Joby Gorillapod? Check. Rollerblade wheels? Check. One ingenious idea sure to make a splash in the world of HDSLR filmmaking? CHECK! Developed by Engineer Justin Jensen, Cineskates captivated the eyes (and wallets) of many and surpassed the original Kickstarter campaign goal in just one day! Truly an amazing accomplishment. Due to the versatility of the Joby Gorillapod Focus, Cineskates can produce some very unique motion shots. Take a look at the video below to see it put to use.

If you are interested in adding Cineskates to your filmmaking repertoire, be sure to back the Kickstarter campaign which is still in its infancy. For a donation of $150, you’ll receive only the skates, but for $275 the entire package (including the Gorillapod and ball mount head) will be sent to you as soon as production has started.
