must have fuji xh2s accessories that will save you $$$

[@devarojeremiah]

Hi Blase, I bought xh2s almost a year ago because of your beautiful content. I really satisfied with the camera. Hope you keep making content that related with this camera (or any filmmaking/color grading tips). This channel deserves more subscribes!

[@blasepivovar]

thanks so much! glad to hear you enjoy the camera as well!

[@Sy-db3li]

Thanks for all the info as always!

[@blasepivovar]

You bet!

Awesome video!! I'm planning on upgrading from the X-T2 to the X-H2s, so I'm staggered to have discovered that Smallrig don't make a HDMI clamp for their own cage to go with this camera. Granted, it sports a full size HDMI port, but I'd still be much more comfortable having it clamped, as I imagine many others would be as well. With my X-T2 I've had to use a clamp designed for the Sony A7 that just happens to perfectly fit the X-T2 if it's in a Smallrig cage, or copy of a Smallrig cage in my case, and even THAT clamp isn't made by Smallrig! I think you highlight an issue that more manufacturers, and especially such a popular company as Smallrig, need to address; that people want to clamp their HDMI and USB C ports and there should be clamps readily available for every cage and every popular camera model...

[@blasepivovar]

Thanks so much. Yeah totally agree. Glad to have found these products that work really well!

[@PHiLEE]

do you have an updated powering on / off sequence to not fry your hdmi port? thanks

[@blasepivovar]

last in, first out with the HDMI

[@PHiLEE]

@@blasepivovarthanks! are you pulling your hdmi cable before powering down your monitor each time (not battery swap)?

[@blasepivovar]

Yep, correct

[@quiztasiarocks]

Does the cooling fan make noise that you can hear in the recording?

[@blasepivovar]

on speed 1 no. on speed 2 it is louder but not to the point of making a meaningful difference in a recording

[@Eyeofkamau]

Solid video bro! I have the small rig vmount adapter that tilts like yours. It has 1/4 20 access that I’m not using, but now I’d like to use them the same way you’re using yours - to press the fan against the cam. Would you mind sharing the screws and padded pieces you used for that?

[@blasepivovar]

The screws were just ones that fit that I had lying around. I am not sure on the size as they are probably different with my plate being from Nitze. The pads are simply the rubber earbud tips from headphones that I also had lying around. Hope that helps!

[@Eyeofkamau]

@@blasepivovar haha bro that is awesome. Straight up Pro-Grade DIY. Thanks man, that helped a ton!

[@nic_dre]

@@Eyeofkamau@blasepivovar I just got the ulanzi v2 fan in and was wondering how the heck I was supposed to fix it in place. Thank you to you both 😎

[@Matteboxcreative]

Thanks for the info! Could you like the HDMI cable you're using? Also running the smallrig cage and the last 90 degree set I bought didn't have enough clearance to go over the top of the cage. TIA

Linked in my most recent rig build video but here you go as well! amzn.to/4bBFEoA

[@ScottClintonPhotography]

Thank you for the tip on the 3D printed cable protection blocks on EBay. I might have to pick those up for tethered shooting. Sorry that you had a bad experience with your HDMI port... But it is widely held that powering off USB-C is really not a good idea. That port, even with the protection block, is way to sensitive and finicky. I would love to hear more details on how your port blew?

[@blasepivovar]

Thanks! Yeah there is a whole video I made about the situation and potential solutions to prevent it moving forward. Curious to hear more on why powering via USB C isn’t “widely held.” Are there other videos or articles that explain more?

[@KuznyaFilm]

Бро как ты питаешь свою камеру? через USB C?

[@blasepivovar]

need a v mount or power bank with PD then just plug it in. I have switched to Dtap and Dummy battery since this video tho

[@CryWolfFilms]

What did you rnf up doing to fix the v mount issue? Looking into a vmount and don't wannt fry my camera

[@blasepivovar]

Check the comments of that video but in short, I now just follow the protocol common for SDI - "last in, first out" as it seems to be the most sure way to prevent something from happening. And then in addition, I now use several of the items in this video to help cables stay locked in :)

[@peho1498]

Why don’t you use the original fan for XH2S from Fuji?

[@Eyeofkamau]

It’s $200 brother. I have the ulanzi fan for the same reason. It gets the job done and is around 70% cheaper. The fuji fan is wildly overpriced, though I would like to buy it used someday!

[@blasepivovar]

Yeah just was curious about trying the cheap one as I haven't seen many folks using it

[@stoolin9706]

been a fuji user since xt-1. Sadly they're lost their way, so many issues with autofocus and firmware updates. Really wantds to update to the XH2-s but too many video of people having issues. There's no reason than in 2024 Fuji can't figure out autofocus.

[@blasepivovar]

Interesting. The AF has always worked great for me but that said I have not updated to the latest firmware after hearing about folks having issues. I personally just wait to update firmware for good while until others report back about bugs. Same goes for mac os, Davinci Resolve, or anything else I rely on for work.

[@U20SOL]

@@blasepivovar what firmware are you currently using? V1.03 seems to be the only version where AF bug isnt present.

[@blasepivovar]

@@U20SOL 5.03
