Looking to up your social media game with eye-catching shots of your two-wheeled exploits, but can’t afford to have a professional photographer or videographer follow you around wherever you go? Enter the HoverAir X1—a lightweight, self-flying drone designed by the creative minds at Zero Zero Robotics.
Established in 2014 by Stanford Ph.D.s MQ Wang and Tony Zhang, Zero Zero Robotics specializes in embedding AI technology in intelligent devices. Recognizing the need for user-friendly drones that cater to everyday enthusiasts rather than just seasoned photographers, they embarked on a mission to make aerial photography more accessible. Their ideas struck a chord with content creators all over; the HoverAir X1's IndieGoGo campaign, launched in March 2023, quickly gained traction, attracting support from 5,325 backers and raising an impressive $1,808,294 USD. Just a few months later, in August of the same year, the drone became available for purchase through direct sales and Amazon distribution channels.
