Hover X1 Pocket-Sized Self-Flying Camera Review 

Why do people still buy in this 9s shit. What you mean is 400, 250 and 300…

Way overpriced, Just checked on prices for us here in Ireland €488 (US$531) not worth it... The quoted 2.7k video is mediocre as a result of a very poor lens, along with other deficiencies @@Phillsen

@@Phillsen I agree 100% with you. But then again I'm the kind of guy that purposefully purchases non-branded clothes, because I don't want to give the free service of advertisement to any company.

@@TheAnimeist Yeah, what is up with that, one has to pay for a t-shirt with the marketing of the company on it? They should give the t-shirt away for free in that case. The label should be hidden or tiny if they insist.

Has he heard of runaway inflation? Its not a myth. $399 is your sweet spot silly, 2 years ago we called that $299. Wake up?

Thanks for sharing

I swear I saw it before too lol. I think he reposted it.

Thank God! Thought I was losing my mind! Lol

Awesome. I’ve actually been using it quite a bit the last couple of weeks. For my blogging great to get quick shots

Thank you very much

Glad it helped

I appreciate that!

Thank you so much!!

Glad it was helpful!

It's shipping now to the UK, US, and Germany.

I had mine delivered last week in the UK.

Thank you Amazon designed this drone because why not? They are worth $1.3 trillion & can afford it & hold the patents designing similar. It seems Amazon has gone from retail into hanging out with Seattles other 2 famous players… microsoft & boeing. So who put the first paying customer into space & stole the contract right under SpaceX to build the final lander to put Americans back on the moon. Jeff Bezos, not Amazon, he only built Amazon, today he is throwing his money at becoming the first to mine the moon. Forbes predicts he will be Americas first TRILLIONAIRE. He will reach that goal from you Seattle & he owns 100% Blue Origin and all the wealth on the Moon. He can buy an atmosphere if he needs one. And someone will build him one. Trust me.

Glad it was helpful!

Glad you liked it!

Always welcome

Thanks! 👍

That would be cool!

Wow, that's so amazing to hear! So glad you're enjoying it and yes, more features coming! Thanks for the feedback about the gimbal.

Thanks!

I feel the same way. Especially since algorithm and AI are not the same thing in computer science. It's a buzz word that's being constantly misused for marketing reasons.

Same as the word drone

Well thats the beauty of the English language. It may have come from a small country called England where it evolved from the only acceptable language from Roman conquers of that time & quickly became intermixed by local indigenous tribal languages spoke by those who moved in when Romans moved out. As England grew to represent an organized nation under rule by one most powerful King his subjects learned to speak & write the “Kings English” & wrote Dictionaries to define every one acceptable definition of the Kings words as he knew them to be & you couldn’t change that definition without his approval. But as his small nation grew so did his language creating new words & multiple definitions that no single person could take control of, but he tried which is why they still teach the Kings English today (or the “Queens English” depending on who has the right to the throne) so their is still a proper way to speak English & unfortunately Americans have decided to massacre that language because they had no language of their own & felt they deserved it along with their self proclaimed right to so-called “independence” & lets start right there with changing definition of a word, as well as “liberty” & “freedom” i don’t think you can find 3 better words whose definition do not apply to what Americans received. Another fine example is the word “democracy” which America calls itself when its own legal definition contradicted what their founders actually created… a “republic” even stealing his majesty’s “pledge of allegiance” which calls itself “and under the REPUBLIC for which it stands, one nation, individual, with liberty”… etc etc etc 😳 BUT WAIT, Americans massacred that pledge as well, many times, most recently in 1956 when your leaders, members in Congress acting as a republic acts, added the words “under God” to the pledge under ownership of her majesty QE2, which was never bought by America, never sold to America, but was stolen by Americans & then passed off for their Republic to massacre into a pledge of their own liking without any compensation to the nation whose people it was written for. And its not like your people had any choice, your Congress has all the choices because that defines the word Republic which is not a democracy. In a “real” democracy the people have ability to force legal changes a government has forced upon its people. What legal authority does any American have to stop your Congress from doing whatever it pleases? ANSWER: your Supreme Court, which is restricted to its Constitution. And who has the authority to change the Constitution? The people? Hell no! Congress is the only authority to change your constitution, and do so if they please to do so. The people have no authority or ability to make any changes which is why America can not be a democracy yet to this day your Congress is actively trying to change the very definition of that word by calling itself a democracy while forcing their school children to take a pledge stolen from the Kings who literally built the very foundation of your nation (thanks to slavery) and confusing those poor children by forcing them to recite the pledge you are a republic while that old nearly dead President of yours lies to the same children saying your nation is a democracy? And as always the ignorant fall well in line & American dictionaries redefine the meaning of the word “Republic” calling it a “nation with democracy principles” OH REALLY?! Like the Peoples Republic of China? Or the former Union of Soviet Socialist Republics? Like those two well known Republics? How much of democracy principles do they have? Is organ harvesting from prisoners on death row sent to death fir speaking out about their government a principle of democracy as your dictionaries are now defining the word Republic as? A republic is a nation which has full authority to make itself a totalitarian regime that the people CAN’T PREVENT. So right now you mention 2 words which apparently are filled with too many letters for your fat fingers to type out so you massacred them into “AI” because it should be “algorithm”. I’m confused. Algorithm has more letters than its competitor does. Maybe fat fingers prefer AI over that other word because those fingers are fat AND lazy & prefer the less letters fat fingers have to needlessly type out. In the war of language it doesn’t take a rocket scientist to figure out who or which word is going to win here. The smaller shorter lazy word ALWAYS WINS because that is how America -a nation built as a Republic, for future Republicans, & are engaged in a bitter civil war since at least 1980 when Ronald Reagan declared war on what little democracy your nation has remaining… the Democratic party😢- this is why people feel they have authority & freedom to use our language & change the meaning of words by simply using it in the opposite context. Reagan started it by redefining the word “Liberal” into meaning an offensive 4 letter word despite the word containing 7 letters. Not only was he your worse President, he couldn’t count either! But his strategy worked he did turn a 7 letter word to one which is defined as “f--en sh-t” today. When the legal definition of Liberal is “a innovative progressive thinker who uses changes to solve old or new problems” See? I had to add a letter “s” at the end of change otherwise people think I’m talking about money. Ever think about that? Probably not. Apparently your skinny fingers & i are on equal sides of MY (not yours) English language. We have more important things to use our nuclear cannons over. Each other would be illogical. But discussion which words should have such meanings of a language your country stole simply because the French scared you & the Spanish were too dark when you had hundreds of indigenous languages but decided to massacre them like you have done to my language for the past 247 YEARS (OMG you’re almost 250, fuck me!) seems to be a matter of making choices when legally that is debatable, in our courts, ours were built under democracy which forced us to rewrite that “pledge” I pledge allegiance to my flag & for the DEMOCRACY for which it stands, we are ONE NATION, indivisible, with more liberty & justice than Americans will ever know. Because they are a Republic 🤣

@@cme98nobody is reading this

Welcome 😊

Indeed, that is a good idea. I wonder if there’s any third-party ones available

Yeah, I never really touched base in the video on that. It has built-in memory, and when you connect it to the app. You can transfer the con tent over to your smart phone or tablet. I do believe you can also plug it in by the USB-C into a tablet or PC. And transfer the files manually.

No, it is not water resistant. And they warn not to fight over water. The sensors on the bottom don’t like water.

Indeed, I had that drone as well, and I never made a video about it because it was horrible. I tested it for two weeks and can never get it to work properly. This one works surprisingly well in fact, I’ve been using it the last couple days while I’ve been traveling out east. They’ll be clips in my outdoor vlogs. It just works every time. Easy to pull out, deploy, and then put in my pocket.

The gopro has much better image quality.

I'm also curious to know this

Thanks for watching!

It is by addmotor it is one of their cruiser style bikes. I actually did a full review on it on my channel if you go back about a month ago.

@@AirPhotography Lovely!! You are the best thx!

Unfortunately, It can only follow people at this point. Who knows maybe a firmware update will add new features.

The price is absolute joke

It is nifty, but it is also a USD 199/249 kit, maximum price, in all sincerity. Range for hover and short pop for birds' eye are not impressive for the price range, and 20kph, no gully, cliff, or waterway terrain, and wind sensitivity are issues. I don't mean to destroy the unit, it has its place and convenience, maybe good for family bicycle rides, an isolated beach where its near proximity paired with its noise wouldn't bother others for example, but not in the 300 USD price range. JMO

@@RonniesRambles I’m surprised if DJI wont come out with a better product like this , like you said for the a lower price this’ll be a hit

Unfortunately, no, it will not

It can be purchased with 2 batteries and charging hub. Batteries charge pretty fast, I'd say 2hrs and flight time per battery I'm getting is around almost 10min which is actually very good cause you're not flying this like a normal camera drone. One more or less operates this on a ad-hoc basis, the moment you want a selfie or group vid/pics or just want an orbit/arial around a nice spot/landmark it's ready and then back in your pocket for the next adventure.
