Fujifilm X-T5 Travel Setup — My One-and-Done Kit (2025)

Why this kit?

I loved the X100VI for travel, but the Fujifilm X-T5 with the 16–50mm internal-zoom has become my one-and-done travel setup. It flips from stills to video instantly, packs dual card slots for backup, and the tilt screen makes low-angle and vertical shots easy.

How I set it up

• Lens: 16–50mm f/2.8–4.8 internal zoom (no protruding barrel, smooth action, aperture ring)
• Video: Variable ND on the front for consistent shutter; quick switch to Movie mode
• Body comfort: SmallRig leather half case for grip + protection; soft-press shutter button
• Power: USB-C rechargeable batteries (carry two; charge from a power bank)

Travel-friendly touches

The tilting screen is brilliant for creative angles and vlogging, and the dual card slots keep files safe. Add a pocket tripod or a tiny USB-C flash cube and you’re covered for group shots or low-light fills without bulk.
