Watch out “Us Weekly.” Later camera-slinging, ambulance-chasing, privacy-invading paparazzi. A new robotic camera mount made by GigaPan Systems is allowing regular people and their point-and-shoot-cameras to capture some amazing panoramic shots. Instead of immortalizing one small split-second slice of life, you get the whole scene, whether it’s the swearing in of a president, the Oscars or a lazy beach scene curving into the sunset.

Photogs set their camera onto the mount, indicate the parameters of the panorama they’re bent on snapping and then the unit figures out how many photos it needs to take to capture the gigapixel scene, be it ten or a thousand. The GigaPan Epic mount costs $379 and works with most point-and-shoot cameras. The best part? If you have a secure setup, you don’t have to snarl at all the other people jostling to take the same shot you desperately want.
