anyone have a favorite thumb grip and leather strap combo for the Fuji X-E4? i just scored a silver body for my trip to Japan next month and im so stoked to start shooting with it!!
i was looking at the official fujifilm thumb rest but i saw some people on a discord say its way too expensive and that the haoge or squarehood ones actually fit the dial better? i also really want a nice slim leather neck strap, maybe something from gordys or a local maker but i dont want it to be super stiff and annoying to wrap around my wrist. my budget is like $100-120 for both pieces. should i just go cheap on the grip and splurge on the leather?

Honestly just get the Haoge THB-X4B Thumb Rest for Fujifilm X-E4 to save money. Then splurge on a Gordys Camera Straps Leather Neck Strap since those get way softer over time...

To add to the point above: unfortunately, I found that budget options like the JJC TA-XE4 Thumb Grip often have manufacturing gaps that make them wobble. Its just not as good as expected for a long trip where you need reliability.
- The Squarehood X-E4 Thumb Grip is a better investment for a precise fit.
- Grab a Clever Supply Co Skinny Leather Strap because cheap leather stays stiff and basically ruins your handling.

To add to the point above: be careful with going too cheap on the thumb rest. Some budget ones actually wiggle and can stress the hot shoe mount over time. I would suggest looking at Lensmate Thumb Rest instead for a tighter fit. Also, you might want to consider Tap & Dye Leather Strap for your trip. Their leather stays way softer and wont get that annoying stiffness.
