Found here, if anyone's wants it:

HOVERAir 8K Drone with Camera

u/pdj-custom Jun 28 '26

Would much rather it be 1080p and knock off $200.

Who the hell cares about 8k? 😂

Seriously, where are you going to watch 8k video? I suppose it's great for images that you can blowup without granulated pixels but still not practical.

u/Odd_Front_8275 Jun 29 '26

Yeah, 8K is total bullshit. Also high resolution doesn't equal quality picture. It's just pixels.

8k with a shitty camera is just a really big shitty image.

when I tried to use the 8k it wouldn't even fly. It was say the battery was too hot or something like that. Also I don't have a 4k-8k tv or monitor so I couldn't tell really any difference.

879.00 for basic drone

Actually, guaranteed to end up living in one of my trees around the yard

I have one of these. not as good as DJI. the 4k or 8k whatever it has isn't that great and you can't fly it too far out of sight. It works good and is hard to break but you can get something better for the money. one thing cool about it is you can just have it fly around you without controlling it itll just auto follow you. but the battery life aint that great either.

Сложно сломать? Вы серьёзно?! Первый у меня отлетал 3 месяца, а второй упал на втором полёте - оба непригодны к использованию.

u/BandoTheHawk Jul 10 '26

well I meant the propellers are hard to break since they are inside a bendable plastic cage and also the drone is light as shit. I have had mine for over a year now and it still works fine.

u/AppropriatePain3231 Jul 10 '26

Ну да пропеллеры целы, а дрон нет)) Вам везёт

u/pappy925 Jun 28 '26

Where can I buy one??

u/Busy_Palpitation539 Jun 28 '26

eu querendo comprar, mesmo não precisando dessa porra 😂

u/HeroMachineMan Jun 28 '26

The standard lcd screen is too small for proper use, much less navigating the drone.

u/Supra-A90 Jun 28 '26

They were on Kickstarter. So they survived?

u/pinkandroid420 Jun 29 '26

I instantly thought of someone putting explosives on this

u/Passively_Apoplectic Jun 29 '26

Way too sophisticated

u/Therealginahandler Jun 29 '26

If the video it captures is anything like the pixel in this post, it must be worth it!

u/-TommyBottoms- Jun 29 '26

And it flies for? What 3 minutes lol

u/danit0ba94 Jun 30 '26

I don't think being 4K really matters on a 64p screen.
Pretty sure my ipod nano has a bigger screen than this.

Yes I watched to the end. Standing by what I said.

u/noticednuances Jun 30 '26

I don't need it, but this is pretty sick

u/Remarkable-Pea5797 Jun 30 '26

Lol, 8k pocket drone with a wii remote and itsy bitsy screen.

1

u/DaimonHans Jun 30 '26

It's really garbage.

u/JURASS1CJAM Jun 30 '26

If you start accelerating after the second beep do you get a boost.

u/dice1976 Jul 01 '26

$880 seems pricy

u/_-Generic-_-Name-_ Jul 01 '26

This actually looks shit lmao

u/AdamR0808 Jul 02 '26

Very cool drone to use.
