Like someone mentioned, skip the cage. I was satisfied using a Peak Design Leash Charcoal Camera Strap in Tokyo last year. It works well, no complaints, and leaves cash for ramen.

Tokyo is gonna be absolutely amazing with the X-T5! If you're deciding between those two, definitely grab the Nitecore FX3 Fujifilm NP-W235 Dual Slot USB-C Charger first. It is a total game changer for travel. I used to think charging in-camera was fine but when you're hitting 25k steps a day in Shinjuku, you dont want your camera stuck to a wall outlet back at the hotel. Being able to juice up two batteries at once via a power bank in your backpack while you're out eating ramen is just fantastic! The SmallRig Cage for Fujifilm X-T5 4135 is cool for protection but it adds extra weight you might not want for long days. If you really want a better handhold, maybe look at the SmallRig L-Shape Grip for Fujifilm X-T5 4136 instead? It's way cheaper and keeps the camera light for street photography. Since you have $100, you could actually get the Nitecore charger and the L-grip together and still have cash left for a snack! But seriously, go for the charger first and maybe put the leftover money toward a spare Fujifilm NP-W235 Rechargeable Li-Ion Battery. Having that extra power is way more important for a trip like this than a metal frame. You wont regret it when you're shooting all night under those neon lights!

> I'm stuck between getting the Nitecore FX3 dual charger or just buying a SmallRig cage Tbh I'm kinda undecided on the cage thing. I used one on a trip last year and while it felt solid, the extra bulk started to annoy me after a few hours of walking. Not sure if the X-T5 really needs the protection or if it just makes it harder to fit in a small bag? Someone told me a simple thumb grip helps with the ergonomics way more anyway.
