The Garage-Built Gadget Every iPhone Video Addict Needs
Every now and then, an idea comes along that springs from a garage and turns into gold. Such will hopefully be the case for the Satarii Star Accessory, a truly innovative idea that makes one wonder, “Why didn’t Apple build this already?”
The idea is simple: a base that rotates 360 degrees to follow someone or something, allowing a mounted camera or smartphone to capture video without an unsteady hand at the helm. By using a hand-held or mountable marker, the base follows the target to create a steady video.
The applications are limitless. Parents can take videos of their children playing while actually playing with their children (a challenge that parents out there are very familiar with). Hands-free Facetime. Self-shot action sports. Presentations. The list could go on indefinitely.
Having reached their goal of $20,000 in funding through Indiegogo, we hope that this device hits stores soon. Check it out:
Didn’t you see the pictures in the video? You can use any camera for this thing. The base works independantly from the camera device. It is, therefore, very android compatible! Pretty darn cool!
Brilliant! What a great idea. They gotta make different mounts for different cameras, so it’s not just mobile phone specific.
Oh yeah, I’d definitely buy some overpriced low quality Brookstone product in a mall over Apple’s equally overpriced and clearly inferior junk. /s
Simple questions deserve simple answers:
Apple didn’t build it yet, because no one built it before them yet.
Now that someone has, Apple will probably do one.
And take full credit.
With a little luck, rather than that little evil event occurring, maybe Brookstone or SkyMall will pick up on this guy and make them an offer.
Really cool, do you have information regarding pricing or anything?
