Dreame, a Chinese company known for robot vacuums and floor cleaners, introduced its first action camera, the Leaptic Cube, at CES 2026.
The Leaptic Cube features a design that allows the compact camera to separate from its screen. This design enables mounting the camera in various locations while still providing a live preview. Unlike some comparable cameras that max out at 4K resolution, Dreame's device supports 8K.
Key specifications include a 1/1.3-inch sensor, similar to that used by DJI in the Osmo Nano, paired with a 155-degree wide-angle lens to enhance video quality, particularly in low-light conditions. When capturing at 8K, the Leaptic Cube operates at 30 frames per second (fps). This higher resolution offers increased flexibility for cropping and reframing footage post-capture and supports the camera's built-in stabilization. Reducing the resolution to 4K allows for a frame rate of 60fps with HDR, or up to 120fps for slow-motion footage.
The camera unit can be used independently of the screen, up to 98 feet away, while maintaining a live video feed. Battery life can be extended to 220 minutes with an optional magnetically attached external battery dock. The camera can be connected to its 2.27-inch screen in either a forward or backward orientation, facilitating selfie framing.
Additional features include a proprietary wireless transmission system with a range of approximately 98 feet, AI-powered tracking and auto-framing capabilities, and an AI assistant for voice control when connected to a mobile application. Information regarding the Leaptic Cube's pricing and launch date has not yet been announced.
