Overview

  • The Indiegogo preorder campaign is live with a $999 early‑bird price, with deliveries expected in early 2026 and review units targeted for late 2025.
  • The IP67-rated drone is designed to float, right itself if upside down, and take off and land on lakes, rivers, or the sea.
  • The included Lighthouse accessory acts as a wearable beacon and remote for launches and tracking, and a Virtual Tether feature prompts automatic return if it drifts beyond a set range.
  • Core specs include a 1/1.3-inch sensor with 4K/100fps video, 12MP stills, a hydrophobic self-heating lens, an estimated 23-minute flight time, up to 34 mph tracking, and stability in roughly 33–40 mph winds.
  • The Aqua adds a 1.6-inch AMOLED preview screen and 128GB of built-in storage, weighs under 249g to ease regulatory burdens, and offers more than 15 autonomous modes tailored to watersports.
