JUDGE’S REMARKS
Swivl is a one of kind gadget that turns you into your own smartphone based camera crew. Place your phone or mobile camera like a Flip into the Swivl docking station and put the “green dot” on your body.
The Swivl base detects the dot sensor and swivels and tilts your camera to follow you around. Use it to film your own video blogs, to talk on Skype while tidying the bedroom, to film the kids at play. The company spokesperson, a unique life vlogger, Shay Carl, has a knack for bringing out the vote, but the judges thought the products was clearly a one of a kind, too.
What we like: unique product,
What we don’t like: the green dot, don’t know the range

We’re extremely lucky this year to have Gary “Bababooey” Dell’Abate and Jon Hein, of the Howard Stern Wrap Up Show to emcee the Last Gadget Standing . They love products and they love the CES crowd.

I can’t even imagine something like this. I want one! It will be so much easier to film my grandkids learning to walk, etc. Great idea!
Satarii you guys are brilliant!
It was just a matter of time- You are no longer stuck in front of your computer!!! This product takes video blogging and personal face time to a whole other level.
Quite simply, a wonderful, effective, and very necessary product. Think of the applications, particularly for vloggers. Or reporters (why send 2 people to report on something when one will do, accompanied by a dedicated, friendly Swivl?!)
Just a very cool product.
I love the name-
Where can I get one of these?
Awesome gadget I hope you do well..you have my vote because I find this to actually be something new and different. Good luck!
The great thing about this product is that it can eliminate the need for multiple people being involved in filming and production, albeit on a small scale. One step forward for independence!
It’s totally awesome, moves everywhere you go……
