Motrr ships Bluetooth-enabled Galileo robotic dock

mottrYou might not have heard of Motrr before, but they are the designers of the highly acclaimed Gorillapod camera tripods that have become popular, as these accessories would enable one to shoot photos from really extreme angles without having you to worry about the safety of your camera equipment. Well, this time around, we are pleased to announce that Motrr has started to ship the Bluetooth model of its popular Galileo robotic dock. This is one $149.95 robotic dock which will play nice with the latest iPhone 5s and iPhone 5c, not to mention its predecessors of up to the iPhone 4S, and the fifth generation of the iPod touch. What one should take note of is this – the original 30-pin model actually picked up $702,427 in pledges when it was launched on Kickstarter last year, which happened to be over seven times the fundraising goal.

One of the first apps that have been created in order to integrate itself with the new Bluetooth model would be a remote-monitoring app that they call Airbeam, while the Presence app would also be able to play nice with the original 30-pin model. With the Bluetooth-enabled Galileo robotic dock, parents are now able to keep an eye on their kids even if they are in a different room, as well as having this function as some sort of security device to make sure that your home remains as it is, even when you are away from it for work or a holiday.

Since the mantra of “there’s an app for that” has become more or less something which is “normal”, it is also not surprising to find the $3.99 AirBeam app turn your iPhone or iPod touch into a real-time HD video and audio monitoring system when it is used in tandem with the Galileo system, of course. Heck, this is one time you would wish that the iPhone arrives with a larger screen size, especially when you consider how you can set up multiple Galileos to view multiple screens simultaneously.

Motrr Galileo Bluetooth and Galileo 30-pin for iPhone pre-orders are now available

motrr-galileoEver heard of Motrr before? Well, they happen to be the designers behind the Gorillapod range of innovative camera tripods, and this time around, they have announce the pre-order availability of the Galileo Bluetooth and Galileo 30-pin that will target the iPhone, and this window of opportunity is open from now until the end of this month. Galileo has been named after the well known character from the past, where it happens to be a revolutionary iOS-controlled robotic iPhone platform this time around that comes with infinite spherical rotation capability so that it will open up the doors of iPhone owners to a world of photo, pano, and video possibilities.

Jasper Eisenberg, Marketing Manager at Motrr, said, “We are thrilled to release Galileo, a device platform we hope will inspire creativity and allow for more immersive experiences with people from anywhere in the world. Motrr’s mission is to transform the way we communicate with each other and with the world around us. With an entirely new dimension of control, everything from video calling, time-lapse photography, cinematography, and spherical imaging get way more interesting.”

With the Galileo, your iPhone will work with the Sphere app, ensuring that you remain just one tap away from capturing amazing spherical panoramas. Not only that, you are able to set pan and tilt controls in a jiffy for Galileo in order for it to locally create dynamic time-lapse sequences. Using a second smartphone, tablet, or web browser, you will be able to control Galileo remotely so that it can function as your “eyes” at home using one-way video. Want to do more? Not a problem at all, as it also delivers an immersive 2-way video calling experience, where all you need to do is to swipe your finger on your device and Galileo will responds, as it orients itself in any direction, which basically means you are able to control what you see.

The Galileo 30-Pin will play nice with the iPhone 4/4S, iPhone 3GS and iPod Touch 4th generation., while the Galileo Bluetooth is compatible with the iPhone 5S, iPhone 5C, iPhone 5, iPhone 4S, and iPod Touch 5th generation.
