The 'MOTUS' Smart Robot Cameraman Holds Your Phone and Tracks Action

The 'MOTUS' mount is capable of intelligently deciding whether the footage would benefit from zooming or a different angle and automatically adjusting to suit. The durable design of the smart robot cameraman makes it capable of withstanding the elements when used outside, while also sporting a lightweight design that's easily carried.

The 'MOTUS' mount works with a range of up to 200 feet and can update up to 50 times per second.
