DJI and Insta360 could have a new rival on their hands, after a new Chinese company called Leaptic teased a modular action camera that will be unveiled
at CES this week.

The teaser on X (formerly Twitter) reveals the silhouette of the '8K AI tiny action camera', and it looks a lot like the profile of the modular DJI Osmo Nano .

Like the Insta360 Go 3S before it, the Osmo Nano is a truly tiny thumb-sized action cam which can fit in tight spaces for creative angles and worn as a body camera, but being modular it also attaches magnetically to a pod with a screen for a traditional action camera design.

Leaptic's offering appears to have a strikingly similar design to the Osmo Nano, but we know precious little else about it other than will shoot video
at a higher 8K resolution. Something new is coming. LEAPTICs first action camera debuts at CES 2026. See you in Las Vegas. pic.twitter.com/ViwiMW6mJq January 4, 2026

Another post shared on Instagram in September 2025 seemingly reveals
Leaptic's AI action camera, if indeed this is the same camera, calling it a 'next-gen AI action camera redefining sports filmmaking', armed with a 'disruptive end-to-end AI concept'.

It says the camera will weigh just 35g, is equipped with voice control, plus it features what sounds like 'AI' subject and action detection and auto editing to speed workflow.

This all sounds intriguing, and with CES kicking off tomorrow on January 6, we'll soon have more concrete detail about the tiny 8K action camera from the horse's mouth, and if indeed it has what it takes to break into this competitive space.
