Serene Automation, the maker of Roboshoot remote triggers for Fujifilm cameras, has announced that the company is “temporarily suspending operations.”

Too bad… I know there are quite some Fujifilm shooters out there, who love the Roboshoot triggers. It’s a great product (with great customer support), but if you read FR regualary, you will have noticed that in the latest months a lot has happened in the Fujifilm flash world… and I guess that this had some impact on Serene Automation.

Let’s hope they will find a way to keep it up.

Full Announcement:

“[via webpage] We are transitioning! As of August 7th 2017 Serene Automation LLC is temporarily suspending operations. We expect to be back in the near future. In the mean time, special thanks goes out to all our great customers and supporters!”

[via facebook] Still trying to figure out the best way forward. For now operations are fully suspended, but we hope to change that in the not to distant future.

Cascable just released a major update that adds new features (such as geotagging) and support for Fujiflm cameras (JPEG only… not Fujifilm RAF support).

And while we are waiting for Fujifilm to improve their own app, check out this iTunes link (or full details below) to see what you can do with the Cascable Remote Control App.

Earlier this year, on January 21, Fujifilm launched the first “Fujikina” event in Kyoto, Japan. On that event, Fujifilm also announced the Fujifilm GFX and more.

Well, Fujifilm just officially announced a new Fujikina event, this time in Toyko on September 7, 2017. If you want, you can sign-up now for the event.

And if Fujifilm does it like last time, also this one could be a nice event to finally unveil to the world new gear, such as the rumored X-E3, XF80 Macro, the GF 45mm and maybe even more.

And don’t worry, if you can’t go to the event, FujiRumors will be the one place where to be, to get virtually as close to the event as possible… your window to Fujikina 2017!
