Overview

Not a joystick drone you fly by hand, the HOVERAir camera launches from the palm and runs preset flight paths on its own. Fully enclosed guards protect the props, and footage saves to internal storage.

Hands-free filming lets vloggers, cyclists and hikers get moving shots without a pilot. Enclosed props make close-range flying less nerve-racking. Each battery covers only a short session, so extra batteries matter for a full day.

Who it's for

Outdoor creators who film themselves get a small drone that follows along on its own. People wanting cinematic manual flying or long endurance should look at larger drones.

Performance notes

Visual tracking and inertial odometry let it lock onto a subject and hold position without GPS-style piloting. Triple stabilization smooths footage at speed. Battery size limits each session, and wind affects how steadily such a light drone holds its path.
