Insert Coin: Genie turns any camera right into a world-class time lapse rig

In Insert Coin, we glance at a thrilling new tech project that requires funding before it would hit production. In order for you to pitch a project, please send us a tip with "Insert Coin" because the subject line.

New Zealand-based designer Chris Thomson and filmmaker Ben Ryan found that motion-control time lapse gear too expensive, too complicated and too bulky. In order that they set about building the Genie, a box that moves your camera around under its own power. Designed to be cheap(er than the contest) and user-friendly, the device can help you make a choice from a number of presets or build your personal to show and position the camera. This will also draw itself along a guide rope, either on a dolly track or cable-cam for stunning landscape photography. It's reached $42,542 of its $150,000 goal and if successful, each unit will cost $1,000.

Previous project update: Seems like you were not too fussed with Tōd because the network of little sensors has only accumulated $13,123 to this point.
