ZHIYUN has launched an AI Tracking Unit for smartphone gimbals. The AI tracking unit installs onto ZHIYUN gimbals, such as the SMOOTH 5S AI and CINEPEER CQ5 smartphone stabilizers.
The AI Tracking Unit can do smart tracking and gesture recognition. This capability allows a smart ZHIYUN gimbal to keep the subject in view, and respond instantly to user demands.
The AI tracker mounts onto the magnetizing slot on the gimbal phone clamp.
Key features
- Magnetic Motion Tracker for Smooth 5S AI
- Mounts Quickly onto Magnetic Mount
- Tap to Activate Tracker
- Gesture Control Start/Stop, Framing
The AI tracker contains its own independent camera that is dedicated to recognizing gestures and controlling the gimbal to keep the subject in the shot. The system does not only follow the subject of the video, but frames and focuses on the subject. This technology allows for automatic target following, without the need to connect to an external app.
A simple ‘OK’ signal (circled thumb and forefinger) tells the gimbal and camera to track the user. A raised palm tells it to stop tracking. There are also simple gestures for common requirements, such as following a subject without keeping it in the centre of the frame, or to count down a few seconds before starting filming. These gestures are recognized with either hand.
Front & back camera AI tracking
Users can rotate the tracker 180° to switch the camera direction to provide either front camera or rear camera following. The independent tracker will continue to follow and frame the subject, and to respond to hand gestures.
Price & Availability
The ZHIYUN Launches AI Tracking Unit retails for $69 USD.
