- All-Terrain Chassis: Navigates pavement, dirt, gravel, grass, and moderate off-road surfaces while matching the pace of runners, cyclists, and active dogs
- Ground-Level Cinematic Perspective: Captures immersive low-angle shots that drones and tripods cannot achieve, ideal for action sports, pet footage, and solo content creation
