HoverAir Versa FlySmart Combo

HoverAir Versa FlySmart Combo

The HoverAir Versa FlySmart Combo is a pocket gimbal camera with a detachable Flight Kit that turns the camera into a self-flying camera in a few seconds. The set is aimed at creators who film on their own and want both handheld and aerial shots. You get the Versa Pocket with battery, the Flight Kit, a Gimbal Protector and a carry bag.

Camera and image quality

The Versa has a 1/1.3-inch sensor and records 4K at 60 fps. With HDR it records 4K at 30 fps, and for slow motion 1080p at 120 fps. HoverAir specifies a dynamic range of 17.5 stops. 10-bit HDR gives you room to correct colours afterwards and match them with footage from other cameras. The 3-axis gimbal rotates for true vertical 4K shots, in your hand and in the air.

Flying with the Flight Kit

The Flight Kit clicks onto the camera with the MagLatch system. The Versa then takes off from your palm and follows you at speeds of up to 36 km/h. There are more than ten smart flight modes, such as Follow, Orbit, Zoom Out, Bird's Eye and Dolly Zoom. The propellers are fully enclosed by guards and the frame folds, so it packs easily into your bag. One battery gives up to 14 minutes of flight, measured under test conditions. In flying mode the Versa weighs 230 grams. Check with the competent authority in your country which rules apply to your flight.

Operation and storage

Flip open the screen and the camera switches on, ready to film. On the 1.64-inch OLED touchscreen you can review your footage straight away. You control the Versa with hand gestures, the Hover app, the separately available MiCo controller or manually with the Beacon & JoySticks. Footage is stored on 64 GB of internal memory or a microSD card of up to 1 TB and transferred via USB-C or Wi-Fi 6. In Handheld Mode, one battery lasts up to 180 minutes.
