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.
