HoverAir's attempt to sell its new modular drone in the United States has hit a major regulatory roadblock just days after launching. The HoverAir Versa, a handheld camera that attaches to propeller wings to become a drone, stopped accepting US orders for its flight components on Indiegogo only three days into its campaign. The company, owned by Chinese firm Zero Zero Robotics, informed project backers that it will only ship the standalone camera unit to American addresses. HoverAir cited "a few remaining logistics updates" as the reason for halting the Flight Kit portion of the device. However, regulatory records point toward a direct intervention by the US federal government rather than a simple shipping delay. The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) appears to have revoked the device's authorization. The HoverAir Versa is no longer listed in the FCC database, indicating its previous grant has been pulled. While the device initially received FCC approval on August 9, that authorization was strictly for a standalone camera and did not cover its operation as a drone. Zero Zero Robotics argued to the FCC's agent that the camera should avoid restrictions because the company is not on the agency's Covered List for camera equipment. While accurate, the FCC maintains strict rules automatically placing all companies on the covered list for drones and critical drone components. Under these regulations, the agency explicitly categorizes cameras as critical drone parts. The regulatory action threatens the entire product line in the US market. If the FCC permanently rejects the camera's authorization, HoverAir cannot legally import, market, or sell either the Flight Kit accessory or the base camera unit in the United States. US visitors to the Indiegogo campaign can no longer select the Flight Kit, though the page still advertises the hardware. Buyers using Canadian internet addresses via VPN can still see the full drone bundles available for purchase. Meanwhile, some American backers who managed to order early are now seeing system messages indicating the company cannot ship to their addresses. HoverAir has not responded to media inquiries regarding the situation, and an FCC spokesperson declined to comment on the record. The current silence mirrors a previous incident from last December, when the company failed to secure certification for its waterproof HoverAir Aqua drone. During that episode, the company spent months assuring backers that shipments were imminent before acknowledging the regulatory failure. This history has raised immediate questions about how quickly buyers of the Versa will receive refunds. Backers in the United States who pre-ordered the hardware, including those in the Somali diaspora, will not receive the flight components and must now monitor their accounts for refunds. Anyone in East Africa who typically imports electronics using US-based forwarding services will need to route future purchases of the Versa through Canadian or other international markets where the drone remains approved for sale.
