ROBOTIC SIGHT / EXTREME REACH

RocXZoom.
Distance within reach.

RocXZoom brings long-range zoom, subject recognition and motorized tracking together in a compact camera made for moments that will not stand still.

THE LONG SHOT, REIMAGINED

RocXZoom is more than a longer lens.

At extreme zoom, a small movement can push a distant subject out of frame. RocXZoom pairs its zoom lens with robotic movement and recognition software to help follow the action as it unfolds.

A CLOSER LOOK

The same distant building at 1× and 20×. These comparison images were provided by FarseerTech; the full 50× range also uses digital zoom.

THREE PARTS, ONE SHOT

How RocXZoom finds
and follows a subject.

FarseerTech describes RocXZoom as a long-range optical assistant: computer vision identifies a subject, a motorized head follows it, and the lens brings the scene into view.

01 / RECOGNIZE

Spot the subject.

On-device recognition is designed for birds, animals and people. FarseerTech says the camera can identify more than 300 species.

02 / TRACK

Stay with the action.

A motorized pan-and-tilt head follows the selected subject, reducing the need to manually chase it at long focal lengths.

03 / ZOOM

See farther.

Move from 20× optical zoom to a claimed 50× hybrid range, equivalent to 40–2,000 mm across the full zoom span.

WATCH THE PRODUCT VIDEO

Keep distant subjects in frame.

RocXZoom combines 20× optical zoom with subject recognition and motorized pan-and-tilt tracking. That pairing matters when birds or other moving subjects are too far away to follow comfortably by hand.

BEFORE YOU EXPLORE REWARDS

Before backing RocXZoom.

Use the campaign for the latest reward details, availability, shipping and delivery estimates.

Is 50× zoom optical?

No. FarseerTech lists 20× optical zoom and 50× hybrid zoom. Its Kickstarter FAQ describes a 40–2,000 mm equivalent range, combining optical and digital zoom.

Does the camera track moving subjects?

FarseerTech says RocXZoom uses subject recognition and motorized pan-and-tilt movement to follow a selected subject. Real-world results may vary with the scene and conditions.

Is the gimbal for my camera included?

Not with every configuration. The standalone RocXZoom camera and the separate camera-plus-gimbal options are distinct setups. Review the exact reward contents on Kickstarter before pledging.

Where can I check price, shipping and delivery?

The Kickstarter campaign has the current reward tiers, regional shipping details and estimated delivery information. Crowdfunding rewards and timelines can change.
