor.

[@haydur]

@@BoorayPerry Thanks, is this is the same JJC hood linked to on your gears list page?

[@BoorayPerry]

@@haydur It should be.

[@hubertcole1645]

Extra batteries? Battery charger?

Does your bungee have hooks on the end? how long is the bungee? Thanks, great video!!

[@stuartsilverman3797]

Excellent lesson, Booray. I appreciate your low keyed approach and easily understood explanations. Question: in auto exposure my xt4 hunts a lot to find focus. Any suggestions? Thanks

[@BoorayPerry]

Are you talking about eye focus? That can be weird depending on light and faces, etc. Other than that, I never let the camera decide where to focus. I put the focus square where I want it with the joystick.

[@stuartsilverman3797]

I’m talking about regular auto focus (not eye). In certain light, the focus point just wanders around, and the joystick will move the point but when you let go the point just can’t hold focus. Seems to happen in bright light at a distance or high dynamic range at a distance.

[@BoorayPerry]

@@stuartsilverman3797 Hmm, I haven't experienced that. Using one shot focus?

[@stuartsilverman3797]

@@BoorayPerry yep. In certain situations i 1/2 press and the focus box will not settle on a spot. I will try some things and see what happens. BTW, we are neighbors-I live in Lutz

Fujifilm X100VI

[@dennisjones5579]

So, I just watched a video wherein the photographer shows how you can use the WCL-X70 wide angle conversion lens with the x100v making it an equivalent of 26 mm lens. It's also half the price of the WCL-x100. If interested, here's the link: kzbin.info/www/bejne/p52ye4yXe5JnpdE If you're willing, I'd like to know your thoughts on it. Thanks.

[@BoorayPerry]

That's pretty great. I love it when people find stuff like this. I guess it comes down to: are you willing to have to change the settings in the camera every time you use it if you save $150? I'm guessing a lot of people will say "yes." I have seen some reviews that claim the image quality suffers.

[@martinsmyth5580]

Booray greetings from Ireland. It never rains here lol lol

[@peterhall3833]

Another informative video thank you. Somewhat unrelated to gear but I have a question related to the X100 V battery. If we’re not using this camera for a period of weeks do you recommend removing the battery.

[@BoorayPerry]

If it's only a couple of weeks I wouldn't worry about it unless I was putting it someplace really hot.

[@Flying4Film]

Be careful with the soft shutter button. Fuji recommends you don’t use them and I found out the hard way. There is a plastic sleeve in the shutter button and a slight bump of the soft shutter button will crack it. Fuji has to replace the entire top of the camera and it’s an $800 repair of the camera is not under warranty.

[@BoorayPerry]

That's good advice. Truth is, I don't have a soft release anymore because i keep losing them and I don't want to glue them in place.

[@TheVFXbyArt]

... more of a think tank sling bag fan myself... sits on your back, flips to your front to change camera or lenses.

Putting a filter on front of this camera will not allow the camera to focus so there is a real need to first put on a ADAPTER to allow the lens to move out. The filter alone will not allow the lens to move without bumping the filter so not allowing true focus. The camera will give a focus error message.
