Will you get hover camera?

Hover Camera Passport battery

The Hover Camera Passport is finally here. Safe, portable, foldable, and easy-to-use. Everything you need in a flying camera. What we really want to know is will you get a Hover Camera?

Once unfolded, users can see an adjustable camera —complete with flash —on the front of the device. It’s capable of capturing 4K ultra-high-definition video, as well as 13-megapixel images, putting it about on par with Apple’s iPhone 6s lens.

Impressively, the Passport includes sensors on the bottom, including sonar, to measure the distance from air to ground. This allows for safe indoor use, giving the drone some idea of how far it is off the ground, and helping it to maintain a set altitude.

Once it’s in the air, it can capture 13MP photos and 4K video, which you control from a smartphone app. And thanks to facial recognition technology, it’ll follow you around, trying to stay perfectly level as it does.

Here’s where the fun begins. Once airborne, the Hover Camera will follow a subject autonomously as he or she moves and record all the action with its 13-megapixel camera. The camera records video at resolutions up to 4K Ultra HD. The device can also rotate in place to take 360-degree panoramic photos, and it has plenty more tricks up its sleeve.

The team at Zero Zero claims anybody should be able to use the Hover right out of the box, because its AI and advanced flight algorithms will do all of the work of keeping Hover airborne for you.

There’s no getting around it. The Hover Camera Passport looks like it could be the tech product to buy. Sure, the DJI Mavic Pro offers an unparalleled high-spec experience, but for your standard flying selfie machine, the Hover Camera has been built with simplicity in mind and comes in at half the price – not that the two can really be compared of course. The Hover Camera is directed at a totally different clientele – we’re thinking younger people with no previous experience of flying, but that are still comfortable using an app to control a device. So pretty much all millennials then.
