I tested the world's first waterproof self-flying drone on my paddleboard — here's the verdict

The HoverAir Aqua is a genuine first, and for solo watersports enthusiasts that novelty has real value. It's not without notable flaws: Lighthouse-based tracking produces inconsistent framing, connection instability dogged my test flights, and a water droplet on the lens cost me some of my best footage. But as a specialist tool for the surfer, paddleboarder or kayaker who wants hands-free aerial footage of themselves, it currently has no competition whatsoever. If that's you, the Aqua is certainly worth a closer look.

Pros

+The only waterproof self-flying camera on the market
+Solid 4K footage in good conditions
+Turtle flip and water-surface takeoff/landing work reliably

Cons

-Lighthouse-based tracking produces inconsistent subject framing
-Hydrophobic lens doesn't always resist water
-Expensive in comparison to competitors

The portal is the product: inside the operating model rewriting digital agencies

Most digital agencies hit a wall somewhere between their fiftieth and hundredth active client. Sales is fine; the pitch deck still works, the services still convert.
