Dreame Announces Leaptic Cube Modular 8K Action Camera

Dreame has entered the action camera market with the Leaptic Cube, a compact modular camera system first shown publicly at CES 2026. The Chinese company, previously known mainly for robotic vacuum cleaners and household appliances, is positioning the Leaptic Cube as a small, mount-friendly camera built around high-resolution video capture rather than a traditional all-in-one action camera design.

The Leaptic Cube consists of two main components: a small camera module and a 2.27 inches detachable touchscreen display. By separating the imaging unit from the screen, the system allows the camera to be mounted in confined or unconventional positions while retaining direct visual control through the display, without relying exclusively on a smartphone app. The camera module can also be attached to either side of the display, enabling front-facing monitoring when needed.

At the core of the Leaptic Cube is a 1/1.3-inch CMOS sensor with a stated resolution of 50 megapixels, paired with a wide-angle lens offering a claimed 155-degree field of view. Video recording is supported up to 8K at 30 frames per second, although such resolution is mainly intended to provide additional flexibility for cropping, reframing, and electronic stabilization in post-production. At lower resolutions, the camera can record 4K video at up to 60 frames per second with HDR enabled, or up to 120 frames per second for slow-motion capture.

The camera supports 10-bit P-Log recording, allowing for extended color depth and greater latitude when adjusting footage during editing. Dreame also claims a dynamic range of up to 13.5 stops. Electronic image stabilization is built in and relies on gyro-based data processing, with horizon-leveling modes designed to maintain level framing during movement, at the cost of some image cropping.

Battery life for the camera module is rated at just over 90 minutes on its own. An optional external battery dock and charging case can extend total operating time to approximately 200 minutes or more, depending on configuration. Wireless communication between the camera and display is claimed to function at distances of up to 30 meters, maintaining a live video feed.

In addition to core imaging features, the Leaptic Cube integrates several AI-based functions, including automatic scene recognition, low-light optimization modes, subject tracking, gesture-based recording control, and pre-recording that captures footage before the shutter is pressed. A voice-controlled assistant, accessed through the companion smartphone app, allows limited hands-free control of camera functions.

Storage options include internal memory configurations of 64 GB or 128 GB within the camera module, with a microSD card slot located in the display unit supporting expansion up to 1 TB.

Dreame has indicated that the Leaptic Cube is expected to reach the North American market in 2026. Early pricing information points to estimated retail prices of $439.99 for the 64 GB version and $459.99 for the 128 GB version, though final availability and regional pricing have not yet been fully confirmed.
