I'm Paul Sloan with seen it we're here at CES and I'm talking to Brian lamb the founder of swivel swivel makes this incredible sort of robot camera tell us what it does well it's a personal cameraman in a mobile accessory what it does it makes it very easy for you to video yourself without the camera person there and what we found is that the camera person makes people nervous when they're on camera right these are flubbing lines or if they're swinging a golf club they missed the ball so this gives them a way to capture video without the normal emotions associated with it and show me I mean what are the features how does it work yep so it's got a panning functionality that constantly moving basically you can forget about it and it follows you around you can also frame yourself vertically so you can see that if you're short or tall you can get your video this brings remote controls so record start/stop still pictures as well as audio so it brings a microphone so totally cool what's the use case who needs it biggest response we got was youtubers on you know doing daily vlogs putting out content a regular basis but then we got a huge response from people in education real estate people doing video chat on a regular basis particularly multitasking if you're making dinner you want a video chat now you just throw this on you walk around the kitchen and now you can actually have a nice conversation in video chat there's a lot of really cool mainstream uses for it when is it available and how much does it cost we're available in the next couple months and it's a hundred fifty nine dollars you can reserve one on our site right now and when we first ship of course we'll be starting to take credit cards at that point thanks so much thank you I'm Paul Sloan with seen it here at CES you
