Some of you may harbor the desire to create videos of yourselves in the process of committing shenanigans of various sorts, and this always implies a certain amount of logistics. For one, whether these are acts of skillful sporting display, or simply running around while flailing your arms, you’ll usually need a second person to pan the camera to keep you in the shot. The Soloshot removes the need for that friend. It’s a robotic camera base on which you can mount any recording device with a tripod mount, and which then follows your movements thanks to a wireless transmitter armband. “It can rotate at speeds of up to 40ยบ per second all the way around, and can track subjects up to 2000 feet away moving at speeds up to 140 mph.”
Replacing your friends with a robotic device doesn’t come cheap. The Soloshot is $480, but has the extra advantage of not judging you every single time you fail that jump.

is a handy little keychain sized gadget to use with your iPhone. The compact design has a magnetic ball to pivot your phone to virtually any angle. The bottom is a grippy material to keep it in place and since it’s magnetic it will also stick to any metallic surface. It works not only as a tripod but also as a small stand- great for airplane tray tables and small enough to keep on your keychain or toss in your bag.
