Hover Camera VS Dobby: Who is the king of selife drone?

The foldable drone trend is getting hotter week by week. Zerotech initiated it back in May 2016 with the Dobby drone, a tiny ‘cute’ drone with foldable arms. More recently, we got introduced to the Hover Camera Passport; another little book-sized drone which folds like one as well. Thus let’s compare the two drones!

Both drones automatically hover and let go and they can automatically follow you or your pet around. I am pretty sure your get will be excited about the prospect of a drone following it around. The Dobby and the Hover Camera carry a 13MP camera capable of recording 4K video. Both stream video via Wi-Fi to a smartphone. A smartphone app is used to control the drones. The Dobby also reacts to voice commands and gestures.

The Zerotech Dobby has an advertised speed of 40km/h while the Hover Camera Passport can fly at up to 27km/h. Maximum speed in this case is very important if you want the drone to follow you during a bike ride or other kind of activities with fast movements. The Hover Camera Passport might not be able to catch up!

Another important feature for those who get into drones for the first time, is the presence of some sort of hovering assistance, as it may come hard to keep the drone in a determined position when there’s wind and you still aren’t fully trained. Because of that, the Zerotech Dobby packs a GPS as well as GLONASS dual satellite navigation system to guarantee accurate hovering both indoor and outdoor, with wind speeds up to 28km/h.

On the other side, the Hover Camera Passport doesn’t seem to feature GPS-supported hover modes.

The Zerotech Dobby does seem like a strong contender to the Hover Camera Passport, and it might just be a good idea to get one right now. On the other hand, the Hover Camera Passport seems much more suited for first time drone pilots and folks who wish to film indoors.
