While it lacks the range, speed, and maneuverability of say, a DJI drone, the Hover Camera is a stupid simple way to capture aerial photos and footage, and you can take to the skies for just $350 today on Amazon.
Unlike most drones, Hover Camera’s propellors are encased in a carbon fiber cage, so they’re unlikely to cause damage (or get damaged themselves) if you crash. Plus, the whole thing folds up to the size of a small book, so you really can take it with you anywhere.
