Why not so! I had the "old handle" on the Fuji X-E1. To get to the battery or memory card had been mounted off and the handle. Since I set up all my tripod heads on the Arcaswiss system had with the old handle also still off an adapter plate and been mounted. In the long run quite a lot Schrauberei. The new handle solves these problems at a stroke. All available and installed immediately on the tripod. I can wholeheartedly recommend this grip! Also the price into perspective, if you know what adapter plates for Arcaswiss system cost.
