The Hover camera showed up in the beginning of this year and made a big impression within the drone industry. There were a lot of critiques about the product but unlike the Lily Drone, Hover camera delivered what they promised and officially released their drone today.
Even the name of the product speaks for itself even though it’s not a much of a drone. It’s a compact camera that hovers and takes pictures and videos of you wherever and whenever you want.
Let’s take a closer look at some key features of the Hover Camera:
Face Tracking
Kind of the same thing that your mobile phone has but it also can turn the camera to follow your face when you getting out of the frame.
Body Tracking
The real difference with the face tracking is still unclear but the body tracking is what DJI would call Active Track. This feature allows the drone follow the object without any extra GPS, but just by “seeing” and recognizing it.
Grab & Go
There is no drone on a market that is as safe as Hover Camera. The grill surface protects propellers from the impact so you can just grab the drone any way you want and still have 5 fingers on your hand.
Portability
Hover Camera is as small as 181*132*33 mm. You can put it in every bag and it take with you. The weight of 242 grams includes the battery which is super light. On the other hand, how it will perform outdoors in not-so-windy conditions is a question yet to be answered.
