DreamEye has introduced its first action camera and it is called Leaptic Cube. It has a split design with a small camera module that separates from the main body, which shows a live preview on its 2.27” display from approximately 30 meters/100 feet away.
The advantage of this design – besides the built-in remote control functionality – is that you can move the camera around for vlog-style videos. If this design sounds familiar, you’re probably thinking of the DJI Osmo Nano. The Insta360 Go Ultra is another beautiful action camera (that relies on a flip-up display for vlogs).
Like its competitors, the Dream Leptic Cube combines a large 1/1.3″ sensor with an ultra-wide 155° lens (f/2.8). The sensor has 50MP resolution for photos and 13.5 stops of dynamic range.
Of course, this will mostly be used for videos. The camera can record 8K @ 30fps or 4K @ 60fps. This already puts it above other minis as both the DJI and Insta360 cameras top out at 4K @ 60fps. It also has a 4K @ 120fps slow-mo mode.
The camera offers 10-bit P-Log and HLG recording modes if you do your own color grading. Additionally, it has horizon stabilization modes with 45° and 360° options – these use the gyroscope to ensure that the video always remains level, even if the camera tilts from side to side (at the expense of cropping).
The compute power comes from a 4nm chipset. Apart from image processing and stabilization, it is also in charge of many AI features. There is a scene-based audio enhancement (for example you can boost dialogue for vlogs or use a more balanced preset for recording concerts). The second enables voice commands for hands-free control.
Note that the camera module has 64GB or 128GB of built-in storage, while the display body has a microSD card slot (cards up to 1TB supported).
Various Attachment Accessories for Dream Leaptic Cube
The camera module can record up to 90 minutes on its own, the body extends the total recording time to approximately 200 minutes.
We got to personally check out the camera as well as some of its accessories. There is a clip-on battery that can extend the independent runtime of the camera module. This accessory has its own attachment point on the bottom so you can clip it to a tripod like you normally would.
Battery Accessory and Attachment System
Another accessory is the dive case – DreamEye doesn’t mention any water resistance for the “naked” camera module (and the main part should definitely stay out of water). ,
