Zero Zero Unveils HoverAir Aqua, a Waterproof Self‑Flying Camera Built for Water

Preorders open on Indiegogo at $999 for a hands‑free, water‑native camera built for watersports.

Overview

  • IP67-rated design floats, self-rights, and can take off and land on open water, enabling hands-free filming on lakes, rivers, and the sea.
  • The arm-worn Lighthouse acts as a remote and Virtual Tether for reliable subject tracking, with 15+ autonomous flight modes including a snorkel mode.
  • A 1/1.28–1/1.3-inch sensor records up to 4K at 100 fps, paired with a hydrophobic self-heating lens, a 1.6-inch AMOLED screen, and 128 GB onboard storage in a sub‑249 g body that avoids FAA registration.
  • Claimed performance includes roughly 23 minutes of flight per charge, a 34 mph follow speed, and stability in strong winds; some coverage reports millimeter‑wave radar for near‑surface sensing.
  • The Indiegogo campaign is live at $999, with deliveries variably projected from late 2025 to early 2026—TechRadar cites Q1 2026—and review units are expected in Q4 2025.
