Hover Camera Passport video test

Here is a short video using the Hover Camera Passport and an external camera for those of you who want to see it in action:

This video only shows a small portion of the shots where I had trouble flying the Hover Camera Passport. It does take practice — but not nearly as much practice as flying a traditional quad-copter. With the Passport, you don’t have to learn to take off, land or hover. You simply press the power button, and when the fans start, you let go.

The Hover Camera Passport app was simple and easy to understand even without the instructional screens. Plus, the Passport doesn’t require any bulky remote controls. That’s one less thing to charge, one less thing to keep track of, and one less thing to pack.

You can just look down at the app and fly, since the controls sit on top of a real-time video feed coming from the Hover Camera Passport. Whether the camera is recording or not, you can see what your Passport sees at all times. It’s a little disorienting at first, but once you get used to it you can fly without ever having to look up.

Since the Hover Camera Passport communicates with your phone using Wi-Fi, it delivers your photos straight from the drone to your phone’s camera roll wirelessly. It happens immediately and seamlessly. The videos don’t download automatically, because they take longer to transfer and take up much more space on your phone. If you prefer to transfer files straight to your computer, the Passport comes with a USB 3.0 cord.

The still photos that come out of the Passport are also beautiful. Here are a few examples, if you’re curious:

The Hover Camera Passport costs at $599.Looking at the current drone and digital cameras market it becomes very clear that Hover Camera is an overpriced product. However if you can accept the value that Hover provides for the price it definitely will be a great choice.
