Swivl: Make Your Camera Follow Your Action. Available for Pre-Order Now.

Even if you’re filming yourself, you can still capture all the action as you move around the room. Or, at least, you’ll be able to soon. The Swivl is an iPhone dock that uses motion tracking to swivel the phone - and thus the front-facing camera - to follow your every move, both horizontally and vertically. It also comes with a wireless remote to control the camera and start-and-stop recording, useful for video-bloggers.

Basically: Snap your iPhone (or other, similarly sized camera) in, slap the marker somewhere on your person (or hold it), hit record, and the Swivl will twist and turn to keep you in the shot. Need a video of you skateboarding, but have no camera man? Need to have a “hands free” Facetime session for one reason or another (hey, I’m not asking questions)? That’s where the Swivl comes in.

The Swivl, a self-propelled camera mount will launch in early 2012.

Swivl is a compact mount that works with the iPhone, iPod Touch, Flip, GoPro, and any Android phone. The person being filmed holds a small sensor, letting the mount track his or her movements. The Swivl can be used for video blogging, demonstrations, or outside activities.

When used with an iPhone 4 or 4S, or a fourth generation iPod Touch, the user can control video functions with the remote sensor, as well. All Apple devices will charge through the Swivl.

The Swivl got its startup financing through a page on IndieGoGo. People who believed in the concept pledged from $5 to $750 to help its creation. The developers raised $24,680 this way.

Buyers can pre-order the Swivl for $159.99 right here. The developers promise to show off a working pre-release model at the upcoming CES (Consumer Electronics Show) in Las Vegas, Nevada, in January.

“Our vision has always been to deliver a compelling experience through Swivl’s unique user interface, amazing (and smart) design, and by listening to our most important influencers, the users. We heard all of your wants and concerns when it comes to mobile video in your lives, and we listened,” said Brian Lamb, co-founder of Swivl’s parent company Satarii, in a recent blog post.
