About
The CS Gimbal with the phone allows you to take repetitive photos both outside and inside the car. Along with CS Robot the system can automatically circle around a car or a small truck while moving along a track on the ground, while the Head stabilizes the phone to take perfect pictures.
The magnetic tape stuck to the track determines the driving path of the device, while the fragments of the tape stuck across the track mark the stopping points of the device.
VUMO CarScanner forms a system that allows you to make automatic and repeatable shooting of the car from the outside or the inside creating a 360-degree view of the outside or the inside of the vehicle.
