I've been looking for a way to get epic drone shots, as well as follow cam footage, but without needing anyone to sit on the beach and fly the drone, so hopefully this Hover air is the answer! Let's test the Hover Air Aqua!
In this video we will test if it lives up to the hype! As someone who has never flown or owned a drone before, I put this fully waterproof, self-flying camera through a complete real-world test to see if it actually delivers and works for people like me!
In this video, we go from unboxing and first-time setup to testing the different flight modes (Hover, Follow, Orbit) and taking it out on the water. I cover how it handles water relaunches, winds, battery runtimes, getting files off the 128GB internal storage, and why having a hands-free "cameraman" changes a lot for how i can get footage plus progress at riding

What we cover in this review:

Unboxing & First Flight: Setup process and connecting to the system.

Flight Modes & Tracking: Testing Hover, Orbit, and Follow distance (including flying under bridges).

Real Water & Wind Performance: Water relaunch, handling 20-knot winds, and horizon leveling stability.

Battery & Landing: Real runtime across 5 clips, auto-landing on water, and getting footage off the internal storage.

4 Reasons I Like It: Why it works for solo creators, b-roll, and tracking progression.

Room for Improvement: What needs work (lens cover, bag, and multi-mode settings).
