Equipped with a shutter release button, twin command dials, AE-L button, AF-L button and Focus Assist button, the vertical grip not only lets you hold the FUJIFILM X-T1 vertically with a more confident grip, but also puts all the controls where your fingers expect them to be. The tripod mounting socket is located in line with the camera's optical axis, just like on the regular body.
In addition to comfortable shooting, the vertical grip also holds an auxiliary battery (NP-W126). Combined with the rechargeable battery in the body, the battery in the dust- and water-resistant vertical grip provides enough charge for approximately 700 frames.
