A handle that plugs into any smart phone from the bottom and takes control of microphone and video capturing capabilities as well as record/pause function with camera switch capability (front cam/back cam). This product comes with its own editing software that allows adding preset titles and end credits as well as second and third audio track overlay on editing timeline. The pause of video “waits” even for several hours without draining the battery even if the phone is turned off between video takes. Once the video is captured, the user can upload footage unedited to YouTube or any other platform (using phone’s LTE or Wi-Fi connectivity), or add additional audio tracks in its editor.

Price? The handle/app combo could easily be sold for $1500

The second version of this product includes optical lens attachment with optical zoom. Also, multi-cam capability where record/pause can be swapped between host phone and the child one using personal Wi-Fi connectivity between them.

Imagine if there were gyms that offered member-to-member intensive body massage? Let me elaborate. Instead of pumping iron, lifting weights and pushing or pulling body-shaping machines, members are given basic instructions to give body massage to each other.  This way the receiver of the full-body massage gets his muscles warmed up and toned, while the giver spends his energy doing it re-energizing both himself the the receiver. You may ask, what about the expertise of massage techniques? That’s where the gym instructor comes in who gives instructions to do it properly. This type of gyms are both efficient and productive, providing its members muscle relaxation and re-energizing through mutual energy exchange.
