Dreame has unveiled its first action camera, the Leaptic Cube, featuring a unique split design. The camera's small module detaches from the main body, allowing users to preview shots on its 2.27” display from up to 30 meters (100 feet) away.
This innovative design not only incorporates built-in remote control functionality but also allows users to rotate the camera for a vlogging perspective. If this design rings a bell, you might be thinking of the DJI Osmo Nano or the Insta360 Go Ultra, the latter of which utilizes a flip-up display for vlogging.
Like its competitors, the Dreame Leaptic Cube features a large 1/1.3” sensor paired with an ultra-wide 155° lens (f/2.8). The sensor boasts a 50MP resolution for photos and an impressive 13.5 stops of dynamic range.
Primarily designed for video recording, the camera supports 8K recording at 30fps, as well as 4K at 60fps. This capability surpasses that of its competitors, as both DJI and Insta360 max out at 4K 60fps. Additionally, the Cube features a slow-motion mode at 4K 120fps.
The camera provides 10-bit P-Log and HLG recording options for those interested in manual color grading. Moreover, it includes Horizon stabilization modes, available in 45° and 360°, utilizing the gyroscope to ensure level video, even when the camera tilts (though this may result in cropping).
The Leaptic Cube is powered by a 4nm chipset, responsible not only for image processing and stabilization but also numerous AI-driven features. One such feature enhances audio based on the scene — improving dialog for vlogs or offering a more balanced preset for concert recordings. Additionally, voice commands enable hands-free operation.
Storage-wise, the camera module offers either 64GB or 128GB of built-in memory, while the main body is equipped with a microSD card slot supporting cards of up to 1TB.
Wide Range of Attachments for the Dreame Leaptic Cube
The camera module can operate independently for up to 90 minutes, while the main body extends the overall recording time to approximately 200 minutes.
We had the opportunity to explore the Leaptic Cube and some accessories in person. One notable accessory is a clip-on battery that enhances the camera module's runtime. This battery features its own attachment point, allowing for convenient mounting on a tripod.

Another accessory includes a dive case; however, Dreame has yet to provide details about the naked camera module's water resistance, and the main body should certainly be kept away from water.
