HOVERAir AQUA brings AI-powered tracking to water-based drone filming

Zero Zero Robotics has introduced the HOVERAir AQUA, a fully waterproof, self-flying drone designed specifically for water-based filming, targeting watersports and outdoor recreation enthusiasts. Unlike conventional drones, AQUA can take off from and land directly on water, featuring an IP67-rated waterproof and buoyant design that enables operation in wet and unpredictable environments. Equipped with AI-powered tracking, a 4K camera capable of 100 fps recording, and a hydrophobic lens, the drone can capture high-quality footage hands-free while following users in third-person view. It supports speeds up to 55 km/h, withstands level-7 wind conditions, and offers up to 23 minutes of flight time, making it suitable for activities like wakesurfing, kayaking, and sailing. The AQUA drone includes over 10 smart flight modes, such as Snorkel and Mount Modes, to enhance filming versatility on and around water. A wearable Lighthouse controller allows for easy takeoff, landing, and mode switching
