Drones have been a must-have photography tool for years. And with every new iteration, they’re about to be more popular. Zero Zero Robotics<\/a>, creators of the successful Hover Camera Passport drone<\/a>, has started a Kickstarter page<\/a> to fund arguably the smartest drone to date: the Hover 2 selfie drone. Thanks to an incredible mix of camera quality and Artificial Intelligence technology, creatives with the Hover 2 selfie drone can capture all the cinematic shots imagined.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What is the Hover 2 Selfie Drone?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The Hover 2 rocks a 4K camera with 12 megapixel quality. The camera is supported by a mechanical gimbal that keeps rotating and makes motion shots stunningly smooth. With a range of 5 kilometers (that’s 3.1 miles), the app-controlled drone can shoot crisp long range shots in a 360-degree range.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The prominent feature users are most jazzed about is the Optical Radar. This is the AI technology that allows the drone to follow and focus on subjects while being aware of its surroundings and dodging anything in a 360-degree range. But, there are also incredible shooting modes that give each shot a professional feel. For example, \u201cAutoFrame\u201d will frame subjects waist-up, full-body, backdrop, or birds-eye. \u201cOmni-Follow\u201d can track the subject from any angle \u2014 front, side, or behind. And \u201cTrackshots\u201d are the standard \u201cpan out and rotate while keeping focus on the subject\u201d shot, made simple.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Lastly, the mobile app allows users to add filters and themes to their footage before instantly sharing to social media networks. If you weren\u2019t a selfie drone type-of-person before, you might be now.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Hover 2 has already crushed the Kickstarter goal of $100,000. The Cupertino-based tech start-up already has more than $500,000 pledged and there are 43 days remaining. So don\u2019t be shy, pledge the $399 to get your own Hover 2 before they hit the market with a $699 retail price.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
