In September 2025, Dr. David Tan and his team at XbotGo launched a Kickstarter for a camera they believed would change sports. It was a 4K AI system that filmed the entire game on its own. One button starts it and the camera follows the action while tracking individual players. People loved the idea. In 45 days, more than 5,000 backers pledged $2.5 million to build it. At CES 2026, the XbotGo Falcon will make its world debut. It is the first true 4K AI camera made for team sports. Visit our booth and be among the first to experience the Falcon.

If you have a child in sports, you already know the problem. Games move fast. Parents try to film and watch at the same time, but it is almost impossible to do both well. So you miss the big plays, the video comes out shaky, and on the days you can't make it to the game, you miss everything anyway. Most parents give up entirely and don't even bother filming.

As kids get older and more serious about sports, some club teams start using subscription-based tracking cameras. These systems cost several thousand dollars and include expensive yearly fees. Worst of all, parents are often asked to help pay for them, even though the families never own the camera. And most clubs don't even use these systems, leaving millions of players without any game footage.

The Falcon changes this completely. It gives each family their own AI sports camera at a price that makes sense.

There are no subscription fees, no shared club equipment, and no complicated setup. Parents finally get a tool built just for them.

Falcon lets families record every game in crisp 4K. They can review plays, support their child’s growth, share highlights with coaches, and build a video collection for tryouts, recruiting, and memories to treasure.

Falcon puts the power back in the hands of parents. It brings pro-level filming to the sidelines, and it makes sure every player is seen.

That's why the Falcon matters and why 5,000+ people pledged $2.5 million to make it happen.

1) XbotGo Falcon: 4K AI Camera for Team Sports

Falcon is built for both team and individual sports, adapting its AI logic to soccer, basketball, hockey, volleyball, football, tennis, pickleball, baseball, and more. It understands motion patterns, game rules, and framing needs to deliver professional, game-ready footage every time.

2) Capture the Game in Stunning 4K

Falcon records native 4K at 30fps with no cropping, using a Sony image sensor for accurate color and sharp detail. Its wide dynamic range ensures clear results in fast action, low-light environments, and sideline shooting.

3) AI Game Analysis

Falcon analyzes the game in real time, tracking player movement, speed zones, heatmaps, and intensity levels. These insights help coaches and athletes identify patterns, improve strategy, and make data-driven decisions.

4) Live View & Monitoring

Monitor gameplay from any phone in real time, viewing key moments and stats from up to 120m away. With built-in free live streaming, you can broadcast directly to YouTube, Facebook, XbotGo Live, or any RTMP platform instantly.

5) Powered by XbotGo App

Falcon integrates seamlessly with the XbotGo App, enabling on-phone recording, monitoring, editing, instant replay, highlights, and scoreboard tools — all without subscriptions. Continuous updates ensure smarter features and better performance over time.

6) Smart Tracking & Auto Zoom

Falcon’s AI uses motion and pose detection to maintain perfect framing. Its intelligent auto zoom adapts smoothly to close-ups and wide plays, creating stable, cinematic footage that matches real game flow.

XbotGo began with a simple idea from its founder, Dr. David Tan. While watching his child play, Dr. Tan saw parents trying to film games and missing the joy of the moment. The videos were shaky, the angles were wrong, and the experience was stressful. Professional tools were too expensive, and the technology that existed was too hard for families to use. He wanted something better, something smart and simple that could help real sports families capture memories without losing the moment itself.

The first product, the XbotGo Gimbal, launched in 2023. It helped parents steady their filming and was the company’s first step toward making sports recording easier for everyone.

In 2024, XbotGo introduced the XbotGo Chameleon, the direct predecessor to the Falcon. Chameleon is an AI-powered phone mount that turns any smartphone into a smart sports camera. It tracks the action automatically, follows players on its own, and gives families hands-free filming without needing special equipment. To bring Chameleon to life, XbotGo turned to Kickstarter and raised $329,612. This funding helped the team produce the device, refine its AI, and deliver it to families and teams around the world.

Chameleon took off. As more parents and coaches used it, XbotGo grew quickly. What started as a small idea became a

fast-growing sports-technology brand trusted across the globe. Today, XbotGo products are used in 100+ countries, from neighborhood fields to major training centers. More than 500 sports teams rely on XbotGo for hands-free filming and accurate AI tracking. The platform now serves over 200,000 active members, and together they have recorded more than 5,226,000 hours of sports across more than 20 different sports.

Building on this momentum, in September 2025 XbotGo launched the Falcon on Kickstarter. Falcon marked the company’s next big leap, a dedicated 4K AI sports camera. The response was amazing. The campaign raised $2,548,287 from 5,099 backers, giving XbotGo the resources to scale Falcon’s production for its official debut at CES 2026.

Today, XbotGo has become a globally recognized AI sports-technology brand. Families and teams around the world rely on its products to capture smarter, clearer, and more meaningful sports moments.

Even as it expands worldwide, XbotGo stays rooted in what sparked it in the first place, a parent who wanted a smarter way to film their child’s game. Today, that same spirit drives a global brand helping families capture every game with clarity and ease.

XbotGo was created by Dr. David Tan, a computer vision expert, hardware innovator, and devoted soccer dad.

Before founding the company, Dr. Tan spent more than ten years leading global research and development teams. He worked in senior roles at Amazon, Qualcomm, Bell Labs, and AT&T Labs. At Amazon, he led design and implementation of the first-generation Fire TV, Echo smart speakers, and robotics platforms. His work in these roles gave him deep experience in building hardware and software systems used by millions of people.

Dr. Tan’s technical expertise includes advanced consumer electronics, embedded systems, AI imaging, and connectivity technologies. He has been passionate about photography and imaging innovation for more than a decade, which influenced the camera and AI systems inside every XbotGo product.

He holds a Ph.D. in Computer Science and a Bachelor’s degree in Electronic Engineering. His background in research, engineering, and product design helped shape XbotGo into a company built on smart ideas, strong technology, and a real desire to help families capture the moments that matter most.
