Pivoting Camera Accessories

The Edelkrone Wing Creates Smooth Camera Movements

— August 24, 2016 — Tech
The Edelkrone Wing is an affordable way for amateur videographers and prosumers of all sorts to get professional-looking shots. The small, hinged device attaches to any tripod and swivels across a central axis when operated, using precise, CNC-crafted gears to keep the lens facing the same direction while the camera moves horizontally.

The device effectively mimics the function of a slider while costing a fraction of the price and folding up to a size barely larger than a smartphone. Its small size shouldn't fool anyone, though -- the Edelkrone Wing is made from solid aluminum and stainless steel. Weighing in at 1.2 pounds, the device can hold a 3.3. pound camera when fully extended.

The manually operated device also has a friction control dial that allows consumers to control the speed of their tracking shot without having to worry about jerkiness.
Trend Themes
1. Affordable Camera Accessories - There is a growing opportunity for companies to develop cost-effective camera accessories that can create professional-looking shots for amateur videographers and prosumers.
2. Compact Camera Support Devices - The demand for small and portable camera support devices is increasing, creating an opportunity for businesses to create smaller versions of traditional camera stabilizers and sliders.
3. Manual Camera Accessories - There is a market for manually operated camera accessories with friction control that allow consumers to control the speed and motion of their tracking shots without jerkiness.
Industry Implications
1. Photography Equipment - The photography equipment industry can benefit from developing affordable and portable camera accessories that can create professional-looking shots for consumers.
2. Film and Video Production - Film and video production companies can utilize compact and manually operated camera accessories to streamline their shooting process while reducing costs.
3. Consumer Electronics - Consumer electronics companies can expand their offerings by creating compact and affordable camera support devices that can improve the video camera experience for everyday users.
