BG-F1 BATTERY GRIP Designed for the Fujifilm X-T1 Mirrorless Camera
Introduction The Vello BG-F1 is designed specifically for the Fujifilm X-T1 Mirrorless Camera. In addition to the battery in your camera, the BG-F1 accepts one Fujifilm NP-W126 rechargeable battery to effectively double your camera’s runtime, making it easier to shoot for longer durations without replacing your camera’s batteries. The BG-F1 attaches securely to your camera’s 1/4"-20 tripod socket with nonslip rubber enhancing your grip when shooting in vertical position.
If you notice smoke, an unusual smell, or noise from the battery pack, discontinue use immediately. Remove the battery and contact the Vello Customer Service Department. Install the battery in the proper orientation. Installing a battery in the reverse orientation can cause it to leak, overheat, or explode. 9. Avoid water or extreme humidity and keep in a dry and cool place. 10. Keep out of reach of children. 3. Keep this product away from water and any flammable gases or liquids. 11.

Attaching the Grip Tip: If you plan to use a single battery, we recommend inserting the battery into the grip (see Loading a Battery on page 8) rather than into your camera. This way, you will be able to access the battery while the grip is installed. 1. Make sure your camera is turned off. 6 2. Remove the rubber contact cap from the bottom of your camera and store it in the corresponding contact cap compar tment in the battery grip.
