FULL STORY
======================================================================

 CES 2024 is a-go, and accessory maker Belkin has seized the opportunity to 
unveil the worlds first DockKit-compatible iPhone accessory: the 
Auto-Tracking Stand Pro. 

This motorized iPhone stand, which is capable of 360 degrees of pan and 90 
degrees of tilt, uses Apples automated tracking technology to record subjects 
on camera as they move around a space. Its designed for immersive video calls 
or recording interactive content that involves a high degree of movement, 
Belkin says. 

Apples DockKit API (Application Programming Interface) is the framework that 
allows iPhones to act as the central computer for motorized camera stands. 
The feature was announced at WWDC 2023 and released with iOS 17 in September, 
but Belkins Auto-Tracking Stand Pro marks the first Apple-certified Works 
with DockKit accessory. 

Compatible with any iPhone newer than the iPhone 12, the Auto-Tracking Stand 
Pro is MagSafe-compatible, offering fast wireless charging up to 15W when 
plugged in. Its also got a rechargeable battery, which Belkin says will 
provide up to five hours of battery life for capturing content on-the-go.The 
stand offers convenient single-button activation, and an LED indicator will 
indicate whether tracking is active. The Belkin Auto-Tracking Stand Pro will 
retail for $179.99 / 169.99 / AU$299.95 (Image credit: Future / Belkin) 

Belkin is clearly marketing the Auto-Tracking Stand Pro towards content 
creators  were excited to provide content creators with a thoughtfully 
designed product that will effortlessly enhance the creation process, Melody 
Tecson, Belkins vice president of product management, said in a statement  
but the companys latest accessory could conceivably prove useful for fitness, 
education and healthcare professionals, too. 

Unfortunately, it wont come cheap. Theres a premium to be paid for owning the 
worlds first DockKit-certified product, and Belkin has confirmed that the 
Auto-Tracking Stand Pro will retail for $179.99 / 169.99 / AU$299.95 when it 
hits shelves in the next few months. The product is available for pre-order 
now . 

Alongside the Auto-Tracking Stand Pro, Belkin also announced the BoostCharge 
Pro 3-in-1 Magnetic Stand, BoostCharge Pro Magnetic Power Bank, BoostCharge 
Pro 4-Port USB-C GaN Charger 200W, and 6-in-1 Core GaN Dock at CES 2024. All 
four products are due to release in March or earlier.
