▸ Spare Battery

I carried a spare battery in my sling, but honestly I didn’t really need it—battery life on the X-E5 surprised me in a good way. Still, for travel days, a spare is cheap insurance if you’re shooting a mix of photo and 6.2K video.

Pros

+Peace of mind for long travel days
+Essential backup if you shoot lots of video
+Small and easy to pack

Cons

-You may not need it if you’re mostly shooting stills due to solid battery life
