Belkin has unveiled the first-ever accessory to work with Apple DockKit. The Auto-Tracking Stand Pro provides automatic, silent, motorised, seamless camerawork using an iPhone’s built in camera, and DockKit’s automated subject tracking technology to follow subjects on camera as they move around.
With 360 degrees of pan and 90 degrees of tilt, it is designed for video calls or recording interactive content that involves a high degree of movement.
“The Stand Pro is unlike any other Belkin product we’ve created. Combining premium Belkin quality, responsive robotics, and advanced subject tracking technology with DockKit, we’re excited to provide content creators with a thoughtfully designed product that will effortlessly enhance the creation process,” Belkin vice president of product management, Melody Tecson said.
“We are proud to deliver the world’s first DockKit-enabled accessory, and we look forward to bringing more content creation products to market.”
Designed for iOS for use with front and rear cameras, DockKit allows users to easily create, present, and record without having to download third party apps. Simply Snap iPhone 12 or later with Magsafe onto Stand Pro, pair via NFC, open camera on FaceTime, Instagram, TikTok, Canva, WhatsApp, Microsoft Teams or other apps or platforms, and start creating.
Made with MagSafe, charge and chat at the same time with fast wireless charging up to 15W when the Stand Pro is plugged in. Turn movement tracking on or off at the touch of a button; an LED indicator will indicate if tracking is active.
With a rechargeable battery, the dock provides five hours of battery life for capturing content on-the-go. A five-feet USB-C cable and 30W power supply are included. The Auto-Tracking Stand Pro is made with a minimum of 75% PCR materials and sold in plastic-free packaging.
It will soon be available on the Belkin Australia website and select retailers for RRP $299.95.
