Drones aren’t just flying toys anymore. In recent months, we’ve seen handfuls of drone makers pivot toward producing specialized models catering to more specific customer needs. For the person who loves selfies and wants to document their world travels without getting bogged down in the mechanics of drone flying, the Hover Camera Passport is a forward-thinking marvel.
Right now, you can save $150 on this super-cool item, marked down to just $349.99 from TNW Deals.
The Passport’s carbon fiber body is incredibly lightweight and portable (about a half-pound and the size of a VHS tape) and easily folds up for transport. When you’re ready to use it, just power it up and let it float out of your hand.
With its facial recognition capabilities and other features, the Passport will fly on its own and automatically lock on to you, snapping images or capturing 4K video whether you’re hiking, biking, strolling along the beach, anywhere you go.
