The answer is probably not, especially given the sheer pace of innovation shown by the incumbents in the field already, but Dreame's Leaptic Cube is still interesting.
A confession: we missed the Leaptic Cube at CES 2026, mainly because of all the fuss over manufacturer Dreame's $700 floor-standing hairdryer/lamp. That's our bad because, while no, Dreame is probably not going to disrupt the Action Camera market in the same manner that, say, DJI did when it decided to enter it, the Leaptic Cube is still an interesting new entrant.
All the more so because this is the sort of thing that Dreame usually gets up to.
The Leaptic Cube has a similar form factor to the DJI Osmo Nano in that it is a modular unit with a detachable screen. It's also pretty much the same size and weight. It's based around a Type 1/1.3-inch sensor, the same as the Nano, but has a wider 155-degree wide-angle lens and offers 50MP stills instead of 35MP.
Its two stand-out differences though are 8K capture extended wireless video. 8K is enabled by a Qualcomm 8-core AI image processor with up to 48 TOPS, but inevitably lowers the frame rate down to 30 fps. Still, this is a first for a camera like this as far as we know. It also offers 4K60 HDR and 4K120 slo-mo. Ultra-Long Pre-Recording is also promised but, as yet, we don't know exactly how long 'ultra-long' is.
As for wireless transmission between the two units, Dreame lists this as 30 meters (98 feet), saying that this is three times the range of the Nano, and also claiming its own ProSync tech provides 5–10 times the transmission distance and stability of conventional Bluetooth connections.
One interesting additional detail, is that the company says it can control GoPro devices though its own Leaptic app that also offers additional smart features.
The Cube is also part of a wider ecosystem including a Ring and Glasses, that can act as controls and displays respectively. "The three devices work in tight synergy through low-power data links and a unified AI hub, together forming a seamless and unobtrusive intelligent recording network," says the company. This is the sort of territory you can imagine the established companies in the field are either actively investigating themselves or looking to at least lever their way into someone else's established ecosystem.
Dreame promises a Kickstarter launch 'soon' but is already taking pre-orders. These offer the camera at $269 for a $5 deposit, which the company says is $50 off what will eventually be the Super Early Bird Price. Eventual retail looks set to start around $439. North American shipping is expected in 2026.
