HOVERAir X1 AQUA Basic Combo

HOVERAir X1 AQUA Basic Combo Summary

The HOVERAir X1 AQUA Basic Combo combines the waterproof floating AQUA self-flying drone with additional charging accessories for longer filming sessions around water. Built specifically for water sports and coastal environments, AQUA supports direct take-off and landing on water while removing many of the operational limitations associated with traditional drones in wet and exposed conditions.

Its IP67-rated corrosion-resistant body supports operation around waves, rain and saltwater, while AI-powered tracking and more than 10 automated flight modes simplify hands-free filming without requiring traditional controller-based piloting. A 1/1.28-inch CMOS sensor records 4K video at up to 100fps alongside HDR recording up to 4K 60fps, while SmoothCapture 3.0 combines a one-axis gimbal, electronic stabilisation and horizon levelling for steadier footage during movement on water. Compared with the Standard version, the Basic Combo adds an extra Smart Battery and Charging Hub for reduced downtime and longer outdoor shooting sessions.

HOVERAir X1 AQUA Basic Combo In More Detail

Waterproof Floating Design

AQUA uses an IP67-rated waterproof body with corrosion-resistant construction for operation around water, rain and marine environments. The floating design allows direct take-off and landing on water surfaces without requiring separate launch platforms or shoreline access.

Water Sports Flight Modes

Dedicated modes for kayaking, paddleboarding and surfing adjust automated flight behaviour for smoother subject tracking during water-based movement. Additional modes including Follow, Orbit, Dolly Track and Bird’s Eye automate aerial movements without requiring manual piloting.

AI Subject Tracking

Advanced AI tracking automatically locks onto subjects and maintains framing during movement without requiring constant controller input. The system focuses on simplified automated filming for users who want to remain active within the scene rather than manually flying the drone.

4K Video Recording

The 1/1.28-inch CMOS sensor records 4K video at up to 100fps alongside HDR recording up to 4K 60fps. Vertical video recording is also supported for portrait-oriented social media content and mobile editing workflows.

SmoothCapture 3.0 Stabilisation

SmoothCapture 3.0 combines a one-axis gimbal with electronic image stabilisation and horizon levelling, helping reduce visible shake and horizon drift during filming on moving water and in windier outdoor conditions.

Lighthouse Tracking

The included Lighthouse wearable supports centimetre-level positioning accuracy through RTK connectivity while adding return-to-home controls and recording management. This improves subject tracking stability when movement speed and environmental conditions become less predictable.

Wind And Flight Performance

AQUA supports top speeds up to 55 km/h alongside Level 7 wind resistance for more stable flight during faster water sports, exposed coastal conditions and open shoreline environments.

Basic Combo Accessories

The Basic Combo includes an additional Smart Battery and Charging Hub for longer filming sessions, reduced charging downtime and repeated flights throughout the day.
