Drones are meant to cater to an active lifestyle, but the achilles heel of most drones are that they can be cumbersome to carry around. With more and more features packed into drones these days, the race is on to make them as compact and convenient to carry as possible with new entries from DJI and GoPro leading the way. However, when it comes to maximum portability and ease of use, the Hover Camera Passport offers something unique and in a league of its own.
The Hover Camera Passport is designed like a book, hence the name, with the spine housing all of the main electronics, while the enclosed propellers swing out from the spine like pages. This unique form factor makes the Passport incredibly easy to carry and deploy — all you have to do is carry it in your bag like a book, unfold, and deploy in mid air to start shooting. The 4K video capable drone is also incredibly lightweight, at under 0.52 lbs, so there’s no FAA registration requirement. The real standout feature, though, is the face and body tracking, allowing the Passport to act like a camera crew following you around, freeing your hands from controlling your drone and letting you focus on the adventure ahead.
