SANTA CRUZ, CA – June 13, 2012 – Motrr, led by the designers behind the Gorillapod™ line of innovative camera tripods, is pleased to announce the success of their recent Kickstarter campaign for the Galileo. Galileo, a revolutionary iOS-controlled robotic iPhone platform with infinite spherical rotation capability, became one of the highest funded Kickstarter projects to date, receiving over $700,000 in pledges. Motrr surpassed its fundraising goal of $100,000 in only a few days, making its project one of the fastest to reach the funding goal. The Company anticipates shipping units to Kickstarter backers this summer. Those who missed the Kickstarter campaign and still want to be among the first to own this exciting piece of technology can now pre-order their Galileo at www.motrr.com.
"We want to extend our gratitude to all of the Kickstarter backers who have supported our Galileo project," says Motrr CEO Rob Born. "Motrr's mission is to add a whole new dimension of control and motion to a variety of photography devices. Galileo is just the first of several exciting products we plan to bring to market in the near future. Our team is deeply passionate about robotics, photography, and cinematography. Ultimately, we are focused on creating products that inspire creativity and allow for more rewarding human interactions."
