Baxxtar Pro Battery Pack - with Charger

The NP-W126s battery that comes with the X-M5 doesn't last long. So getting a couple of spare batteries is really a game changer. You also get a charger, so you can charge the batteries simultaneously.

Step Up Rings

These make any filter fit your lens. This is the cheapest option so you don't have to buy multiple expensive filters to each different lens you own. Make sure to pick the right size.

K&F Concept Blackmist Filter

This is a cheap filter, but it works really great. You get to filter that screws on to each other or other filters. A 1/8 and a 1/4 mist filter. This is basically the strength of the effect. Buy the biggest and use step up rings.

Freewell Versatile Magnetic ND

This Freewell system is great because it is magnetic, so it is easy to switch between no filter or ND filter. It also includes a Mist Filter and a Polarizing Filter, so you get a lot for your money. Buy the biggest and use step up rings.

Handwrist Strap with Anchor Link

This camera is so small so the risk of dropping it is legit. A Handwrist Strap gives you another element of security. Also it can prevent the camera from being stolen. With an Anchor Link attached to it, you can easy take it off, when you don't want to use it.

Anchor links - separately

Anchor links are really great, because they can let you switch between different strap really fast. For instance between a neck or wrist strap. For some situations you just want to take off the strap and then an anchor link is so convenient that fiddling with a strap.

Shutter release buttons

These can really change the aesthetic of your camera. So why not own a couple of different and change up the look of this pretty camera according to your liking or mood?!
