One Step Forward...

I finally managed to save the cash needed to buy the additional propriatory batteries required to run the Fuji X-T2's PoweGrip...


This really opens up my moviemaking and offers me new challenges. Although I could film in 4K before the limitations of just having one battery meant some very short outings (which very soon became a bit of a pain). The prospect of some longer experiments and learning sessions is quite exciting.

Ironically, while it's taken me quite a while to save up for these two extra Fuji batteries I had no sooner congratulated myself than I heard that Duracell has produced what are rumoured to be good quality alternatives to the Fuji NP-W126S shielded batteries at just £20 a piece!

Ah, well...I wouldn't be happy buying these alternatives until I read first-hand reports about their performance anyway. Still...Typical!
