We review the Hover Camera Passport, a lightweight foldable quadcopter that uses computer vision technology to track your face and body as it flies around you. We love its sturdy compact design and ease of use, and take the drone out for test flights around the city. Here’s what we think of the resulting footage.

I wanna have one of those camera but, wait can I have 80% discount from original price? super expensive for me, wait for Chinese factory made more cheeper
Waiting for a better quality. Then I’ll shut up, and just let you take my money. It’s a great concept. Need a lot of improvement however.
I wonder what type of tracking algorithms the drone is actually using. If it’s using background subtraction (very bad) or Viola-Jones it would explain tracking being worse in poor lighting as compared to hog classification. The drone doesn’t sport a GPU so it can’t use a CNN.
Great idea but not worth the $$$. Not enough flight time and video quality is poor. A flying camera that doesn’t fly well or take good video.
That design is fucking genius. When I saw the commercial I wanted to buy one imediatly. But this quality is just too bad. And is battery life supposed to be this bad on drones?
great honest review. thanks!
Unfortunately another Waste of Time and Money. For $400 more, the DJI MAVIC PRO blows this piece of crap away.
Great Review – Well presented and detailed.
12 seconds to boot up to long? What the hell is wrong with people?
piece of shit
Pretty crap price point for the actual quality of the Video. Now if it were 300ish I’d say that was legit.
so it is controlled through wifi does that mean you can also just set up a hotspot on your mobile
good thing about this drone is that you can also use it as a laptop cooler
nice work bro i like the review more than the hover camera
what about using it for pictures?
The dynamic range in the footage looks really poor. Looks like a case of “muh megapixels” where they wanted to have 4K so they could say it was 4K instead of speccing a sensor that was good all around.
550$? a BIG bullshit!!!
How does it react when signal is lost? Lets say you are 15 meters in the air and signal is lost. Does is start to come down to land? Does it stay there until battery dies and then fall to the ground?
600$ for a 8-10 minutes flying camera!?? what a rip-off!!!
but at the end of the day it was fun right
nice review…….but for 7-8 mins of flight, definitely a waste of money…..
8mins..thats wack
For $600, I’d rather just pay a random from Craigslist to come out on a bunch of hikes to hold my phone for me.
8-10 minutes? Needs to 15-20 at least …
Good review. I had high hopes for this one. Oh well, maybe next version.
Hiii there! What camera, lens and FPS are you recording on? i love the quality.
this thing is $500+? even with a cellphone quality cam? I can buy something else for that rpice
Nice review…thanks!
my wife is probably going to leave me but I’m really want this
Nobody can make me believe that records are 4K video quality.. Image stabilizer are look too weak. But that could be better in the future.. For now.. Nope !
4:25 No, you’re wrong. All quadcopters will have a gyroscope and accelerometer (the sensors that an IMU uses). There is no way for the quad to fly without those two sensors.
I can’t stop focusing on how hairy that guy’s arms are.
Totally not worth almost $600. 10 minutes of video footage? What type of shit is that
Great review. Great concept and design but looks like it doesn’t live up to some of it’s claims. The camera needs a gimble for stabilization and better quality video processing and the tracking is wonky. Not worth the $550 to $600 asking price.
sooooooo dissapointed :(!!! thank God I saw this review, seconds before ordering it! thank you!
