March 27, 2012Galileo: an ios controlled robotic camera mount"The Galileo, much like Swivl, is also a Kickstarter project and at first blush appears to be another portable robotic camera.

So suffice to say it's no slouch and most certainly makes for an amazing robotic cameraman for places you could get never fit or shall we say squeeze Galileo's human counterpart."
