The Hover is a flying drone selfie camera built especially for millennials to capture the ideal angled shot without the need for a physical person to be there to take it. The camera is a compact flying drone with a sleek rectangular shape that can zoom up to a customized height to snap the perfect picture.

Unlike video-specific drone, the Hover is flat and thin with a shape that replicates that of a book. The device has two panels with integrated propellers that allow the tiny and lightweight machine to hover. Consumers can adjust the height of the camera to capture touch-free selfies. The Hover is designed for close range photography, so unlike many drones it can't fly great distances making it ideal for selfies.
