When patrolling the floor of PhotoPlus this year, we bumped into Jed Hirschfeld, Director Of Marketing for Sync Technology, a new concern out of Fremont, California. Sync is readying two new gimbal based stabilizers, a Smartphone model and a GoPro. The SYNC Smartphone Stabilizer claims to make it easy to capture stable handheld footage with your iPhone 4, 5, 6, and most other smarphones with screen sizes under 5.5″.
The 2-axis stabilizer features two brushless motors and incorporates a gyroscope to accurately predict movements in order to keep your camera level and counter shaky movement. In addition, the Smartphone model includes a rechargeable Li-Po battery is said to last up to two hours, and a toggle switch on the front of the handgrip provides 90° of controllable tilt.
