I have this rig for my D750. At $600 it's in-between the cheap Dicapac plastic bags and the $2000 model investment:

If you're not comfortable risking your D750 or D810 at this price point, I believe they also make hardshell housing for your Fuji to reduce your loss in case of a leak.

Thanks James. I contacted Meikon and their official response is that they don't make housings for any of the cameras I have. I suppose though that they will make one for the FUJI XT 30. The ebay ones seem to be their older design which I'd rather not invest in at this point. I've heard the new design is a big step up in quality. As an Engineer, I have no issues using an off brand product if its been engineered well enough to protect my gear. For the price, I am okay dealing with minor ergonomic issues and any mods that I'd need to do. There is little chance of my affording fancier kit for another year or two.
