06 — THE GEAR SHOP

Restocked. Not one-off.

Camera & camcorder accessories — cases, cables, capture cards, adapters. Unlike the one-off shop below, these get restocked as we bring on suppliers.

💛 Sourced to be affordable

We try to source every item here as affordably as possible, without cutting corners on quality — good gear shouldn't be out of reach. More items get added as we bring on new suppliers.

07 — THE ONE-OFF SHOP

One of one. Once it's sold, it's sold.

Hand-engraved pieces and one-of-one cameras, sold as single items — no restocks, no duplicates. New drops posted here first.

  • Every purchase includes (for cameras)SD card reader + info sheet
  • Warranty2 weeks

10 — THE STORY

Two loves. One place.

Yami Cam is what happens when motorbikes and cameras collide. Founder Clarissa built it around one idea — meet new people, share what she's into, and see where it goes.

It started at 20, staring down two roads: a business-minded route with less fun, or a fun, creative route with less certainty. She picked both. Whatever she's building — an engraved tank, a tapeless camcorder, a pop-up table — she brings her A-game, builds what she loves, and shares it with everyone.

Clarissa's 2017 Yamaha R3, the bike Yami Cam is named after

Yami is named after this — Clarissa's 2017 Yamaha R3.

Right now that's phase one — custom engraving, custom tapeless camcorder builds, photo & video coverage, the gear shop, and one-off camera sales, all out on the road at pop-ups. Phase two — the workshop room, the photo & video studio, and the café — lands once we find a permanent home. Follow the pop-ups to stay in the loop.

Download Zine Sheet

How to fold your zine

  1. Print the sheet single-sided, landscape.
  2. Fold in half lengthwise (top edge to bottom edge), then unfold.
  3. Fold in half widthwise (right edge to left), then unfold.
  4. Fold in half widthwise again, then unfold completely — 8 panels visible.
  5. Cut along the centre horizontal line, middle two columns only.
  6. Fold lengthwise again, then push the left and right edges toward each other — the slit pops open into a plus shape.
  7. Collapse the panels into a stack — the cover lands on top.

FUN & USEFUL

Fancy Font Generator.

Type anything and get it back in a dozen+ copy-paste text styles — bold, script, gothic, bubble, upside down, and more. Real Unicode characters, so they paste correctly anywhere.

Works anywhere text pastes — bios, captions, texts, product titles.

Black & white emojis, symbols, and kaomoji — tap one to copy instantly, or tap a few to build a combo and copy them all at once.

FUN & USEFUL

Invisible Character.

Copy a character that looks like nothing — useful for blank usernames, empty form fields, or sending a "blank" message where a normal space isn't allowed.

Tap a card to copy — each uses a different invisible Unicode character, so pick another if one gets rejected somewhere.

Image Converter.

Convert an image to a different format and download it — 100% in your browser, nothing uploaded anywhere.

Heads up — camera RAW formats (RAF, ARW, CR2, CR3, CRW, DCR, DNG, ERF, MRW, NEF, ORF, PEF, RW2, 3FR, X3F), HEIC, PSD, and TIFF can't be decoded by a web browser — that genuinely needs desktop software or a server, not a privacy claim we can fake here. Those formats are shown greyed out above rather than pretending to support them.
