iPhones are photography and video powerhouses. But shooting with a tripod means sticking with static shots, and handheld, well, looks handheld.

Ready to up your iPhone photography game? This motorized mount offers a bunch of new possibilities.

Picbot did gangbusters on Kickstarter, offering a smart platform that instantly expands photo and video options for iPhone.

The smart mount sits on any flat surface or atop any standard tripod, from which it can rotate smoothly in 360 degrees. It’s an ideal way to capture panoramic photos or time-lapse videos.

Even cooler, it integrates with Face ID, so that when you’re shooting a video, it will move smoothly to track up to three faces at once. It’s like having a photo assistant that you don’t have to pay or feed (just remember to check the batteries). Additionally, a remote Bluetooth controller lets you spin, adjust zoom, start and stop video capture, and more.
