Like the eyes of a creepy painting, the Swivl follows you around the room

Swivl is a neat little camera stand which will follow you around the room. It consists of two parts: the motorized stand itself, and a remote marker. The stand "sees" the marker and two motors -- tilt and spin -- move to follow it.

It works with any camera that has a tripod mount. Just hold the marker or clip it to your clothes and the camera will follow your every move. Examples are recording yourself doing sports or playing with the kids, or chatting on video calls and wandering around as you do it.

If you slide an iPhone into the mount, then there are extras. Plug in the charging cable and you'll also be able to start and stop the video recorder using the marker.

It's pretty neat, and it will be ready to buy early next year for $160.
