HoverAir Aqua: The Waterproof Drone That Follows You Across Water
HoverAir Aqua is a waterproof drone designed to follow you on water using a wearable Lighthouse beacon, with water-specific follow modes (Kayak, SUP, Orbit, Spiral) and adjustable distances. It records 1080p/4K video up to 60fps (12MP stills) and stores footage on 128GB onboard; weighs 249g and is IP-67 waterproof, priced at $1,299 and not yet available in the US due to regulatory complexities. Control can be via the drone’s display or the Hover app, and a Turtle Flip self-rights the drone if flipped, but prerelease firmware has caused occasional disconnections and jerky motion in some modes. Overall, it stands out for letting you film on the water without worrying about sinking your gear.
