Lead story
HoverAir Versa Wants to Replace Your Gimbal and Your Drone — ZeroZero Robotics has introduced the HoverAir Versa, a 230-gram modular unit that operates as a standalone 3-axis gimbal camera and converts into an autonomous AI-tracking drone by attaching a Flight Kit accessory. The design deliberately targets the FAA's 250-gram registration threshold, and the device has received FCC certification ahead of its August 18 Indiegogo crowdfunding launch. The modular approach is technically notable: collapsing two distinct product categories into one certified, pocket-portable form factor reduces the payload and regulatory overhead operators typically carry across both use cases.
