Hover Air X1 The Good, The Bad, & The Ugly 

Like the below statement. Great review that was an honest user. Thank you for that.

First good review that did not seem like an ad! Thanks dude! I'm 50/50 to pick up one for B roll stuff for my channel

A detailed and honest review, telling it how it is. The danger with some of the over hyped reviews is that expectations will be raised too high. I see the Hover X1 as an additional tool when video making - much like we may choose a different camera for a certain situation. If the limitations are understood - which you’ve explained well, the benefits will speak for themselves. The big misunderstanding is that this will replace a traditional drone. It’s a bit like saying an electric screwdriver will do everything an electric drill will do. They look similar and there’s some overlap, but nowhere near the same. And in fairness to Hover, they don’t make that claim anyway. Where this does make a huge difference is the simple setup for quick ‘follow me’ shots where carrying the controller of a traditional drone safely on a bicycle can be problematic. Thanks for taking the time to make this clear.

The price is what kept me away but finally bought one during their Black Friday sale. Just as you said, it's a good little drone for what it is intended to do. I have other drones that I use for more cinematic stuff but none of those are as easy to get up into the air and back. Just took it with me for the first time on a motorcycle trip and there will be many more to come. Thanks for the detailed review.

Ive just bought one and im looking forward to using it on Christmas day.👍🤠

Good video Thanks.

Great video

Thanks for showing how to take the battery off. I bought 2 extra batteries (combo plus) but couldn't figure out and it wasn't in the directions.

Good video cool little guy.

Thanks for the great review! The battery life is a deal-breaker for me. Doesn't seem worth it just for short video clips. IMO.

can it be flown over water via manual mode without any trouble? I understand it doesn’t like water and can’t determine if you just got lucky getting it back to you on the water shot or if it can do it in manual mode. Thanks.

Intriguing! What keeps it following you (and your family) instead of someone else walking by?

hello, nice review, thank you. Is it noisier than say a dji mini drone?

Nice review. If it loses you. What does it do? Land, fly off wildly looking for you or what?

Can the video and photos be downloaded to a PC? Thanks, Sam

are most of the clips in the video 1080p 60 or 2.7k 30 ?

The question is, how would this behave in an envorimeont with many difffernt people ?

Glad I saw this review, I'll stick with DJI for the time being. Thank you , good honest review 👍

For RU-vid 1080p is already an overkill.

Oh how painful of watching every minute to see if captain amazing here gives the key details or not - your really really really close, but missed a big detail. Allow me to apologize for my insolence. You mention (2k) resolution in landscape mode and 1080p30 in portrait mode. Basically this toy is a new spinoff of DJI's Tello drone - a very excellent drone that probably doesn't require a Pilot's Certificate (not license) to fly in open areas. BUT THE BIG QUESTION IS: Does the HoverAir X1 have a slot for a memory card so that the camera can take pictures or record video while flying? I look forward to your update. Good resolution in the video.

too loud plus the dog walkers will freak out and the karens will try and stop it...the biggest dealbreaker is the price

Too pricey.😡
