I’m very lucky to have met Robert Haleluk who offered to help out with some advice about getting HiLO Lens off the ground. Robert knows a lot about building iPhone accessories because he is the inventor of the iShuttr. He also knows a lot about crowdfunding on Kickstarter because he successfully funded the Dipr project on Kickstarter.

It is great motivation meeting entrepreneurs, they are always passionate about their projects. But Robert’s story is particularly inspiring, an entrepreneur from day one might be the shortest summary! I am sure we will see many more successful projects from Robert.

iShuttr is a case for iPhone, providing a physical camera button, real flash, external battery and zoom controls. It is beautifully designed and the importance of this for iPhoneographers can’t be underestimated.

Dipr started as a fun project and has taken on a life of it’s own. Dipr holds a sandwich cookie for dunking. It goes to show that solving simple problem with well designed solution is a path to success.
