AQUA replaces static POVs and manual drones with AI-powered tracking, waterproof design, and compact portability. Building on the legacy of X1 and PRO/PROMAX, HOVERAir extends its reach from hiking, skiing, and biking into the world of water-sports. AQUA adds faster flight speed, longer flight time, real-time video, an IP-67 water resistance rating, and neutral buoyancy. It automatically follows you over and around water, delivering smooth, dynamic shots from new angles—perfect for water-sport enthusiasts.

Equipped with a 4K/100 fps slow-motion camera, 1/1.28" CMOS sensor, and hydrophobic lens, AQUA delivers stunning video quality. It offers over 15 automated flight modes, including snorkel and mount modes, Level 7 wind resistance (up to 33 knots), weighs under 249g (no FAA registration required), provides 23 minutes of flight time, and reaches a maximum tracking speed of 55 km/h (34 mph).

HOVERAir AQUA comes with its companion device - Lighthouse, worn on the user's arm, offering full control over AQUA: takeoff, landing, recording, mode selection, and remote recall. Its Virtual Tether detects when AQUA moves beyond a set distance and automatically prompts it to return. AQUA also features a 1.6'' AMOLED display for live preview and quick footage review without connecting to a mobile device.

AQUA is a cutting-edge personal aerial camera engineered for effortless use on and around water. "AQUA represents a natural extension of HOVERAir's mission to empower users to capture their greatest life moments hands-free and without boundaries—whether on land or water," says MQ Wang, founder and CEO of Zero Zero Robotics.

AQUA delivers hands-free tracking, stable flight, and simple Lighthouse control—ideal for any water adventure. Be first to experience AQUA—visit the Indiegogo campaign page [https://www.indiegogo.com/projects/hoverair-aqua-first-waterproof-self-flying-camera/reft/33958781/PR-Newswire].
