The Swivl is an odd duck. When you first look at it you wonder what it’s for. But anyone who has given a speech or performed onstage will immediately appreciate this clever little device. The Swivl essentially follows you around the room as you speak, allowing you to record your video without a separate camera operator.

We tried the Swivl a few months ago and came away impressed. Now, the founders from Satarii hit our booth with an updated version designed for more professional cameras including DSLRs and even tablets.

The Swivl is now running a Kickstarter campaign for its new version and has already raised $137,000, which is $17,000 over their $120,000 goal.

Swivl is basically something you never knew you needed, which is pretty cool.
