Patent attributes
Systems and methods for capturing an orbiting image of a subject are disclosed. The system includes a rotatable turntable mountable to an overhead surface with a spindle formed therein and a retractable line extending therefrom at a proximal end thereof. First and second lines extend from a distal end of retractable line in opposite directions as retractable line is extended from an exterior of rotatable turntable. The system further includes an imaging assembly with a housing and an interior compartment in which housing includes first and second rotors at first and second ends thereof such that first and second lines are connected to first and second rotors. Interior compartment receives a multimedia device attached thereto and is at least partially visible from an exterior of housing. A remote control is configured to control the rotatable turntable to in turn control speed of rotation of imaging assembly, and the length of line extended or retracted from/to spindle, and further configured to control first and second rotors to in turn control angle of multimedia device. Imaging assembly is rotated from above the subject along a rotation path to enable 360 degree orbiting image capture while the subject is in motion or static during operation.
