HANGZHOU, China, Aug. 22, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — This summer, aerial videography takes a bold leap onto the water. Introducing HOVERAir AQUA —the world’s first 100% waterproof, self-flying camera designed for water activities. Built for creators, athletes, and innovators, AQUA offers a hands-free and pilot-free aerial video experience. Whether stand-up paddleboarding, kayaking, wakeboarding, jet-skiing, or boating, AQUA captures stunning third-person shots effortlessly. AQUA launches on Indiegogo for $999 USD (early bird) on August 21, 2025, at 9 AM PST.
AQUA replaces static POVs and manual drones with AI-powered tracking, waterproof design, and compact portability. Building on the legacy of X1 and PRO/PROMAX, HOVERAir extends its reach from hiking, skiing, and biking into the world of water-sports. AQUA adds faster flight speed, longer flight time, real-time video, an IP-67 water resistance rating, and neutral buoyancy. It automatically follows you over and around water, delivering smooth, dynamic shots from new angles—perfect for water-sport enthusiasts.
Equipped with a 4K/100 fps slow-motion camera, 1/1.28″ CMOS sensor, and hydrophobic lens, AQUA delivers stunning video quality. It offers over 15 automated flight modes, including snorkel and mount modes, Level 7 wind resistance (up to 33 knots), weighs under 249g (no FAA registration required), provides 23 minutes of flight time, and reaches a maximum tracking speed of 55 km/h (34 mph).
HOVERAir AQUA comes with its companion device – Lighthouse, worn on the user’s arm, offering full control over AQUA: takeoff, landing, recording, mode selection, and remote recall. Its Virtual Tether detects when AQUA moves beyond a set distance and automatically prompts it to return. AQUA also features a 1.6” AMOLED display for live preview and quick footage review without connecting to a mobile device.
AQUA is a cutting-edge personal aerial camera engineered for effortless use on and around water. “AQUA represents a natural extension of HOVERAir’s mission to empower users to capture their greatest life moments hands-free and without boundaries—whether on land or water,” says MQ Wang, founder and CEO of Zero Zero Robotics.
AQUA delivers hands-free tracking, stable flight, and simple Lighthouse control—ideal for any water adventure. Be first to experience AQUA—visit the Indiegogo campaign page.
