The 2-in-1 device from ZeroZero Robotics records 4K 60fps video and converts from a pocket gimbal camera into a self-flying camera with modular propeller accessories.
HOVERAir introduced HOVERAir VERSA, a 2-in-1 handheld gimbal camera and self-flying camera. The device targets creators who want handheld stability plus aerial perspectives from a single tool. Lightweight snap-on propeller accessories convert VERSA from handheld to airborne mode. The system supports handheld selfies, POV shots, AI follow footage and cinematic aerial views. HOVERAir is a product line from ZeroZero Robotics, which pioneered the self-flying camera category.
