Trying to film yourself can be tricky if you need to walk around while recording. Your video will look shaky and blurry! But a new phone stand from Belkin solves this problem in a cool way.
The Belkin Auto-Tracking Stand Pro lets you move freely while it follows you and keeps you centered in the shot. It uses your phone’s camera to track your face and body. This means whether you’re pacing back and forth or gesturing with your hands, the stand will smoothly pivot and tilt to keep you framed properly.
Here’s how it works: Just pop your iPhone onto the stand using MagSafe. No apps needed – it connects right to your phone. Then the stand’s motorized base kicks in as you film or do video calls. It can pivot 360 degrees horizontally and tilt 90 degrees vertically so your movement stays smooth on camera.
When you’re done, the stand doubles as a wireless charger too. MagSafe quickly refuels your iPhone battery with up to 15 watts of power. A built-in battery powers the tracking for around 5 hours of use away from an outlet.
At $179.99, the Auto-Tracking Stand Pro isn’t cheap but could be worth it for professions like YouTube creators or teachers who film lessons. Pre-orders open later this month, only for iPhones currently. Belkin says an Android version may come if phone makers add the needed wireless charging tech.
For now, iPhone owners get the cool benefit of hands-free tracking as they present, demonstrate, or move around on camera thanks to Belkin’s innovative new Auto-Tracking Stand Pro. No more shaky selfie videos – just smooth tracking to keep you front and center of every shot!
