Because of their compact size and light-weight designs, video-capable smartphones and pocket-friendly camcorders can be rather difficult to keep steady when filming.

The Flip Video has been pretty successful since its launch, and now we have an accessory for it that just made an appearance on the FCC where it is known as the Flip Video Remote. It will come in an extremely simple-looking design without much fanfare, although we're not too sure just what the main idea for this device would be. Guess time would solve all things in this case.
