Description

AGX106 Core, lightest handgrip for Fujifilm X100VI, now in Buffed Aluminum with Brass Accents

This isn’t just a handgrip, this is the handgrip, refined in both design and finish.

Introducing the Buffed Aluminum edition of the AGX106 Core. It brings the same ultra-lightweight, compact design now presented in a raw, honest finish that highlights both material and craftsmanship. At just 43.7 grams including the assembly screw, it remains the lightest handgrip for Fujifilm X100VI, now elevated with a clean metallic surface and warm brass accents.

The bare aluminum body is hand-buffed to achieve a subtle brushed look with a soft sheen. There is no coating, no paint—just pure metal, finished by hand. Over time, the surface may develop minor scuffs and scratches, depending on how it’s used. These marks are part of the natural aging of raw aluminum, and the surface can always be reconditioned with light sanding or polishing to restore its clean appearance.

Complementing the silver finish, solid brass screws add a warm, golden contrast that enhances the visual character of the grip without overpowering its minimal design. The result is a striking balance between form and function, engineered for performance and finished with intention.

Everything that defines AGX106 Core’s precision, fit, and handling remains the same. This version simply lets the metal speak for itself.

Three Unique, Game-Changing Concepts

1. Palm Hold, Thumb Lock
   Like the original AGX106, the AGX106 Core Buffed Aluminum edition changes the way you hold your camera. Rather than relying on bulky front grips or hot-shoe-mounted thumb rests that block access and add clutter, this grip shifts support to the rear.

It provides a generous palm hold, extending support down to the base of the thumb, and an integrated thumb lock that gives you a strong, confident grip. The result is better balance, more control, and zero interference with the camera’s flash, EVF, or rear buttons.

• Pinky Arc
  At the front of the grip, the Pinky Arc offers a soft, ergonomic curve designed to give your pinky finger a place to rest or slide underneath the camera. For users with larger hands, this small feature makes a big difference in comfort, especially during longer shooting sessions.
• Inlaid Quick Change
  The baseplate features a recessed Arca-Swiss style dovetail (38mm), allowing seamless tripod mounting without overtaking the design of the handgrip. This inlaid quick-change design keeps the bottom surface clean and flush with the rest of the grip, maintaining the overall sleek profile.

More Thoughtful Features

1. Cradle Fit
   Rather than sitting flat underneath, the grip cradles the camera from the bottom and sides, providing a more secure mechanical fit. This improves both rigidity and protection, while making the grip look like an organic part of the camera body rather than a separate accessory.
2. Bare Metal, Hand Finished
   Every grip is CNC machined from aerospace-grade aluminum, then hand-buffed to a clean, brushed-metal appearance. Since it is raw aluminum, the surface may pick up light scuffs or wear marks over time, which can easily be cleaned up with a light sanding pad or polishing compound. It’s a finish that’s meant to be used, maintained, and appreciated.
3. Brass Accents, Mechanical Character
   The solid brass screws are more than just fasteners, they add warmth and contrast, giving the grip a distinct, mechanical identity. They age naturally over time and complement the raw aluminum beautifully.
4. Zero Compromises
   The AGX106 Core doesn’t block anything. You retain full access to the battery door, hot shoe, rear controls, and ports. It improves handling and comfort without adding bulk or interfering with the camera’s operation.

The AGX106 Core in Buffed Aluminum is for photographers who value honest materials, clean aesthetics, and real functionality. If you’re looking for the lightest handgrip for Fujifilm X100VI, now just 43.7 grams, with a raw aluminum finish that can be refreshed anytime, this version is built for you.

Pure metal, brushed by hand, ready to be used and reconditioned for life.
