TechDoes giving a camera wings dodge the FCC’s drone ban?

HoverAir is trying to classify its $750 Versa as a mini steadycam with optional snap-on propellers rather than a drone, potentially avoiding the FCC’s ban on future foreign drones. The FCC approved the camera portion on August 9, but could reconsider and revoke the certification if it treats the camera as a critical UAS component.
