New: Owlkrown FlexGrip for Fujifilm X100VI cameras

Owlkrown released a new FlexGrip for Fujifilm X100VI cameras (the X100VI is still out of stock!) – here are the details:

  • The Owlkrown FlexGrip for the Fujifilm X100VI was designed to integrate naturally with the camera body, extending the original form of the X100VI into a grip that feels unified, balanced, and complete in the hand. The design follows the geometry of the camera closely, preserving the compact nature of the system while significantly improving handling and stability during everyday shooting.
  • Machined from solid aircraft grade aluminum, the FlexGrip maintains an extremely lightweight construction while delivering the rigidity and precision expected from a professionally machined component. Every surface, radius, and transition was engineered to feel seamless against the body of the camera.
  • An integrated AirTag compartment adds discreet traceability without altering the external profile of the grip. Hidden within the structure, it allows photographers to keep track of their camera system without relying on external accessories or cases.
  • The built in Arca-Swiss compatible profile allows direct tripod mounting without requiring additional plates or adapters. Two integrated 1/4”-20 threaded mounts provide additional flexibility for tripod positioning and accessory mounting depending on shooting style or setup.
  • Inside the grip, a silicone padded interface protects the camera body while creating a secure, vibration resistant fit. The side integrated lug allows attachment of wrist straps or alternative carrying configurations including portrait carry setups.

Some Owlkrown are sold at B&H Photo.

New Fujifilm F260001 camera registered (Fujifilm X-T6?)

 
Fujifilm registered a new F260001 camera in Asia that will use X-Processor 6. Fujiaddict reports that this will most likely be the Fujifilm X-T6:

“This camera will likely be the Fujifilm X-T6, but there is also a small chance that it could be the Fujifilm X-Pro4 or Fujifilm X-H3. We generally find these listings pretty close to launch events, and Fujifilm announced Fujikina in Warsaw this June, so it is likely a camera will be announced at or before the event.”
