The PanoPal is a new gadget designed to make taking panoramas on your smartphone infinitely easier. It was created by RadiantModo and is essentially a rotating tripod that is controlled using a remote. There are two types of remote that come with the PanoPal: one that controls the stand and a Bluetooth remote that can both rotate the stand and snap pictures.
The idea for the PanoPal came about after Paul Ng, one of the RadiantModo founders, took a trip to China and was disappointed by the quality of his panoramas. The PanoPal is charged via micro USB, has four speeds and can rotate clockwise and counterclockwise. The company has taken to Kickstarter to fund the gadget and is seeking $30,000.
