HoverAir Versa review: A 2-in-1 camera-drone with notable compromises

The HoverAir Versa is a new 2-in-1 device that functions as both a handheld gimbal camera and a mini drone. While it offers a unique combination of features, it faces compromises in both modes and potential availability issues in the US due to FCC regulations. The camera boasts a 4K/60fps resolution and a 1/1.3-inch sensor, with a 3-axis gimbal, but its screen is smaller than competitors like DJI and Insta360. In drone mode, it lacks obstacle avoidance and its tracking capabilities are limited when the subject is in front of the device. AI
