JOBY Spin US$89.95
Designed in partnership with Syrp Lab, the JOBY Spin gives users powerful 360° motion control that’s easily navigated with a smartphone via the dedicated JOBY Motion app for iOS or Android. This allows users to create stunning output including smooth videos, moving timelapses, and panoramic stills.
The Spin is incredibly compact and robust, weighing in at just 130g (0.3lb) with a panning payload up to 750g (1.65lb) and tilting payload up to 500g (1.1lb), making it perfect for on-the-go content creation.

Simply pair the Spin with your favorite GorillaPod® or JOBY support, and you’re ready for the ultimate upgrade in smartphone content.
Creators have the option of pairing two Spin units together with the Pan Tilt Bracket to create dual axis timelapses, b-roll, and video shots. The ability to pan and tilt simultaneously further upgrades output, allowing for stunning landscape videos and astrovideography at the press of a button.
