This strange, rollerskating octopus? It’s a GorillaPod dolly for photographers and cinematographers as well as a time lapse photography tool that not only allows fluid camera movement around a subject (think Matrix-style bullet time), but have wheels that are smartly marked for time lapse photography, allowing you to move them a specific amount every frame. It works with any camera, including the iPhone.
Cineskate’s maker, Justin Jensen, is trying to get the project off the ground over at Kickstarter. A $150 pledge will get you one.
