Hover Camera

[ZZ Drone]

I am thinking about getting Mavic primarily for taking photos of crowds. Just saw this,

First look: Hover Camera Passport, a lightweight, portable, iPhone-connected flying 4K selfie cam

Wonder this might be a better option considering how easy, safe it is compared to a real drone.

Probably not.

Skip to the 3 minute mark if you want to see footage.

 

[HeliFreak]

I agree. probably not as safe or easy....

As Ghandi once said to his followers as they passed a pile of elephant dung.....I wouldn't touch that steaming pile of ****!!!

That's an awesome portable fan =)

I saw this many years ago. It had 4 round guards though. Very good concept.

Currently dismantling my PC to see if I can add an FPV cam to the 12v fan on the back... get back to you soon.......

That and the Lily drone appear destined for chapter 11. At the consumer end the Chinese own the market and western companies aren't even in the game. OTH, DJI is still utterly clueless when it comes to pro stuff.

The footage from hover camera is not too good as per youtube demos of it... I think the only other drone nicer or similar to the hover and more likely better and with more features that are a little close to the mavic would be the snap drone by vantage robotics. But then at the price why not just get the Mavic !! . .. Its like comparing a civic to a porche.. when u are comparing the hover camera to the mavic..

Well, I’ve used Hover Camera and it’s pretty decent product for a drone beginner like myself. The photo and video quality is good, and it’s really easy to control in the air. Currently the company is offering a discount for CES. If you enter the promo code “HOVERVIP@CES” on their website when checking out you can get $50 off. Link is www.gethover.com.

Honestly, if you are thinking about people crowd photos, flying objects is just not the right answer. I suggest you look into a mast. I have seen some poles as long as 6 meters, intended to be hand-held with an Osmo-like stabilizer on the end of it.

I'm thinking I may get a pole for my Osmo, seen a few bits of footage that looks awesome. especially with the carbon fibre light weight ones..

So Casey's video, the hover camera a little bit loud than Morgon's posted. Give it a time. The idea is good and the design is sleek and simple. They might upgrade it to more better model

For $600 I'd just get me a nice Phantom 3 on sale
