Dreame, a Chinese company known for its unique robot vacuums<\/a> and floor cleaners, expanded its offerings at CES 2026, such as a $700 floor lamp that doubled as a hair drye<\/a>r. But more interesting is the debut of the company\u2019s first action camera. The Leaptic Cube<\/a> features a design similar to the DJI Osmo Nano<\/a> and Insta360 Go Ultra<\/a>, allowing you to separate the compact camera from its screen so you can mount it in different places while still being able to see what you\u2019re capturing. But while those cameras max out at a 4K resolution, Dreame\u2019s does 8K.<\/p>\n

The Leaptic Cube features a 1\/1.3-inch sensor, the same size DJI uses in the Osmo Nano, paired with a 155-degree wide-angle lens so it can capture more light to improve video quality, even when recording after the sun sets. Capturing at 8K limits the Cube\u2019s framerate to 30fps, but the extra pixels provide more room to crop and reframe footage afterwards and facilitates the camera\u2019s built-in stabilization. Dropping the resolution to 4K boosts the frame rate to 60fps with HDR, or up to 120fps for capturing slo-mo footage.<\/p>\n

Dreame says the Cube\u2019s battery life can be extended to up to 220 minutes when using a \u201cmagnetically attached external battery dock,\u201d and that the camera can be attached to its 2.27-inch screen facing forwards or back, so you can use it to frame selfies. Other features include a proprietary wireless transmission system with a range of around 98 feet, AI-powered tracking and auto-framing, and an AI assistant that can be used to control the camera with voice commands while it\u2019s connected to a mobile app. What we don\u2019t yet know is pricing, or when Dreame plans to launch the Leaptic Cube.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Dreame, a Chinese company known for its unique robot vacuums and floor cleaners, expanded its offerings at CES…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":231113,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[6],"tags":[16637,356,111,43,139,69,370,145],"class_list":{"0":"post-231112","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-technology","8":"tag-cameras","9":"tag-gadgets","10":"tag-new-zealand","11":"tag-news","12":"tag-newzealand","13":"tag-nz","14":"tag-tech","15":"tag-technology"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/231112","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=231112"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/231112\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/231113"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=231112"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=231112"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=231112"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
