I made a new tool for camera operators and its shell is 3D printed.

CyberLevel is a digital horizon indicator that is gyro compensated. Basically it’s a bubble level that doesn’t go crazy when moving it always shows true level.

How does it work?

Looking at the product page, this appears to be a sensor/indicator you put on a camera/monitor to determine if the shot is level. It probably has a microcontroller doing sensor fusion of gyroscopic/accelerometer sensors to present a smooth result.

That’s for that link. I had no idea the black circle was even a screen. Neat device!

It's either that or has something to do with their follow focus devices. It's shaped like a their remote devices but I'm not sure what sort of data it would relay.

You nailed it! It’s an IMU sensor with accel/gyro fusion. Then it uses a Rp2040 (pi pico chip) and a touchscreen to manage settings.
