If you are looking for a vertical grip for your X-T1, but don’t want to spend $219 as for Fuji’s original vertical grip, maybe the VG-XT1 of EACHSHOT should be on your radar. It comes for just $63 at Amazon US – shipped and sold via party (or $80 with remote control – fulfilled by Amazon).
The Cheap Vertical Grip is available also in Europe at Amazon GERMANY / AmazonUK / Amazon France

I will wait for a few reviews…then depending on the reviews, i might get it..price is tempting
I’ll wait for reviews too. Some of their other grips for Nikon etc have good reviews when I checked.
Also notice there is an option for the grip only without remote for $63.
I have the uk remote version. I was surprised at the quality. It feels like a fuji product. The remote works well as a remote release but the other features are a mystery to me. There are options for interval and long exposure but the set up is beyond me. The instructions are worse than useless. I would recommend highly just on the ability to use in portrait, to balance heavier lenses with extra battery life. Recommended.
Is this the same as the Meike? Haven`t heard of that one after the Release
Just bought it branded as Meike on ebay, at the same price shipped free from Hong Kong ( http://www.ebay.com/itm/261861430145 ). I’m pretty sure it is the same product (same imagen, description, price, etc)
There was the option cheaper without the remote control, and also without remote control but with 2 extra batteries at 80 usd also. Went with the one with the remote control (already have 5 batteries) to see how it works… maybe it’s faster/handier that using the mobile app on some situations when you need it to just work straight away.
I can report back when it arrives (in several weeks though :P)
Cheers, just placed a UK order. 🙂
Before you buy, just make sure WR isn’t important to you because I doubt this one is.
OK got mine so thought I’d just post a few words for others who might want to know more about this product. As posted, no WR with this, construction quality is very very good and more than I expected. I have not seen the Fuji grip so can’t compare but as of itself, A+. All buttons/dials and latch/lock switchs function as expected. Non slip rubberised cover coating is well matched colour wise to my black X-T1. Happy with my purchase and would recommend this product, especially for non professional use.
The 2/3rd saving is nay to be sniffed at and you can buy with confidence that your £60 is getting a great product.
Just an update, my unit failed and has been returned, 🙂 battery refused to lach into unit so no power delivery. Both Fuji and oem batteries affected.
