Silicon Valley-based AI startup, Blink Tech Inc., is trying to revolutionize the video recording experience with its Blink Focos app and Gimbal tool. The technology focuses on turning your mobile phone into a fully automated cameraman by leveraging AI and computer vision.

Blink Tech says traditionally most people use a mobile phone as the only tool and medium to capture an experience. Noting that video equipments are often either bulky or expensive. So, whether it is the price point or lack of accessibility, Blink wants to help offer you a one-stop-shop tool. One that is at your fingertip to capture any experience in full automation with the capability to zoom in and out as well as live streaming.
