Support Channel / 135 Canister / Silver Hotshoes / GRID NANO

Support Channel

Since beginning RAMA WORKS, I’ve always wanted to handle everything myself as everyone must receive the same care and attention. Over these few years, I’ve personally answered over 8000 support tickets (and the typical 4 level chains within) on top of those that emailed me directly. Ongoing, this hasn’t been sustainable and has prevented me from doing things to run the company in its full capacity and to work on making new products. As of yesterday, we’ve brought on a new member to work on our support channel and handle those requests. We’ve currently disabled Facebook Chat and not actively replying on Instagram/Twitter at our full capacity as it’s been overbearing - we will train up and have the ability for these channels in the following months. Previously, personally handling support emails, there are many people I have interacted with and love chatting to. With new personnel on board, we will not tolerate any disrespect or harassment towards our team members - at the end of the day, we want to do whatever we can to resolve an issue and make sure everyone is happy. We appreciate everyone’s patience and are excited for what’s to come for the rest of the year as I have more time to allocate in what I enjoy. I will continue to focus more effort in supporting this update blog whenever possible! 💛

135 Canister / Silver Hotshoes

With the Film Canisters / Hotshoes, we thought that we had received all units in the first shipment. Unfortunately, this was not the case. With the reduced transit/freight flights, we’ve had to space out our shipments as there’s a newly introduced weight limit with some carriers in reducing the amount of air-freight you can send at a time. So we’re receiving items in batches. The first batch was the all the 120 (4U) canisters, and we’ve shipped out all of those orders. We’ve shipped around 60% of the 135 (2U) canisters and are expecting to receive the second batch in about two weeks where we will swiftly pack and send them as soon as they arrive. The same case with the hotshoes, all KURO units have shipped and are expecting to receive the MIST hotshoes by the end of the week or early next. Some orders may have had the shipping labels already printed, and have received a ship notification - as soon as the extra 135 canisters arrived and are picked up by DHL, you’ll receive an email from DHL 🤗

Rama Works x MIGHTYKILLERS® Photography Accessories - Development

135 Film 2U Canister

After receiving feedback from MIGHTYKILLERS® on the 2U prototype of the film canister, we’ve made some adjustments that we think will make it ready for market. We’re currently waiting on the second round of prototypes for review. We’ve added a new closure system to the top lid to make it quicker and more satisfying to open and close the film canister lids. Instead of the previous twist-lock cap, we’re utilizing our new pushbutton cam-lock that will snap the lid in when simply pushing it into the enclosure.

Here is what the Rama Works - Pushbutton cam-lock mechanism looks like.

Past this, we’re looking to introduce a new material / edition to the lineup. Mirror-Polished Aluminium. This edition will beautifully wear as used, giving itself character and stories over time. We’ve also increased the specifications on the black-anodised film canister to be a Military Spec Type III hard-anodising - this will increase it’s strength and resistance to scratches and wear.

Here are some images from MIGHTYKILLERS® of the round 1 prototype!

We’re excited to be showing some of the work for the design we have created for PARVUM SYSTEMS. We will be creating a prototype for them and we will reveal more details to follow once tested. All panels are machined from Aluminium.

MIGHTYKILLERS

We’ve been wanting to do camera accessories for a long time now, and a great opportunity came up with someone we’ve been following for a while with MIGHTYKILLERS. We have designed for them a series of accessories that we look forward to releasing to the market. To be released: 135 Dual Film Canister, 120 Quad Film Canister, Soft Release & a Cold Shoe Cover.
