Chinese drone manufacturer HOVERAir has just introduced their latest drone: the AQUA. This AI-powered drone is self-flying, which means it doesn’t require a remote or piloting, and it is 100% waterproof, which means it can follow you and grab shots while you are kayaking, surfing, sailing, or doing any water-related activities that are usually risky for camera gear.

What makes the AQUA unique is that it is IP-67 waterproof rated and that, like a seaplane aircraft, it features a continuous float at the bottom, which means it has buoyancy capabilities.
