ZERO ZERO ROBOTICS, a leading company in the field of drones and AI flying cameras, will launch the "HOVERAir AQUA", a 100% waterproof AI flying camera developed for water activities, in Japan on Thursday, May 28, 2026. Prior to this, pre-order sales will begin on Tuesday, April 14, 2026. Pre-order sales will be limited to the official website, Tsutaya Electrics Futakotamagawa, Bic Camera, and Yodobashi Camera.
Also, starting from Tuesday, April 14, 2026, the product will be exhibited at "Tsutaya Electrics+" in Tsutaya Electrics Futakotamagawa, where visitors can see the actual device.
Those who purchase HOVERAir AQUA during the pre-order period will receive one exclusive smart battery and one waterproof storage bag as a bonus (total value equivalent to 35,960 yen).
HOVERAir AQUA is the first self-flying camera from HOVERAir designed specifically for use on water. With no controller required and hands-free operation, the AI automatically tracks the user, making it easy to shoot smooth third-person view videos of the user's movements. It is suitable for various water activities such as stand-up paddleboarding, kayaking, wakeboarding, jet skiing, fishing, and boating.
In Japan, about two years have passed since the launch of the ultra-lightweight 99g AI flying camera "HOVERAir X1 Smart", and the new experience of "controller-free, hands-free shooting" in daily photography and outdoor scenes has been supported by many users. In the Japanese market, HOVERAir has been working to popularize personal flying cameras that anyone can use with peace of mind while considering legal regulations and usage scenarios.
The newly announced HOVERAir AQUA is positioned as an extension of such product development and user experience in Japan. While inheriting core technologies such as AI auto-tracking and stable flight control cultivated in the 99g X1 Smart and X1 PRO/PROMAX, it expands HOVERAir's shooting field from land to water.
On the other hand, in order to achieve stable flight performance and waterproofness on water, the AQUA's body weight exceeds 100g, making it a product positioned differently from the ultra-lightweight models in Japan. However, the values demanded by the Japanese market, such as "intuitive use", "hands-free shooting", and "safe and stable flight experience", were also emphasized in the development of AQUA.
In Japan, in addition to the need for lightweight, compact, and easy-to-handle products, interest in new shooting experiences in the outdoors and water sports is also growing. Anticipating such expectations from Japanese users, AQUA was developed as an AI flying camera that allows hands-free and intuitive shooting even on water.
AQUA features faster flight performance, longer flight times, real-time video transmission, IP67-compliant waterproof performance, and a neutral buoyancy design. It automatically tracks over water, enabling smooth and dynamic video expression.
Equipped with a 1/1.28-inch CMOS sensor supporting 4K/100fps slow-motion shooting, it features over 15 automatic flight modes and level 7 wind resistance (up to 33 knots). The maximum flight time is 23 minutes, and the maximum tracking speed reaches 55 km/h.
In addition, the new accessory "Lighthouse" allows users to perform operations such as takeoff, landing, recording, mode switching, and remote recall simply by wearing it on their arm.
HOVERAir AQUA is a next-generation personal AI flying camera developed with use on or near water in mind.
