# Remote-Controlled Video Cameras The Shift Concept Camera is Designed for Viral Video Makers By Michael Hines | Published 2011-07-03 | Tech Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/shift-concept-camera References: [yankodesign](http://www.yankodesign.com/2011/07/01/micro-four-thirds-camera-brings-cinema-quality/) If I were a young filmmaker I would be all over Daniel Spönemann's Shift concept camera. The shift takes the Micro Four Thirds system to a whole new level, incorporating a unique frame that gives the user more control over the camera. Shift can be operated in a variety of ways, letting you get the perfect shot without the need for a tripod, chest harness or any other accessory. Movie-making newbies such as myself will appreciate the camera's touch-screen wireless controls that let you operate it from a distance. The quality and popularity of viral videos have both been on the rise in recent years. It won't be long before a new generation of filmmakers is demanding cheap and innovative tech such as the Shift concept camera. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.7/10 - Popularity: 49% | Activity: 85% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Tech](https://www.trendhunter.com/tech) > [Photography](https://www.trendhunter.com/photography) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Wireless Video Camera Control:** The shift concept camera demonstrates the demand for touch-screen wireless control, signaling a potential trend in video camera technology. - **Portable Camera Equipment:** The shift concept camera's control options suggest a trend in more portable, all-in-one camera equipment that could disrupt traditional camera technology. - **Social Media-ready Cameras:** The popularity of viral videos points to a trend in demand for cameras that are easy to use, portable, and optimized for social media sharing and could create new opportunities in the camera industry. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Professional Film and Video Production:** The control features of the shift concept camera could disrupt traditional video camera technologies and offer a new, more accessible tool for professional filmmakers. - **Consumer Electronics:** The demand for more portable and accessible camera technology could signal an opportunity for consumer electronics companies to innovate and create a new generation of products. - **Social Media Marketing:** The trend toward viral videos and social media optimization suggests a disruption in the marketing industry, with increased demand for optimized video content and strategies. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Content Creation Smartphone Accessories](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mobile-creator-gear.md) - [Magnetic Snap-On Cameras](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/snapgrip.md) - [DSLR-Like Vlogging Cameras](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/vlogger-camera.md) - [Micro-Sized Vlogging Cameras](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sony-vlog001.md) - [Blockish Multipurpose Action Cams](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/microsoft-lumia-action-cam.md) - [Easily Maneuvered Outdoor Cameras](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/duo-camera.md) - [Wire-Free Content Creator Cameras](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/allinone-live-broadcast-device.md) - [Accessible Vlogger Camera Models](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pro-camera-system.md) - [Quad-Lens GIF Cameras](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/moment-3d-camera.md)
