We finally put together a "Cheat Sheet" with a guideline and starting point to get the correct speed and distance on your Shukuma DOLLY. Keep this list in your gadget bag to make your life a whole lot easier when setting up a shot ;-)

I was playing around the other day and built this very basic speed controller that works on the Shukuma DOLLY and the Shukuma MINI - and it cost me less than R350.

WOW! I can't believe it's Easter... And this year has seen so much progression thus far.
I would like to inform you of a few important things as I was planning to do a few weeks ago already.  So lets not waste any more time ;-)

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!

Stock collection from all the various suppliers is underway and so the pulleys, motors & belts was collected yesterday.

On my return home I made an interesting little discovery and realised that the belt  I just picked up is not the same as the belt used in my prototype.  I immediately tried to fit the belt over the pulley and of course, it doesn’t fit 100% :-(
