It is a camera holder build into a headcover. Cool idea. Check out the video link.

One PGA Show Item I Already Want: SwingSnap

I'm still taking in all of the 2016 PGA Merchandise Show after day one and, barring a crazy day at Torrey, will post the best of. 

That said, the GolfDigest.com crew nominated a few of their favorite things spotted on the floor, and without question the standout for me was this headcover that doubles as a camera holder.

Considering that I just watched an aspiring player trying to balance his camera phone on his bag yesterday with questionable results, I'm guessing there's at least one taker for the soon to be released SwingSnap.

As someone who used to lug a huge video camera and tripod to the range, I have no problem admitting that I'm envious of today's aspiring players.

Of course the SwingSnap also appears to be a discreet way to setup a camera to record when you tee off on one of the world's most famous golf holes.

This is clever. Pre order price is low.

Nice, but not as easy or incognito as the link indicates -- I've owned one of those sticks you impale into the ground that has a phone holder on the end for videos. You've still got to bend down to make sure you are close/far enough and have what you want in the picture. But it is an alternative.

I'll stop by their booth. Feel free to message me if you see anything else.

[Mr. Desmond]

Take a look at SkyTrak if they are around?

Looks pretty nifty.  I've got a gorilla pod that I try and mount to my clubs/bag but it doesn't work very well.  Hard to get the right pitch angle.  That thing looks better, but I'd have to try it to see.

Tell them their product is crap because it doesn't come with a smartphone. What kind of business do they think they're running? Amateurs. 

But seriously, try attaching your phone so that it uses the rear facing camera. I think you should be able to aim properly even with an obstructed view.
