A LITTLE DRONE. A WHOLE NEW POINT OF VIEW.THE NEXT CHAPTER STARTS HERE
+TREAD pre-launch

Help shape a grounded camera concept

Follow the tracks.
Not the hype.

TREAD is not a live Kickstarter, and these are not products for sale. This pre-launch space is for sharing the concept, testing the direction, and learning which version of a low-moving camera people would actually want to use.

+The path forward

Build curiosity into proof.

We see the work as a sequence of questions to answer—not a countdown to a promised date. Each phase needs evidence before the next one earns its place.

  1. 01

    Concept now

    Refine the grounded camera idea, its creative use cases, and its core controls.

  2. 02

    Prototype next

    Test the relationship between tread movement, framing, and a compact video system.

  3. 03

    Creator testing planned

    Put early ideas in the hands of people who will challenge the experience in real scenes.

  4. 04

    Production after validation

    Consider a production path only after the essential camera, safety, and reliability questions are answered.

+Illustrative directions

Which track would you take?

These example tiers help us understand interest. Prices are illustrative concepts only, not offers, reservations, or payment requests.

Concept tier

First tracks

$199 illustrative

A simple starting point for people who want the essential grounded camera experience if the concept is validated.

Concept tier

Two of a kind

$369 illustrative

An exploratory two-unit idea for collaborators, shared households, or side-by-side perspectives.

+What needs proving

A concept gets stronger when its risks are named.

  • Hardware integrationCamera, drive system, controls, and body design must work together in a small package.
  • Tracking behaviorFollowing a subject in real environments is difficult and must be tested honestly.
  • Battery trade-offsUseful run time, size, weight, and recording demands all need balancing.
  • Manufacturing realityA compelling prototype still needs a reliable, repeatable path to production.

TREAD is a pre-launch concept campaign. Interest selections are stored locally as a preference only; they do not create an order, collect payment, reserve a product, guarantee shipping, or promise a delivery date. All tier descriptions and illustrative prices may change or may never become an offer.
