Tired of filming your own adventure like a penguin holding a selfie stick? Mondo Robotics Beni is a two-wheeled 4K follow-cam that rolls, jumps, flips back onto its wheels, and keeps the shot while you pretend you are not performing for a robot. Brand price right now: $599 (was $799), with shipping aimed around November 2026.
Beni’s pitch is simple: you move, it follows. Tail, side, front, and circle tracking cover the usual “film me without hiring a second human” angles, with a Motion Tracker that can keep lock even when you briefly ghost out of view. Optics claim 4K at 30fps (also 3K/60, 1080p/100), a wide 155 degree FOV, HybridFlow 3.0 stabilization, and on-device highlight auto-editing so the robot does some of the cut for you. Privacy note from Mondo: follow-and-film stays on-device.
The chassis flex is the fun part. Max speed around 17.9 mph (28.8 kph), curb hops up to about 10 inches, obstacle avoidance with live reroutes, and a self-recovery flip when it tumbles. Specs sheet: about 3.86 lb (1.75 kg), roughly 8.5 x 7.1 x 7.1 inches, ~1.5 hours per battery (swap packs for more), 32GB internal plus microSD, and a working window of 32F-104F. Standard kit includes Beni, one battery, Motion Tracker, hat, chest plate, and standard wheels – off-road wheels and extras are a la carte.
Fair caveats: this is a pre-order with a ~Nov 2026 delivery estimate, not a next-day porch drop. It is built for indoor/outdoor play but is not a submarine – skip heavy rain and dunking. Mondo says tracking is optimized for people and dogs (pets and park chaos, not every random squirrel). If autonomous follow-cams are your love language, our archive already covered the flying cousins – Skydio R1 and the cautionary Lily Camera – plus modern “don’t aim” energy from the Insta360 X6.
Who it is for, per Mondo: pets, families, tennis players, skateboarders – anyone who wants cinematic-ish follow footage without turning every outing into a two-person film set. 15-day returns after delivery, 1-year warranty on manufacturing defects / normal-use hardware / factory software faults, free shipping to most major regions.
Pre-order Mondo Robotics Beni ($599, was $799) if your life already looks like a highlight reel and you are tired of being both the star and the camera op.
