Saw this TimeOut Malaysia magazine. The theme of the issue attracted me – Shopping & Services 2011.

Flipping through the magazine and one section caught my attention: Great online buys

Since my business – www.shashinki.com is very much to do with this title, so I was just curious what websites will they cover.

As usual…saw some familiar names being mentioned: ebay.com.my, lelong.com.my…etc. Then, to my surprised, I saw ShaShinKi.com too!

There the blow up…

Got some free time during this Raya holiday, so managed to do some clean up @ ShaShinKi store.

There are 3 major update that you will see on the shop front page, and several minor ones (for you to discover).

Clean Up 1 – Search Box @ Header

I have wanted this for a long time, finally able to do the codes and make the move. The old search box is at the upper right column, which has now been removed as I want to make the right column shorter with less items there.

Clean Up 2 – Top Menu

This should be a minor one, just doing some cleaning and tidying work. Not perfect yet until I figured out what to do next.

Clean Up 3 – Used Corner

ShaShinKi Used Corner is getting hotter and hotter, so I figured it would be good to put a dedicated BOX to promote our USED Corner so that it gives more exposure and better visibility to the products that YOU consigned with us.

• http://shashinki.com/shop/-c-26.html

There are some other cleaning work that has been done like tidying up pages, changing some colours of tables…etc. One that worth mention is the Shopping Guides at ShaShinKi, which has been updated with our latest look and design.

• http://shashinki.com/shop/guides.php 

Thank you for dropping by and we hope these minor updates can make your shopping experience @ ShaShinKi a better one!

The first thing that people will ask (especially in Malaysia) when talking about online shopping is…CAN TRUST OR NOT!

Noticed that I did not use ? but !, because those who asked this question are actually already set their mind to “CANNOT TRUST Lah!“. They are not seeking for answer, not asking a question but TELLING YOU what they think (Cannot Trust).

Online shopping in Malaysia is still relatively new. Thanks to AirAsia, most have to force to learn to shop online, at least to grab the so called “Free ticket“. AirAsia have managed to kick start online shopping experience in Malaysia since their first launch in early 2000, but that’s not enough. AirAsia is a big company, so people trusted them. How about other online shop?

ShaShinKi – the First & Largest Online Camera Shop! (in Malaysia lah…)

From time to time, I receive phone call and email from potential customers asking what if they paid but never receive the goods that they ordered. Can they trust ShaShinKi? Guest what…I told them NOT to trust me, but google for ShaShinKi and see what others are saying about ShaShinKi.

• http://www.google.com.my/search?q=shashinki

Of course, I also told them who am I (Dr. KOH Kho King). Hahaa…you might ask…who are you?! (“in shout mode”)

I am Dr. KOH Kho King

1. Co-founder of Photo Malaysia (www.photomalaysia.com) – First & Largest Online Photography Community! (We have Canon, Schmidt, Futuromic, Shriro, etc. big companies in Malaysia advertising with us)
2. Founder of Fotolah (www.fotolah.com) – Fastest growing Chinese Photography Forum in Malaysia!
3. Founder of PentaxWorld.com (www.pentaxworld.com) – International Pentax Forum.
4. Founder of BlogMalaysia.com (www.blogmalaysia.com) – Largest blog directory in Malaysia with over 10k members!

If the above still not enough, then take a look (detail study) at ShaShinKi website.

ShaShinKi.com – How much does it worth?

Malaysia’s First & Largest Online Camera Shop!

http://shashinki.com

We are the FIRST and LARGEST Online Camera Shop in Malaysia! Started in Dec 2005, we have been in the business for more than 4 years with lots of satisfied customers! We have nearly 5000 active products online, over 20k customers, very detail and smooth shopping system!

ShaShinKi has been in the business for more than 4 years, and we are the distributor of many big brands in the market (Domke, Maha PowerEx, Photo Clam, Phottix…etc.).

How much do you think that worth? A rotten egg (cheating) can easily spoil the whole pot of soup, and we will not let that happen to us and crashing the reputation and brand name that we have built.

Still worry?

• http://www.facebook.com/shashinki

Affiliates, we have lots of them!

We have lots of Affiliates that advertise for us too! If you happened to see ShaShinKi’s banner at some blogs, facebook, personal website, most probably those are our Affiliates. They earn commission by introducing customers to ShaShinKi, most of them are actual satisfied customers of ShaShinKi!

We are serious in the business, and we know how important and valuable our customers’ data are.

Not to mention that ShaShinKi is served from a dedicated dual Xeon processor server located in Malaysia too! (costs us $$$ every month to rent the server)

So What? you might say…

We spent lots of money in building up our brand, our reputation. Just like AirAsia.

In cyberworld, domain name is everything. It is the most worthy part of an online shop. An online shop can try to cheat their customers, but that can’t last long. Words will be spread easily (especially in online world, where everybody got their FB, blog, twitter now).

Try us once, I am sure you will love the convenience of the internet!

Did some cleaning work at home…sitting in front of the computer till 5am (Friday night ~ Sat morning)…continued some tidying stuff on Saturday and it is finally done.

No, not house cleaning, not physical shop cleaning, but my online shop – www.shashinki.com – cleaning. I remember a saying: the design of your shop is DONE on the day you decided to close it. There will always be improvement and modification work that you need to do from time to time. How very true from the day I start up ShaShinKi (Dec 2005), the work has never been completed and my job is never stopping.

You might not notice any difference at ShaShinKi.com, it is just some minor clean up work and tidying job, making browsing and shopping more pleasant. If you have noticed it, thank you! (You must be a frequent visitor or customer to ShaShinKi!) (Or…you are a dealer from another shop? No problem and you can contact us for cooperation. We do supply things to many other dealers in Malaysia. )

There are many more work to be done…and will be done. Do not hesitate to contact us at shop@shashinki.com if you found any bugs or room for improvement. Thanks ya!

The Free Gift…

Yes, you can find ShaShinKi’s advertisement inside the magazine too!

There is an interesting write-up on Maha charger in the NewGear section!

I found one…then I found a bunch! I found Photo Clam, then a series of professional ballhead!

Photo Clam – A name not to be forgotten in the photography industry. They create ballheads, GREAT ballheads! They are new, started in year 2007, but quickly gained their good name and reputation in the internet due to their product quality.

Know the Naming System

Photo Clam use ball diameter as the model naming / number of their ballhead. Photo Clam PC-33NS means that it has 33mm diameter ball, PC-36NS means it has 36mm diameter ball, PC-54NS means that it has 54mm diameter ball. I find this naming system to be very easy to remember and easy to differentiate the size and capability of each ballhead, since Photo Clam has quite a wide range. Some ballhead has same load capacity, but if the ball is bigger than the other, then it will have smoother operation when a same load is being carried.

N or NS?

You might notice that some Photo Clam ballheads have N ending at the model name, while some have NS ending at the model name. The difference / meaning is simple. The NS means with spirit level built in, while N has no spirit level built in. ShaShinKi imports all Photo Clam ballheads with spirit level built in (except PC-33N which there is only one offering without spirit level by Photo Clam).

Arca Swiss Quick Release System

All Photo Clam ballheads use Arca Swiss Quick Release System in the ballheads design. This is the professional preferred system due to the security it offers. All Photo Clam ballheads have safety pin on the Arca Swiss QR system, to prevent the quick release (QR) plate from being fall off accidentally. The safety pin can catch and stop the plate from sliding out in both direction.

In the picture above, I have actually loosen up the knob of the clamp, and the plate stop sliding forward and caught by the safety pin.

Below below shows an QR plate attached to the bottom of a camera.

This is a general purpose plate, Photo Clam PC-52-UP2, which can be used for camera or lenses. The good thing about the design of Photo Clam plate is that the screw has a coin accessible thread, which can be used to lock and unlock the plate easily! The plate attached firmly to the camera once locked.

There are two dovetails on Photo Clam plates, which can be used as hole for hand strap to tie over it. Handy!

Photo Clam PC-52-UP2 has 4 pieces of rubber on the plate, making sure that the plate does not rotate once tighten.

Photo Clam PC-36NS

I took a Photo Clam PC-36NS ballhead for reviewing. It is the middle size in Photo Clam ballhead series (smallest ballhead is PC30N, biggest is PC-74NS), which is a very popular model.

the Size?

A ballhead that is able to withstand 30kg load…Let’s see the size of the PC-36NS sitting next to a Canon EOS 40D camera.

Smaller than the size of my palm.

Using it?

I am not sure if there is a black and white manual telling one how to use a ballhead. Not that I have read any, but below is how I prefer to put my ballhead as.

Plate knob underneath the camera on the right, while ballhead lock / unlock knob on the left. Pan lock knob pointing towards the photographer. With this orientation, I can have my right hand on the camera, composing the camera and finger ready to press the shutter release, while my left hand on the lock / unlocking knob.

Some might prefer the following orientation, no right or wrong I guess, just your own preference.

Friction Control

Notice a little tiny screw on the big locking knob in the ballhead (photo below)? That is friction control Friction control on Photo Clam PC-36NS ballhead allows adjustment of the “tightness” of the ball even when the locking knob of the ballhead is set to loose (Zero on the red marking). Photo Clam use a highly visible red labeling for their friction control marking, which is definitely a thoughtful design. What’s the marking for you may asked. Personally I find it handy as if I knew that I can lock my Canon EOS 40D with 18-55mm lens at turning till 5 marking, then I don’t have to turn till 7 every time. If I knew that an EOS 40D with 70-200mm F2.8 lens would need to turn to 8 to lock it tight, then I won’t turn till 5 and stop there. Different practice for different people, some might not even look at the numbers…but I think it is good to have rather than missing it.

When a heavier load is being carried, friction control will allow precise adjustment to ensure that the ball does not loose up too much (dropped) or too tight.

Panning Base

There is a separate screw that is being used to lock / unlock the panning base of Photo Clam ballhead. Photo Clam call it Panning-fix knob.

Once locked, the base will not move. It locks securely and firmly. This is extremely useful especially when you lock your equipment onto the ballhead and carry the whole system on tripod over your shoulder. You would not want the panning base to loosen up and turn, causing your equipment to hit something. Kudos to Photo Clam for creating a secure panning base.

Spirit Level

I have seen many ballhead makers put a spirit level on the top of the quick release system, which I find inconvenient to use. Once your camera or lens is on the QR system, you can’t see the spirit level anymore. Again another thoughtful design of Photo Clam to put the spirit levels (yes, s because it is plural with 2 spirit levels) at the side of the Arca Swiss Quick Release System.

The Ball?!

This should be one of the most important part in a ballhead. The BALL!

There is NO OIL on Photo Clam ball. Yes, oil free and no greasy thingy on your fingers when you accidentally touched it. I didn’t get the technical data of Photo Clam technology, but I believe they use Teflon coating on the ball or / and the housing to ensure smooth while still oil free operation. You won’t believe how smooth it is until you have tried one.

See the ball above! Matted colour ball with no oil, not a single drop. (Warning: Do not outsmart and drop oil onto the ball!)

Conclusions

There are similar quality products in the market, but is either too expensive or / and with some weakness. Photo Clam, being the latest professional ballhead in the market, founder who is a photographer himself, created Photo Clam to offer professional quality ballhead to the general consumer to be able to enjoy the fun of tripod + ballhead photography without breaking the bank!

If you have not tried one, loan one from your friend! If you have not owned one…what are you waiting for?!

Where to buy?

Where else? Your online camera shop! ShaShinKi is the distributor of Photo Clam in Malaysia, bringing Photo Clam directly to you at an affordable price!

Passover is one of the most important incident for all who believes in God. Christians believe the old testament in the Bible as well, how God saves His people from Egypt.

Passover 2009 is from 8th ~ 16th April 2009. To remember this season, I have designed an unique banner for ShaShinKi logo. It has been a long time that I did not do this festival / season logo design. Thank God, I got the simple idea to just paint the blood over the door of ShaShinKi, in remembrance of the Bible teaching. Personally I quite like this design, simple but delivering the message clearly.

In Bible:

PASSOVER
Exodus 12:5 Your lamb shall be without blemish, a male of the first year: ye shall take it out from the sheep, or from the goats: Exodus 12:6 And ye shall keep it up until the fourteenth [14th] day of the same month [Nisan 14]: and the whole assembly of the congregation of Israel shall kill it in the evening [of Nisan 14]. Exodus 12:7 And they shall take of the blood, and strike it on the two side posts and on the upper door post of the houses, wherein they shall eat it. Exodus  12:12 For I will pass through the land of Egypt this night [Nisan 14], and will smite all the firstborn in the land of Egypt, both man and beast; and against all the gods of Egypt I will execute judgment: I am the LORD. Exodus 12:13 And the blood shall be to you for a token upon the houses where ye are: and when I see the blood, I will pass over you, and the plague shall not be upon you to destroy you, when I smite the land of Egypt. Exodus 12:14 And this day [Nisan 14] shall be unto you for a memorial; and ye shall keep it a feast to the LORD throughout your generations; ye shall keep it a feast by an ordinance for ever.

Thank God for the salvation, thank God for his almighty.

Last week has been a hectic week for me. The recent slow internet connection of Streamyx to oversea server (especially US servers) has brought forward my plan of migrating the data of my USA server back to Malaysia.

There were over 11GB of data that needs to be transferred, for ShaShinKi.com alone. With the slow internet connections, it is quite impossible for me to use FTP or even SSH to do the data transfer via Streamyx line.

With the assistance from my Malaysia server provider (www.ipserverone.com), all ShaShinKi data was migrated successfully! Lee and Lee (Kenji) from IPServerOne have been of great help, assisting without asking for a cent! I have a dedicated server with them, but that does not warrant this kind of support from them. They do it volunteeringly, which really touches my heart. My server provider in USA on the other hand is money minded. Unmanaged server. Server rental cost has increased for at least 2 times, over 50% increment in the last 3 years. I can get a Intel Xeon powered server with RAID setting from IPServerOne for the money I paid to my US server provider.

Did I mention how fast is the server I have with IPServerOne now? Yes, VERY FAST! Accessing files on my server is like accessing files on my local hard drive (Ok, maybe a little slower). This is miles improvement as comparing to accessing my files on my USA server. My e-commerce site (http://shashinki.com) now flies! Yes, even on the slowmix line!

Photo / picture loading time has been extremely fast and smooth as well. I am glad that I have made the migration earlier, though the USA server I have paid the rental till Oct 2009 (can’t get back the money), but still it is better for me to move now than later.

I still have some of my sites in my USA server, eg. PentaxWorld.com. As that is an international site with members mostly from oversea, so I think it is better for us to continue having it on my USA server than moving it to Malaysia. Perhaps after Oct 2009, before the next bill of my USA server.

Hope you enjoy the fast loading speed of ShaShinKi.com!

I did a simple Christmas 2008 banner design for ShaShinKi today.

Initially it is just a plain .png file. Later I changed it to jpeg for better web compatibility, later I decided to add some snow animation to it…

Here’s the final version:

File size is 160kb, I hope it is not of too much burden for Malaysia internet speed to load…

Merry Christmas! Christ is born!
