HoverAir's Versa, a device that functions as a steadycam camera but transforms into a drone through detachable propeller wings, has been halted in the United States following rapid regulatory action. The product received FCC approval on August 9th as a camera component but launched on Indiegogo three days later. Within 72 hours, the FCC removed the authorization from its database, and HoverAir stopped accepting US orders, now claiming "logistics updates" whilst only offering to ship the camera portion domestically.

The enforcement represents a closing of what appeared to be a regulatory loophole. Zero Zero Robotics, the Chinese manufacturer, submitted the device for approval as a camera—a category where the company isn't on the FCC's Covered List—rather than as a drone, where all manufacturers are automatically regulated. The FCC's action suggests regulators recognised the circumvention attempt, and the product cannot be legally imported or sold in the United States in either form. Early backers face potential loss of their orders and may require refunds, with the company's history of delayed transparency on prior failed products raising concerns about whether it will handle this situation differently.
