New Robotic System for Cameras from Jigabot

For photography enthusiasts who also want to be in the camera frame while taking pictures, there’s some great news. A robotic device will now help them capture various angles without manual handling. Does it get tiresome for you to constantly hold the heavy camera and stand in one place while shooting? Well, with a new innovation, all these problems will come to an end for many photographers.

Robots to help click a variety of snaps


Robots come in various forms, sometimes they are similar to humans and sometimes they help you complete day to day chores. Recently, a company, Jigabot, has come up with a robot system AIMes. This robotic innovation will help you mount cameras onto it which will allow the camera to track movement in shots. This brilliant innovation will help you stay in the frame rather than stand behind the camera. All you have to do is wear an IR sensor which is dedicated, called EmIT. This will allow the mount on the standard tripod, which is motorized, do all the work. This motorized mount is about the size of a small water bottle.

The robotic motorized mount can trace the sensor up to 150 feet away. The mount can tilt vertically at 120 degrees and rotate horizontally at 360 degrees. If you want to capture different angles at a huge set up, then the motorized mount will help you tremendously. The EmIT sensor is able to be traced by various AIMes.

The possibilities…


With the help of the AIMes, parents can take multiple pictures of their children playing around and they can actually be in the snap with their kids. Also, parents can use this to capture their children playing football as it can take multiply shots from various angles, even at a distance. Many professional sportspeople may also be interested in this robotic mount as it will help them capture their every move, so that they can be monitored for analysis later. This innovation will help sports professionals see how they’re playing, what exactly they’re doing, where they are going wrong and how they can better their game. A static camera is incapable of capturing every single movement, so this is a huge step in the field of photography.

The last note


It has been reported that the first version of the AIMes will need a proper line of sight to work, but the company, Jigabot, is already progressing on another version of the robotic mount that won’t require a line of sight. The innovation is to be launched commercially from June 2014 and the entire kit with the EmIT and various kinds of mounts is likely to cost around $299.

Technology and photography enthusiasts are definitely waiting with bated breath for the robotic mount to hit the stores.
