Swivl Camera Dock Will Automatically Track Your Movement
Like having your very own personal, portable camera man!
Have you ever found yourself wanting to record a silly video or take multiple photos only to realize you don't have any friends to hold the camera for you? Don't worry, the Swivl camera dock has got you covered! Swivl takes your iPhone, flip cam, or point-and-shoot camera and follows you wherever you go.
After a recording device is set on the dock, Swivl will then automatically track its marker unit through a wireless connection. Users simply have to hold or wear the marker device and the Swivl will follow. In addition to panning in a horizontal fashion, the Swivl dock can also track with a vertical tilt as well.
Originally a crowdfunding project over at Indiegogo, Swivl has succeeded in its funding campaign and will be available sometime in early 2012. The device is expected to cost approximately $160 USD and will be publicly presented at the upcoming CES 2012.

Cool idea. Don't think I'd ever have a use for it personally though..
Say bye bye to your iphone if you do that in a crowded area like LA airport.
Agree with posts above. Nice gizmo but too expencive. Heck, I'd rather invest (though pricier) into GigaPan model. At least some real use for your shots.. IMHO..
Still nice idea. Hopefully someone will come up with product that is not as twitchy on movement and good bit cheaper...
That's cool to keep an eye on babies..... and babes
Arduino anyone?
Yeah... I can't see this thing succeeding at a $160 price point. Very cool idea, but I would think closer to $50 would be more reasonable.
Ditch the camera. Go out and make a friend.
