LAS VEGAS — Swivl is a personal robotic cameraman that’s smart enough to pan and tilt on its own, keeping whoever is holding its electronic marker in the frame.
As you see in the video, you mount an iOS device such as an iPhone to Swivl, and when you begin recording, Swivl will point your iPhone in just the right direction to frame you up in its shot, performing just like a human camera person.
That electronic marker not only tells Swivl where it should be pointing, but it has a microphone on board so your sound will be good no matter where you roam in the room.
We saw Swivl in action at CES 2012, and its movements are quite smooth — its ability to keep its subject in the frame is remarkably accurate — better than some human camera operators we’ve encountered.
Swivl‘s makers say and Android version is on the way, and this model is almost ready for mass production, available in the first quarter of this year for $159.
