■Lock on the subject
Thanks to Apple DockKit’s advanced subject detection and tracking algorithms, Belkin Stand Pro accurately predicts your subject’s movement and keeps it in the frame. 360 degree horizontal rotation and 90 degree vertical angle adjustment allows for shooting from any angle. iPhone’s amazing camera performance allows you to track not only what’s right in front of you, but also from a distance. In addition, since both the front and back cameras can be used, you can track and photograph the subject depending on the purpose of use. When shooting while camping, traveling, or in the city, the gimbal automatically keeps the subject in the center of the frame, allowing you to capture images that tell a story.
