A large grip for X-T4 needed. SmallRig? Something else?
1

I was never much into grips, until I bought MHG-XT1 LARGE for my X-T1. I really helped, I could keep the camera in hand without using force just by hanging it on fingers. I makes a huge difference when making a long shooting.

I did not buy X-T2 nor X-T3 mainly because Fuji did not provide anything similar for those cameras. I did buy X-H1 and wasreally happy with its ergonomics.

I am seriously thinking about X-T4, because it apparently solves  few problems I had with X-H1.

But I need a large, comfortable grip, with wich I could confidently hang the camera on my fingers and carry it without force, like I do with X-H1. But Fuji this time does not provide even modest grips, so I must look into third party.

I already searched the internet, and at this time the only thing that at least looks like what I need is https://www.smallrig.com/smallrig-l-bracket-for-fujifilm-x-t4-camera-lcf2811.html

It looks nice, but I am not sure, if it is big enough.

I did ask the SmallRig customer support how it feels in comparison with X-H1, but they are completely unable to understand and answer such question - I already had exchanged a few messages with them without getting anywhere.

The grip for X-T4 is new and the camera is not on the market, but there is one very similar for older XT2/3: https://www.smallrig.com/smallrig-l-bracket-for-fujifilm-x-t3-and-x-t2-camera-2253.html  and I hope to find users of it.

1. If there is anyone who used it, I would like to ask how comfortable it feels. Can you hang the camera on your fingers without force and without feeling it will fall?
Even better, if someone could compare to X-H1, but this might be too much.

2. What good quality alternatives are possible, if any?
