Motion Tracking iPhone Dock Keeps Video On-Point

by

swivlThe Swivl is an iPhone dock that uses motion tracking to swivel the phone -- and thus the front-facing camera -- to follow your every move, both horizontally and vertically. It also comes with a wireless remote to control the camera and start-and-stop recording, useful for video-bloggers.

The Swivl can be used for a number of different tasks. Need a video of you skateboarding but have no cameraman? Or sick of holding the phone up to make FaceTime calls? The Swivl is for you:


Even better, the Swivl doesn't just work with the iPhone -- it works with any tripod mountable video camera.

The Swivl is available for pre-order for $159.99, and is set to launch early next year.

It may be digital tracking with zoom but there is no way it just moves by itself. Does it hover. Come on man
