TL;DR: Turn your phone into a hands-free camera for photos and video with the 360° Rotation Smart AI Object Tracking Gimbal for $39.99, a 69% savings as of July 6.


As you scroll through your Instagram feed, it always seems like somehow everyone has their own personal photographer. While that may or may not be true, it is definitely discouraging — especially after seeing your own shoddy self-timer snaps. It doesn’t have to be that way, though. This hands-free 360° Robo Smart Gimbal can really up your Instagram game without you having to ask someone for help, which may be especially helpful for those in physical isolation.

The Robo Smart Gimbal uses AI tracking technology to automatically recognize your face and follow you wherever you go. Sure, that sounds creepy, but it just means you’ll never be out of focus in your shots. It swivels 360 degrees while tracking your motions, so you can snap creative photos with movement, without the need for a cameraman, or potentially create the next viral YouTube video of 2020. Or live out your newfound dream of being a TikTok star. You know — whatever floats your boat.

It’s super easy to use, too. Just insert two AA batteries into the gimbal and slide your phone onto the grips. Then turn on Bluetooth and connect to the APAI GENIE app. Once connected, you can shoot for hours until you get the perfect shot or take. Oh, and once your face is detected, it’ll start taking photos or videos automatically at a fixed time of three seconds with no extra work from you. It’s like having your own personal photo-taking robot. The only downside is you’ll have to be your own hype-man.

Regularly, this Smart AI Object Tracking Gimbal costs $129.95, but you can save nearly 70% and grab it for only $39.99. That’s much cheaper than hiring a personal photographer.
