Back to feedDoes giving a camera wings dodge the FCC’s drone ban?
EDITOR BRIEF
HoverAir owner Zero Zero Robotics is positioning the new $750 Versa as a mini steadycam-style camera rather than a drone, with optional snap-on propellers that enable flight. The move follows US restrictions that blocked future foreign drones, including HoverAir’s Aqua model, from entering the market.
INSIGHTS
The Versa highlights how hardware makers may try to navigate drone restrictions by blurring product categories. If regulators reject the distinction, it could tighten enforcement around modular drones and make design-based loopholes harder to exploit.
