Summary
$469 early-bird pricing puts HoverAir’s Versa on Indiegogo as a palm-sized 4K gimbal camera that converts into a self-flying device with snap-on wings.
A 1/1.3-inch sensor, 3-axis gimbal and 10-bit HDR/H-Log support anchor the handheld side, while the flight kit lifts total weight to 230 grams for up to 14 minutes at 36 km/h.
$629 and $899 bundles add batteries, chargers and accessories, and HoverAir says shipping should start in October after the campaign raised more than $245,000 in its first day.
FCC certification could give Versa an unusual opening in the U.S. market, where HoverAir says it can sell the product while newer DJI models remain blocked.
