This is Mondo Robotics' first Kickstarter, so no track record yet, but the pedigree is real. It is a 150-person crew across Palo Alto and Shenzhen, with leadership out of autonomous mobility, optical imaging, and rugged electronics. A Projects We Love pick that reads like seasoned hardware people, not hobbyists.
A pocket-sized rover that follows you at 17.9 mph, hops 10-inch obstacles, and rights itself after a spill. It shoots 4K with HDR color, offers tail, side, and circle tracking, and smooths everything with HybridFlow. The magnetic Motion Tracker and its playful personality make it feel like a sidekick, not a gadget.
Genuinely thoughtful here: a stated three-year lifespan target backed by aging, drop, heat, and humidity testing. Built for repairability and real aftersales support, with a one-year warranty and customs covered. Its AI-use note is refreshingly honest, keeping human engineers in charge and using AI only where it earns its place.
The Super Early Bird Standard Combo at $549 arrives ready to film, bundling Beni, a battery, the Motion Tracker, hat, and protection plate. Step up to the Explore Combo at $639 for two extra batteries, a charging hub, and off-road wheels. Against the $799 retail, that is a lot of capable robot per dollar.
First Kickstart but seems legit.
I love the little guy, I want one! The following options seems great for making videos, and it seems to be able to tackle a lot of terrain. It also looks good.
Electronics are never good for the environment, but that is the way it goes. Making something to last it the best way to deal with it.
It is reasonable price pretty good for what it is.
I want one if these cuties for making videos and for fun.
