Quick Answer

The SmallRig L-Shape Grip is a solid buy for Fujifilm X100VI and X100V owners who want a better hold and faster tripod mounting, especially if you use an Arca-Swiss head. Its silicone surface and light 82g weight make it comfortable for daily carry, but if you never use a tripod, a simpler grip may save you money.

Why an L-shape grip changes handling

The Fujifilm X100 series is compact, but its flat bottom and small front grip can feel insecure in larger hands. An L-shape grip adds a vertical plate on the left side, giving your fingers a stable rest and letting you hold the camera more like a traditional body.

The SmallRig version uses a silicone ergonomic design, which means the contact points are soft and non-slip. That helps in damp conditions or when you're shooting one-handed for quick street shots.

Tripod convenience without extra parts

The grip includes an Arca-Swiss quick release plate, so you can mount the camera directly on an Arca-Swiss tripod head without adding a separate plate. This saves time and reduces the chance of forgetting the plate at home.

Because the plate is built into the grip, you leave the grip on the camera permanently. That means the camera is always ready for tripod work, but it also adds a little bulk to the body—something to consider if you like a minimal pocketable setup.

Accessory extras that add value

The bundle includes a shutter release button and a hot shoe cover with a FUJIFILM imprint. The shutter button can make the soft shutter feel more responsive, and the hot shoe cover protects the contacts when you're not using a flash or viewfinder accessory.

These extras are small but practical, and they save you from buying them separately. However, if you already own these accessories, the bundle's value is less compelling.

Decision Rules: Should You Buy It?

  • If you shoot handheld often: Buy the grip if you find the X100VI or X100V slippery or hard to hold for long sessions. The silicone ergonomic design improves grip security.
  • If you use a tripod with Arca-Swiss: Buy it because the built-in Arca-Swiss plate lets you mount directly and quickly. You won't need a separate quick-release plate.
  • If you prefer a minimalist pocket setup: Skip it if you want to keep the camera as small as possible. The grip adds bulk and weight, even though it's light at 82g. Consider whether the added grip is worth the extra size for your daily carry.
  • If you already own the bundled accessories: Skip it if you already have a shutter release button and hot shoe cover. You're paying for extras you won't use.
