OBSBOT TAIL
When you’re making movies about people, the blighters won’t stay still. So keeping them in shot can be tricky, especially if your ‘crew’ is you, a rucksack and a cheese sandwich. Hence Obsbot Tail, which styles itself as the world’s first auto-director AI camera but is really an automated cinematographer. Set it down and define who to keep in frame, and you’ll get buttery-smooth 4K tracking shots, thanks to the three-axis gimbal and 1/2.3in Sony CMOS sensor. You needn’t prod the Obsbot app to shake things up either: a hand gesture is enough to have your robot DP perform its actions. £375 / remo-ai.com
