HoverAir Aqua review – There really is nothing like it this waterproof drone, but does that mean you should buy it?

The HoverAir Aqua is a unique drone that can land on water, right itself, and return to flight. It is fully waterproof and self-piloting, making it ideal for activities like paddleboarding, kayaking, surfing, boating, jet skiing, and e-foiling. The drone offers 4K video at 100 Mbps (2.7K vertical), a 1/1.28-inch CMOS sensor, a range of 1km with a beacon, and wind resistance up to 38mph. It is waterproof with an IP67 rating, has 128GB of internal storage, a 23-minute battery life, and weighs 249g.

The drone comes with a built-in screen and four buttons at the front, along with a Lighthouse, which is an arm-worn remote control. The Lighthouse provides additional control and helps the drone locate its user. The drone supports Wi-Fi control and comes with a waterproof bag for batteries and a charging hub. Despite its innovative features, the drone requires a high level of confidence and skill from its users, and some aspects of its design, such as the lack of a case, could be improved.
