The continuous panorama function on digital cameras and smartphones can create stunning photographs in the right hands. But to get that shot just right, those hands need to be steady. The Spinpod is a portable motion control unit that makes creating panoramas easier. Once a device is in position, users control the Spinpod via capacitive touch buttons and LED indicators with a series of presses and swipes. Panoramic mode includes the option to delay the rotation by 5, 10, or 15 seconds.
This is great for shooting panoramic selfies or to capture an otherwise uncapturable group shot around a table. In time-lapse mode the device turns (in tiny rotational steps of 0.05 degrees) at 0.5, 1, 2, 5 or 10 second intervals. It can be recharged via micro USB. The device also has adapters for holding smartphones horizontally or using small cameras.
Another clever feature is the ability to use multiple Spinpods (which can be attached with an L-bracket) to shoot pan and tilt time-lapse videos. The device can also be used as a passive sound amplifier or a dock for listening to music or making video calls. It works with the iPhone 4, iPhone 5, iPod to and most Android phones.
