HoverAir Aqua Standard ComboHoverAir builds on its award-winning flying camera lineup, introducing Aqua, the world’s first fully waterproof self flying camera that takes off and lands directly on water. Designed for water sports, coastal adventures, and long lake days, Aqua captures action across oceans, rivers, and shorelines with complete freedom.
Advanced AI subject tracking powers 10+ automated flight modes delivering dynamic, cinematic footage completely hands free. 4K at 100fps slow motion and HDR up to 4K at 60fps preserve rich detail in fast action, while built-in stabilization keeps footage smooth in choppy, unpredictable conditions. Pair it with the Beacon and Joysticks for precise manual control and creative freedom on the open water.
The Lighthouse is a wearable tracking and controlling device that keeps you connected to Aqua at all times. Equipped with RTK (Real-time kinematics), the Lighthouse and Aqua maintain centimeter-level positional data of each other at all
times, greatly enhancing Aqua’s tracking ability. The Lighthouse also makes it easy to start or stop recording and return to home with a single button press.
With a 55 km/h top speed and Level 7 wind resistance, Aqua shifts effortlessly from high-speed surfing and sailing to relaxed kayaking and paddleboarding sessions. TurtleFlip lets Aqua right itself if it lands upside down on the water’s surface, and its sub 250 g design means no registration is required. More than a drone, Aqua redefines how you capture life on the water, hassle free, hands free, and cinematic.
Key features- Aqua Flies Itself: Featuring 10+ fully automatic flight modes, including Follow, Orbit, and Bird’s Eye. Switch to dedicated modes for kayaking, paddleboarding, and surfing, each tuned for smooth, cinematic tracking on the water.
- AI-Powered Subject Tracking: Powered by advanced sensors, Aqua automatically locks onto the subject and keeps you perfectly framed, with no controller or input required.
- Fully Waterproof Floating Design: IP67 rated and engineered for total waterproofing and corrosion resistance. Aqua handles waves, saltwater, and rain, then launches from and lands directly on the water’s surface, so you never worry about losing your drone at sea.
- 55 km/h Top Speed: Keep pace with any water-based activity and stay stable in strong winds with impressive Level 7 wind resistance.
- 4K Resolution at 100fps and HDR: Capture crisp 4K footage at 100fps and replay every moment in smooth slow motion. HDR up to 4K at 60fps balances bright highlights and deep shadows on reflective water surfaces.
- 128GB Integrated Flash Storage: No need for SD cards. Aqua features 128GB of built-in storage, giving you plenty of space for all your footage.
