At CES 2026 in Las Vegas, XbotGo<\/a> introduced the Falcon<\/strong>, a new AI-powered camera designed specifically for recording team sports hands-free. Launched for pre-order on January 5-7, 2026, this device aims to give parents, coaches, and fans professional-looking footage of youth games without needing constant manual adjustments or ongoing fees.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Falcon is a successor to XbotGo’s earlier Chameleon model, building on years of development. It raised over $2.5 million on Kickstarter in late 2025, showing strong demand before the CES debut. Now, it’s available for pre-order at $599<\/strong> (down from an original $699 price point), with shipping to early backers starting late January 2026 and full market release in March 2026.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Key Features and How It Works<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The Falcon uses a dual-lens system<\/strong> (two “AI Eyes”) with a Sony IMX678<\/strong> 1\/1.8-inch CMOS sensor for true 4K video at 30fps. One lens captures the full field while the other focuses on details like players or highlights. Powered by a 6 TOPS<\/strong> on-board AI processor, it automatically tracks players, detects ball movement, and adjusts framing with 360\u00b0 rotation and 160\u00b0 tilt. It supports over 20 team sports<\/strong>, including soccer, basketball, football, hockey, and more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Smart improvements include locking onto the specific game ball<\/strong> to avoid distractions from sideline activity, plus jersey number recognition or manual player selection via the app for better tracking. The camera offers PiP (picture-in-picture)<\/strong> mode for wide + close-up views, auto-generated highlight reels, performance stats (like heatmaps and movements), and one-tap live streaming to YouTube, Facebook, or RTMP platforms\u2014all without any subscription<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Other specs:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  • 10,000mAh battery<\/strong> for up to 3-4 hours of recording.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • IP-rated<\/strong> all-weather build.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Local storage via microSD\/TF card up to 1TB<\/strong> (1024GB), plus optional cloud (20GB free in some plans).<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • 120\u00b0 field of view<\/strong> for wide coverage.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Quick presets and physical buttons for fast setup.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

    Why It Stands Out<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

    Unlike competitors like Veo (which costs $1,200+ plus $1,000+ yearly subscriptions for full features), the Falcon is a one-time purchase<\/strong> with no recurring costs for AI tracking, editing, highlights, or streaming. This makes it more accessible for families filming youth leagues, small teams, or casual games.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    The device weighs about 810-815g<\/strong> (around 28-29 ounces) and mounts easily on a standard 1\/4″ tripod. Setup takes about one minute: choose the sport, set field parameters if needed, and let AI handle the rest.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Reception and Availability<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

    Early hands-on demos at CES praised its improved tracking (especially ball-lock) and no-subscription model. It’s positioned as a “prosumer” option\u2014more advanced than basic phone recording but far cheaper than pro broadcast gear.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Pre-orders are live on the official site, with colors like Edge Green and Shadow Grey. A one-year warranty, free returns, and regular firmware updates are included.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    For parents tired of shaky handheld videos or coaches wanting easy highlights, the XbotGo Falcon could be a game-changer. As AI cameras evolve, subscription-free options like this make advanced tech more reachable.
