We still cannot believe that we officially inaugurated our new FUJIFILM Europe Headquarters at last week’s official opening event. Leaving our old HQ in Düsseldorf, Germany for our new home in Ratingen, Germany.

On June 12, 2022, our NEW FUJIFILM Europe Headquarters in Ratingen, Germany was officially inaugurated by Teiichi Goto, President & CEO of FUJIFILM Holdings Corporation. We had the honor to welcome three special guests to this event: Teiichi Goto, President & CEO of FUJIFILM Holdings Corporation, Mona Neubaur, Deputy Prime Minister, North Rhine-Westphalia and Mayor Klaus Pesch, City of Ratingen. Additionally, everyone was excited to finally see our new office space, our brand-new showrooms and of course, our new Open Innovation Hub.

X-H2S Meets FPV Drone

“In the wake of excitement and fulfillment after each project passes, our desire to go bigger and do more continues to go on,” explains the filmmaker duo Double Vision from New Zealand. One major aspect that needs to be addressed appropriately is the seemingly endless equipment.

Every photographer or filmmaker will at some point be part of a project where all you can possibly carry is just one compact system covering it all. In their last two projects, the duo tested the FUJIFILM X-H2S hybrid camera system without experiencing any other X-Series camera before. Therefore, having a totally unbiased approach towards the X-H2s and its performance.

They never shot with an X-Series camera before, they never shot a mountain bike movie before, and tested the camera to the fullest by putting it on an FPV drone.
