Fully waterproof body
Millimeter-wave radar
Precisely detects wave height and surface conditions for safer takeoff, landing, and low altitude flight over water. Deployed for the first time ever in a consumer drone.
Waterproof components
Constructed to be waterproof, down to the smallest detail.
Advanced lens design for water-perfect imagery
AQUA’s lens is built for water. Its hydrophobic coating repels droplets instantly, so splashes won’t ruin your shots. It has self-heating anti-fog capabilities even in humid environments. And with its multi-layer optical design, AQUA corrects distortion, cuts glare, and delivers sharper, more color-accurate images from edge to edge.
Launch directly from water
Thanks to its neutrally buoyant design, AQUA floats on water. You can take off directly and land the same way on the surface of water.
Go ahead, toss your worries away
Turtle Flip is one of AQUA’s coolest features. Whether you toss it in upside down or it gets tumbled by a wave, AQUA flips itself over automatically before takeoff.
Meet Lighthouse
The Lighthouse is AQUA’s companion and guide. It allows you to have a fully hands-free experience while on the water controlling take off, landing, and shooting.
AQUA knows right where you are thanks to this small, wearable device. Lighthouse acts like an invisible cord, keeping you connected to your camera at all times.
Precision tracking
AQUA’s precision tracking system combines RTK (Real-Time Kinematics) and CV (Computer Vision) to deliver responsive and reliable tracking.
HOVERAir has spent more than a decade perfecting action tracking, and now that industry-leading mastery comes to water.
Delivering an unbreakable bond
VirtualTether is a real-time location-sharing link between AQUA and the Lighthouse. The two devices are constantly aware of each other’s position, ensuring they stay connected.
If the distance ever exceeds a preset limit, AQUA will fly back within range automatically. That means you can stay fully immersed in your activity without worrying that AQUA will drift away.
1.6” built-in AMOLED display
Control everything right from water – change camera settings, get a live preview, and review shots with a built-in display.
Under 250g, no registration required
AQUA weighs 249g, meaning no registration is needed in most countries, and is C0 certified in the EU. Fly it anywhere.
55 km/h top speed
For immersive chase scenes and high-speed water sports.
Level 7 wind resistance
Handles serious weather and wind up to 33 knots.
SmoothCapture 3.0
With upgraded algorithms and next-gen stabilization, SmoothCapture 3.0 keeps your footage rock steady, even in rough seas.
128GB built-in storage
Plenty of room for your footage, no need for external cards.
Ready for the elements
From crashing waves to heavy rain, AQUA is built to fly in conditions you never thought possible.
23-min flight time
Enjoy up to 23 minutes of flight with our smart battery system, designed for longer, safer, and more reliable flights.
Flagship 1/1.28” CMOS
Our flagship-level 1/1.28” CMOS sensor captures more light, more detail and richer colors—even in fast-moving water scenes.
Superior image quality
AQUA delivers professional-grade image quality, designed for the challenges of water.
With 4K100fps slow motion, it turns splashes and jumps into cinematic highlights.
HDR video keeps every shot true-to-life by balancing dazzling reflections with rich shadows.
And with 10-bit H-Log, you’ll have the depth and flexibility to color grade like a pro.
15+ amazing flight modes
AQUA comes with the HOVERAir flight modes you know and love. Classic modes like Zoom Out, Orbit, Spiral and Bird’s Eye. Get up close and personal with Side Track, set up a chase scene with Follow, or choose Dolly Track for an immersive front angle view.
Have fun even when it’s not flying
In Snorkeling Mode, the gimbal points downward while AQUA floats on the surface of the water to capture the scene below. Or choose Mount Mode to mount AQUA to your surfboard, kiteboard or SUP to capture a killer POV. You can even hold AQUA to capture some quick handheld shots.
Take control from land or water
Switch into manual mode with Beacon & Joysticks, and control every aspect of your flight path and cinematography.
You can launch AQUA from land or a boat just as easily. Use it to capture your beach-side memories.
