Satarii is a small San Francisco startup trying to get a super cool iPhone video accessory off the ground.
The Satarii Star is a tracking device that follows your every move while shooting video. Just set the iPhone in the cradle and put the tracking device in your pocket. When you move, the tracking cradle swivels around to keep you in the frame. It’s a super clever idea and looks to work pretty well. See the video below (the fun starts a few seconds in).

The two founders are still in the garage and working on turning their working (but ugly) prototype into a real product. They’re running a crowdfunding campaign on IndieGoGo, with lots of interest so far
“With our campaign we will be delivering the first systems in 4-6 months to the supporters,” says co-founder Vladimir Tetelbaum. “Full retail launch is planned by the end of this year.”
