HoverAir unveils the Versa modular pocket gimbal camera that transforms into a self-flying drone — Modular camera transforms into an auto-tracking drone by magnetically snapping together for instant palm launch and AI tracking

Have you ever wanted a pocket gimbal camera and a selfie drone that follows your around autonomously in one device? That's what the HoverAir Versa offers with a transforming, two-in-one body that can make filming yourself from all sorts of angles as convenient as possible.

HoverAir unveils the Versa modular pocket gimbal camera that transforms into a self-flying drone — Modular camera transforms into an auto-tracking drone by magnetically snapping together for instant palm launch and AI tracking

HoverAir, a company known for crafting self-flying selfie drones, has introduced the HoverAir Versa, a groundbreaking modular pocket gimbal camera. This innovative device unites their existing aerial technology with the portability of a compact camera. The Versa is essentially a high-quality stabilized pocket gimbal camera, akin to the DJI Osmo, but it can magnetically attach to a drone body to morph into a cinematic selfie drone.

The primary objective of the Versa is to streamline the process of filming oneself or others in both scenarios, offering an unparalleled user experience.

The Versa boasts a three-axis gimbal, which provides superior stability by adjusting for tilt, yaw, and pitch. Unlike other pocket cameras that typically offer only two-axis stabilization, the Versa stands out with its advanced three-axis feature. Additionally, the device features a rotating screen and accompanying controls, along with RGB accent lighting that serves as both a status indicator and a stylish accessory.

While the camera itself may seem ordinary at first glance, the real magic unfolds when the drone body is attached.

This is where the Versa's unique selling point comes into play. By magnetically connecting to a foldable drone body via pogo pins, the camera can transform into an auto-tracking drone that launches instantly from your palm. No external controller is required, as the device relies on AI to track and follow you seamlessly. The Versa offers 10+ intelligent modes that enable filming from any angle with AI-assisted framing, as well as a 360° feature that captures the scene from various perspectives and composites them into a single 360° video clip that can be explored and shared later.

This innovative mode, called "3D Worlds," sets the Versa apart from its competitors, even in the highly competitive Insta360 market.
