4 hours ago

Beni is an all-terrain, portable, autonomous camera robot that follows users to film them, featuring obstacle avoidance, multi-angle tracking, and the ability to jump 10 inches.
It can reach speeds up to 18 mph for tracking action sports and has a 1.5-hour battery life, swappable battery, and records 4K video at 30 fps.
Beni is designed to make solo filming easy and includes expressive features like a face with changing expressions, color-changing eyes, and accessories like ears and hats.
It comes with a companion app for control and automatic editing, plus a wristwatch-style motion controller for programming functions.
Available on Kickstarter starting at $499 (early bird price, $300 off retail $799), with shipping expected in October and prototypes already tested by 30 users.
