Hover Camera Design, Price and Battery

The Hover Camera by Zero Zero Robotics has a body made with carbon fiber that makes it lightweight and strong. This Hover Camera has a compact, small and light body is a combination of a camera and a drone. It also has four motors and propellers that are attached to the body. This is due to the design of the body that could be easy on the wallet.

It’s very fun and approachable to use, but the Hover Camera Passport definitely isn’t the drone to get if you’re looking for high-performance flight like Mavic Pro. It tops out at 17 miles per hour (In manual mode), doesn’t have GPS, and has a suggested max range of 65 feet, so it’s not nearly as sporty or nimble as some of the higher-end drones we’ve tested.

The Hover Camera Passport has an accompanying app that gives you a fair number of controller layout options. You can fly with two virtual joysticks if you’re familiar with traditional controls; use the simplified layout if you just need to get the camera in position; or even turn on tilt mode and steer the drone around by tilting your phone in any direction. As with most smartphone-based controls, the Passport’s manual modes do feel a bit loose and imprecise — but we still appreciate the ability to switch up the control scheme.

When it comes to image and video quality, on the other hand, the Hover Camera boasts of results with the same high-quality that most expensive smartphones capable of 4K video recording can offer. Other features include a processor that is used in most high-end smartphones which is the Qualcomm Snapdragon 801 processor. Moreover, storage of photos and video is possible using 32GB storage that can also be replaced. Also, the Hover camera uses “follow me” technology that makes it follow the user wherever the location is, either from behind or from above.

Internal battery life, though, is just roughly eight minutes but it can be changed easily as it can easily be removed from the upper section of the Hover camera. For the ease-of-use feature, the Hover Camera has automatic hovering capacity and by simply throwing it in the air, it can start operation. It also has an Algorithm Face tracking feature that makes it capable of following the user by just determining the face. It is also equipped with automated image stabilization and capable of shooting at 360 degrees. For controlling the device, an app can be downloaded to a compatible mobile phone or tablet.

The Hover Camera Passport is currently available for $599.99 with the extra battery pack running $44.99.So just what does your $600 investment in the latest drone to hit the market get you?You can get a very capable DJI Phantom 3 Standard $499 for less,or just $399 more to get DJI Mavic Pro.Or you could get them if don’t go with the $599 Hover Camera.
