Overview
- Public FCC records show the Versa’s camera unit received equipment approval, and HoverAir has begun selling the device and bundles through an Indiegogo campaign.
- HoverAir says the design separates functions so the Flight Kit that adds propellers contains no radio transmitters and thus was not submitted for FCC certification.
- The Flight Kit connects to the camera by magnetic mounts and pogo pins for power and data, a setup HoverAir says avoids adding an RF ID to the accessory.
- Reporters and regulators note the camera itself contains radios and the FCC treats some cameras as ‘UAS critical components,’ so the agency or its private certifiers could rescind the approval on short statutory review windows.
- The move comes after a December 2025 U.S. ban on many foreign-made drones and relies on the FCC’s delegation to private TCBs, which raises legal and market risk for backers and U.S. buyers if authorities reclassify the device.
