HoverAir Versa Drone Hit by FCC Certification Error

The HoverAir Versa drone, recently launched on Indiegogo, has encountered a major hurdle as its FCC certification has been revoked. Initially marketed with FCC approval, implying market access to the United States, the Federal Communications Commission has clarified that this certification was granted erroneously. The FCC has now set aside this certification and removed it from their public database, prohibiting any sales or marketing of the Versa in the US.

This situation places HoverAir in a similar position to DJI, which has faced US market restrictions. The FCC is reportedly considering further action against HoverAir for allegedly violating rules regarding prohibited components from foreign countries. The Versa, which can function as both a 4K drone and a pocket gimbal camera, was slated for worldwide launch with October 2026 delivery to backers. However, its US availability appears unlikely in the near future despite the listed $499 starting price on its crowdfunding page.
