I can feel it…
I feel the lightness, I feel the happiness, I feel the promise of endless possibilities and more time (finally!!) to go out and shoot… or in short: School Is Almost Over, Holidays are Near (ok, apart from FujiRumors, that, don’t worry, will run non stop as always, wherever I’ll be 😉 .)
Ok, time to organize my travel and to think what I should not miss to bring with me. Of course, my X-T1 and a few lenses (not more than 3!).
But what else could I need?
I’ve checked out the various topics on our New Fuji X Forum, and found some interesting stuff, good for travels, that I would like to share also on FujiRumors.
POWER ADAPTER FOR FUJI’S BATTERY CHARGER
shared by FXF Member Prabbit
Why take that cable on holidays? Let’s get rid of it. FXF Member Prabbit bought this little cool Adapter for $6.25!

UNDERWATER HOUSING OR BAGS
shared by FXF Member Mike B
FXF Member Mike B asked: “Has anyone had experience with gear to allow the use of an X-T1 underwater?” The suggestions came in, from the Ewa Marine DB bag to the Meikon 40m/130ft Underwater Waterproof Camera Housing for X-T1! More suggestions in this FXF thread.
FUJIFILM INSTAX SP-1 PRINTER
shared by FXF Member Koban
I can’t recommend the little Fujifilm SP-1 Printer enough! There is dedicated thread at the FXF about it, with some feedback of X-shooters, who used it in their travels… a MUST HAVE!

You can also use the folding plug “duck head” found on many Apple products.
Yeah, I always use the Apple plugs for my camera chargers, and for the US-style plug Apple has the folding prongs.
Yep…that is what I use as well. I ditched that long cable long time ago.
How does that work? Don’t the camera chargers require more than USB 5.5v power?
Ahh I see how you do it good thinking!
For those away from power outlets/camping, etc., look into getting a portable battery charger. I’m using one from a company called Anker and have a 16,000 mAH pack. Not very big or heavy, can charge a couple items at a time. Incredibly useful. Fits nice in my bags.
Do you have an adapter to go from the chargers duckhead into a USB male plug?
Yup, I’ve got a couple. Bunch of options on Amazon. For example, I will carry one of these adapters, the power pack and the X100T charger cable usually. Charge the X100T directly, and an adapter for the X-Pro battery.
Awesome. Could you send me a link to one of these cables?
Peddle the shit outta this site! Commission spam fiesta
Never used Fujifilm’s charger. The excessive amount of cable is just dumb… Fuji, you are reading this… just keep it simpler for the x-pro2… apple style.
I got a third party one that has the folding prongs. Fujilm’s original is just collecting dust.
I’ve always found a ring-bound notebook and a few ballpoint pens invaluable, plus business cards with just my name and website address.
On the other end, I never use a (dedicated) photography bag for my gear, as this is always an open invitation for thieves of all kinds. Instead I use those six-pack cooler bags and plenty of flannel rags.
The Fuji charger sits at home. For traveling I bought the Wasabi charger kit. This came with 2 batteries, an US-style plug, an adapter to Euro (which I need) and a 12V plug for in-car charging. That is pretty versatile, methinks
