Quick answer
Installing the Freewell L-Bracket Wooden Grip on your Fuji GFX100RF takes about two minutes and requires only a coin or flat tool to tighten the tripod screw.
Why the Freewell grip improves handling
The Freewell Premium Wooden L Bracket Handheld Grip is designed specifically for the Fuji GFX100RF, adding a contoured wooden side grip that reduces fatigue during long handheld sessions. The L-bracket also integrates an Arca-Swiss quick-release plate, so you can switch between handheld shooting and tripod work without removing the bracket.
Installation steps
- Align the bracket with the camera base: Place the Freewell L-Bracket against the bottom of the GFX100RF so that the wooden grip sits flush against the right side of the camera body. The bracket's metal plate should align with the camera's tripod socket. Check that the bracket is oriented correctly—the grip should face outward, not toward the lens.
- Insert and hand-tighten the tripod screw: Use the included screw (or a compatible 1/4-20 screw) and turn it clockwise into the camera's tripod socket until it is snug. Do not overtighten; the grip should be secure but not compress the camera base. Overtightening can strip the camera socket or crack the wooden grip. Stop as soon as you feel resistance.
- Secure with a coin or flat tool: Use a coin, a flathead screwdriver, or the edge of a key to give the screw a final quarter-turn. This ensures the bracket stays locked during use without being overly tight. If the bracket shifts during shooting, tighten another eighth-turn. If it still moves, check for debris under the plate.
