The marker also allows you to start or stop recording from across the room (only with iPhone and iPod).
iOS Digital Microphone for Crisp, Clear Sound

Customer Reviews

I was looking for a solution to capture video in a 360 degree rotation as I often work with horses in a round pen and want to see how the horses respond to commands. I would ask my wife to stand in the middle of the round pen and film the horse as it walks, canters, etc based on my hand gestures. Needless to say, my wife would get tired and dizzy from spinning around in place while filming.
Now with Swivl, I simply place my iPhone into the Swivl stand, place the marker on the horses saddle, launch the app and press record and am able to record 360 degrees perfectly. Swivl has a built in tri-pod mount, so I'm able to use my old tripod for a sturdy platform. My wife loves the product, not just because it alleviates her filming and getting dizzy, but she's able to use it in the kitchen for facetime or skype handsfree calls with our daughter who's away at college. The marker has a built in mic, so she's easy to hear what she's saying on the other end.
The Swivl has a solid build to it and has gone from horse barn to house to office with ease because it's battery powered (easy to replace, buy purchasing regular batteries), no cords to carry and the ability work with iPhones 3 and 4. I just ordered another Swivl from Amazon to allow my wife and I to have our own.
Highly recommended to those of you who want to capture video when you're active by yourself or when you want hands free video conferencing at home or in the office. Great product.
Whenever I have had an issue or a question the Swivl folks have gotten back with me very quickly, by email or by calling me. I think this is a good product that will get better via software improvements with the feedback we early users are providing.
