foolography have recently moved their headquarters from Weisbaden to Berlin and are now seeking crowd sourced funding to finance the development of this interesting product.

They are launching a Kickstarter crowd funding campaign today, August 31 at 4pm CEST (Berlin time). 

Disclaimer:  I am not a part of their organisation, but I do use their splendid D200+ Bluetooth GPS module and wish them well with this new initiative.

Looks like a nice product, a good alternative to some of the already available solutions, but smaller and with suggested additional functions, hopefully they will get enough people to put down payments for the development of the devices

I have used the various nifty BT-based GPS receivers for many years. They have proved quite reliable under field conditions.

As far as I can ascertain, the new product transmits a lot of additional data as well to allow precise control of one or several cameras provided a "smart" phone is supplied. Lots of people should find the idea attractive. Whether it confers advantage(s) over existing solutions such as Camranger remains to be seen. 

I'm not into "smartphones" thus not directly interested, though. Wish Foolography the best of luck with their endeavour nonetheless.
