The invention provides a positioning system that autonomously and continuously positions interchangeable camera devices on the subject as they move allowing the camera device to leverage its native functionality without modification or connectivity to the MTDS. The embodiments of the MTDS are configured to attach and align varying size of digital cameras, video cameras, mobile devices with a camera, or smart assistants with an embedded camera, action camera, webcam or laptop with embedded camera to the stand. The MTDS tracks the movements of the user during any video conference, photography or videography session. The MTDS includes a sensor, separate from the camera on the camera device, that sends the sensor data stream to a microcontroller in the stand and a machine learning co-processor detects the presence of a person. As the speaker or subject (user) moves, the MTDS tracks their movements and directs motors in the stand to pan or tilt the stand to orient the camera device's camera at the user. Through movement of the stand, the speaker or user stays centered in the camera frame. No data connections or software integrations are required to operate the MTDS.
