flow logic identified in fig3 and 5 in another embodiment a smartphone or similar device application may provide a user interface to the video recording positioner 60 which may include allowing the user to input and change the range of travel setting 20 and establish the zero reference button 12 input to the system fig2 is a top view of the base 16 indicating the ranges of rotation the zero reference direction is indicated in fig2 as reference number 30 this zero reference direction 30 is established when the user presses the zero reference button 12 see fig1 the full range of travel of movement for the rotating platform 28 is identified as reference number 34 this is the full rotational range of the rotating platform 28 the range of movement can be limited by the user by adjusting the range of travel setting 20 the range of travel can be limited to a range less than the full range as shown by reference number 36 fig3 depicts the operational flow logic of the video recording positioner 60 with the power supply 24 providing power to the system through the on off switch 26 the microcontroller 10 waits for the depression of the zero reference button 12 to establish the zero reference direction 30 the position sensor 14 measures the head rotational movement of the user and provides this information to the microcontroller 10 to determine the change of rotation of the user 39 s head from the zero reference direction 30 the range of travel setting 20 provides an input to the microcontroller.
