Review on Stabilizer Rotation Tracking Hands Free Shooting Camera & Photo and Video by Patrick Burton

Cameraman to Go - Stabilizers

The Capture Genie is the perfect little video tracking device when you don't have or need a cameraman. enough to hold your iPhone or Android phone, and comes with a charging cable - you'll need a block or USB connector to plug it in. It needs to be charged once opened, but it charges fairly quickly, so it's a plus if you have to shoot a lot and can't afford long downtime. After charging, you can place your device in the Capture Genie Holder, which is durable yet gentle on your phone, with plenty of space to protect your various devices. Thickness in both landscape and portrait is a plus! I'm not sure you can stick an iPad in and get it working. I have to study that more closely. Before use, you need to download the included app, which you can easily access by scanning the QR code on the included quick start booklet. From there, it's basically plug and play: turn on Bluetooth on your device, turn on Capture Genie, and open the app on your phone. Let the shooting begin. It works as described. It can even work to track you during a live stream! The only reason I only gave four stars is because I suspect I'll have to spend a lot of time learning the ins and outs of the app to get the best and most out of it. It would be nice to have more written information about how the application works. I will need some time to study this. If you want to learn how to get the most out of it, I recommend this video product for your subject tracking needs.
