HoverAir’s Versa, a pocket camera that can attach wings to become a drone, has stopped US orders just days after its Indiegogo debut as the FCC drone ban tightens; the company says it will ship only the camera in the US, not the Flight Kit that makes it a drone, and the FCC’s records show no current drone authorization for the device, signaling a likely ban and refunds for backers.
HoverAir’s Versa is a camera-first handheld device that can become a small drone with an optional Flight Kit. The kit uses no RF transmitters, allowing HoverAir to claim FCC certification for sale in the USA and potentially sidestep the foreign-drone ban; the Indiegogo campaign starts with a camera-only price of $449 and Flight Kit options later. When assembled, the Versa weighs 230 g, avoiding FAA registration for recreational use, while commercial pilots would need a Remote ID transmitter. Specs include 4K60 video, a 1/1.3-inch sensor, OLED touchscreen, and a 3-axis stabilized camera. The situation marks a notable FCC shift, but crowdfunding outcomes and regulatory scrutiny remain uncertain.
