Introducing the Shukuma MINI - the most affordable motorised time lapse dolly in South Africa!  Now everyone can add motion to their time lapse.

So much excitement and so much activities!!
From workshops, to fashion shoots, make-up sessions, student shoot-offs, retouching techniques, competitions and great specials all round, the 2012 Photo & Film Expo is an expo to be reckoned with.

OK, just a quick general update !!!

Before this hectic week at the 2012 Photo and Film Expo starts, I'd like to give you all an incite on a few things.

Firstly; the people that already own a Shukuma DOLLY, I am still trying to source limit switches with the right components in SA.

I was totally blown away a few minutes ago after I saw an article by a South African engineering company (whose name I will not yet reveal).  Apparently they "assisted" me in building and designing the Shukuma DOLLY.....!!!
They are one of my 21 suppliers for ONE item ONLY and are suppliers ONLY! They did not design or engineer a single thing for me, except to sell me an item that is being used on the dolly.

I would like to take this opportunity and let you ALL know it is NOT true and I WILL take this matter seriously and keep you posted.

WOW!! What a challenge this was to actually source and produce timelapse dollies in South Africa!!
With a lot of struggle, and I mean a lot of struggle, I can now only say WOW! 

I am so chuffed with these dolly bags and are really happy to finally see how they turned out!  Now you can carry your kit around with ease in one of these Shukuma DOLLY bags.

What a fantastic evening we had with all the Johannesburg photographers finally deciding to venture past the “Boerewors gordyn”!  And now all us Pretorians will feel much more included in this gang of Gauteng photographers.

I've just heard that my custom bags for the Shukuma DOLLY will be shipped today and it will be here before the end of the week!!  Big happy smile!

As you all know by now, the first 10 proud owners of the Shukuma dolly received their units and started playing with their kits.  We have a few small glitches that crept in but NOTHING that can not be fixed or overcome.

The first suggestion I have for you all is to change the RPM of the motor!

I picked up a small problem with some of the limit switches that's already been mailed / delivered.  All of them have been tested before packaging but it seems like a small problem still creeped in, despite the successful testing.  Some seems to not function properly.
