I bought this drone about 5 months ago. It is a great drone for selfie photos and videos. I use it when hiking and vacationing. It fits in my pocket and is ready to fly immediately. I am very impressed with this drone. Great review Cap.

Standard for $350 on sale but still pricey for something the older DJI drone like mini 2 se can also do and more. I'll wait till they upgrade to X2 w better video quality and be able to hover over water and cliff. Or DJI can copy the same features.

Okay, had it for a week now, and tested it in nearly all the places I go. The simplest of demonstrations. Tried it in the house downstairs, then even went up the stairs and it adjusted. Didn’t try it going down the stairs. Have to be careful with turning lights on or off, and especially with sun glare that washes out the image its following. Still fun and knowing that all tech like us, has its limitations! Good job, (even figured out what works with sound. Thanks for the post!

@falloutdjsteve 6 месяцев назад

For all questioning the price or commenting on feature set: As an owner of over a dozen drones at all price points I get it. However, looking at this from a tech-spec perspective is not going to lead you to the right conclusion. The old phrase "it's not what you have, but what you make of it" applies here - this is a unique combination of mid-level camera/control features with advanced autonomous flight software that makes for a very compelling use case. The ability to deploy from your pocket in less than 30 seconds and capture a special moment wherever you are is something that other drones, even "mini" models, can't match. Also, there is a remote available but I consider it a non-necessary addition - this is not a drone designed to be manually flown. It is designed to be a flying camera unobtrusively capturing your moments on its own. Until you've used one yourself it is difficult to convey just how different an experience it provides.

I just installed the app - without owning the drone. There is a “try mode” where you can play through everything as if you already had the drone. There are video examples for each flight mode. I find this very helpful in making the purchase decision - the marketing department did a really good job there. ;-)

@TimHief 6 месяцев назад

I was hoping you'd do a review of this, I appreciate how you do reviews and your additional personal comments. That said, I see this drone in my future. I don't worry about the quality of the video because review has said mostly the same thing about it, as you did. For the target platforms (YT, FB, IG, X, etc.) this will work great, keeping in mind some adequate post processing. I suspect in a crowd this may have some challenges, it would be nice for someone to test that out. Like, will it work at a festival of some sort, or perhaps a large gathering like a company picnic or even a protest (very fashionable these days). If it can work in a crowd, the audio feature will set this apart I think. Well done, enjoyed your review.

@sumner407 6 месяцев назад

@paulking7019 6 месяцев назад

I have found that there seems to be more than one company selling this type of drone with a similar name. The prices vary greatly. For this particular one in this review, ( Great review as always! )the price is around $400 U.S. while there is another one, not reviewed, for around $50. The names are very similar too. The one I see on commercials is "Hover CAMERA X1" while this review is for the "Hover AIR X1". They look identical at a glance. The "Hover CAMERA X1", as you might have guessed, is much cheaper. To add to the confusion there are plenty of people just using "Hover X1". I have no idea which one they are talking about, unless there is a third one or even a fourth?

@CAPTAINDRONE798 6 месяцев назад

@@paulking7019zero zero robotics has made several versions of this product for years in different sizes. This is the latest greatest in a small size. It’s like DJI with their new and old models on the market (old minis cost less then new models), and of course their are the Chinese knockoffs of the DJI Mini for $50.

@BMWHP2 6 месяцев назад

@theoztreecrasher2647 6 месяцев назад

There was a version of these phone-only control selfie drones issued several years ago for similar exaggerated prices. This 1 seems to work somewhat better than that 1 which died a death because of its many limitations and Ap bugs. It ended up being discounted from its hundreds of dollars original price to scrap price. Or less even - I ended up with 2 for AU$19 each delivered from Kogan. Good value for 4 brushless motors and props, 2x 7.4v lipos and even a nice case. 😉😊

@ST19859 6 месяцев назад

Sounds like the wingsland you are talking about. I did the same thing and grabbed one last year for like $20. Even at that price I feel like it's pretty useless but might be cool to put a new board in and do a custom build. Real shame, with decent batteries, a remote and usable app it could've been a really cool little selfie drone

I saw 10+ other reviews of this, yours has been the best clear and concise explanations of the modes. I just ordered the Plus version w/3 batteries found for just over $300. With the features and simplicity, worth my money. Some feel it’s a lot, but 20 trips to star bucks is about the same! LOL I want it to supplement my DJI drones, and love the ‘pocket mobility’ of it to use. Fills in the usage I can’t do solo with my DJI drones. Don’t need it for the high cinema level stuff, but to mentor students in STEM educations. Great post, thank you!

I just got my delivery today, but waiting to open the surprise in the morning. My only question right now is about the app: Is HOVER the only mode you can record your filtered voice on? I’m hoping the other modes will allow it too. I plan to use a wireless mike so I don’t have to walk around holding my phone up to my face! Thanks for the info, will let you know how things turn out!!

Another great review. If it weren't for its high cost, for what it is, I would get one for quick B-roll videos. It's so small it's easy to take with you. But the price between $325.00 and $390.00 US, their are just better options out. But if you're not into drones I could see this bring a great vacation camera.

@PhilTParker 4 месяца назад

Mine is on the way. I am going on vacation to the Caribbean I decided this was the perfect selfie device to bring with us. One thing I know will be a challenge…the wind. In that part of the world, it’s beautiful. But the tradewinds are there constantly. This means there will be many times that I can’t fly the device. Add to the fact that we will be spending a lot of our time on a Catamaran, and now water is part of the picture. Drones and water generally don’t mix well. So, I plan on taking my opportunities to film with it on land…when we are taking our island visits. It’s very small, so if I can’t use it, fine. But I do think there will be times that I will be able to use it. Possibly early in the day would be my guess. Cheers!

@jimsnodgrass8454 5 месяцев назад

Very good review, Thanks, I agree with all you've said. I would like to add a couple comments tho. I too have been using one for about 6 months and have taken more than 200 clips with it.. It was great at the park since kids love to let it chase them around so mine has crashed dozens of times into monkey bars and things like that.. I found learnng to fly it manually a bit awkward but useful if you want to say do a survey of your roof and gutters. and will it take much longer video clips if you do that, or use dolley track mode.. It does handle wind well, and is still pretty stable in significant winds. There is no collision avoidance detection in it so it will fly into branches, cars, walls etc.. and tumble down without recovering. Sadly it will often delete those videos which would be interestig to watch, but are auto-deleted as it falls to the ground. if you're cutting tight cornes and it's tracking you it's liable to clip something because it only tracks you .. it doesen't see obsticals as do many more expensive drones. . I wish that it recorded the pre and post flights 2 seconds longer before shutting the camera off because it often clips off the take-off's and landings and any transitions between Zoom-in and Zoom out. The other thing you may find can happen is this:.. if you're in follow-me mode and your subject stops abruptly the X1 can bump into the back of the person's head and it's prone to grab any long hair and wind it into the prop motors. It didn't hurt, but would not fly after that until I got a very very tiny torx screw driver bit and was able to carefuly remove the 6 bottom cage cover screws and the three motor mount screws to be able to access and carefully unwind/remove the strands of fine hair wound into the two front motors.. Now it flies fine again.. but I did notice three spots where the cage support braces had broken during prior crashes. It's likey due to bumping into branches and car's and things over hard ground and they will break if it falls a long way. .. but it's now flying fine again and I really like it a LOT. The X1 can shoot about a dozen or more short videos before you need to unload/erase them. It auto-updated the firmware easily about 6 times and I'm now on version 7.4.1 . I hope they fic the video clipping issue but am happy with everything else it can do which is a LOT! Thanks jimS

@PhilTParker 4 месяца назад

Actually you can absolutely control it with a controller! There is one that people buy for the switch. It’s called the 8Bitdo. I’m going to first try out my xbox wireless controller on it when it arrives tomorrow. Mine is both bluetooth and 2.4ghz so perhaps it will work. You need to use the “custom” function and attach your controller through that part of the menu. Regarding the brand I mentioned, there are at least several different versions. The one I heard works is the micro version. It’s very small with no knobs. But like I said I’m going to see what the best option is. Google Bard AI says that multiple options are reported to work by various users. Cheers!

@CAPTAINDRONE798 6 месяцев назад

Probably… because it is just recording whatever sound the phone gives it

@falloutdjsteve 6 месяцев назад

Yes, it supports any microphone compatible with your phone, wired or wireless.

Great video 👍 It’s an interesting drone, although a little expensive for what it is. One thing to note.. if the CAA get their way, then this little drone will need a Remote ID module attaching in a couple of years for the UK. Unlike in the US, they are wanting sub 250g drones to have remote ID! 😢

@CAPTAINDRONE798 6 месяцев назад

That is silly because $20 toy drones for kids, that are harmless due to motors & range, would need remote ID.

@g7rta40 6 месяцев назад

@@CAPTAINDRONE798 I know. I think up to 100g might be exempt as long as it doesn’t have a camera. It’s crazy isn’t it? This is one of the new rules the CAA are recommending, but it won’t be until 2026 - I’m hoping it doesn’t happen.

I noticed your head camera was a GoPro, just for curiosity why didn't you choose the ace pro to shoot this footage?

@CAPTAINDRONE798 6 месяцев назад

Too heavy for a head cam in my opinion. However the side ground footage was from the Ace and significantly cropped in. Take my word… it is a camera with image quality better than the competition.

Anyone remember the 1995 horror sci fi movie 'Screamers?' When ever I hear a loud drone I recall that movie.

Does this gizmo follow and ljj ok close on when there are other people nearby? Cheers

@CAPTAINDRONE798 3 месяца назад

I have no idea what you wrote due to gibberish words. This drone follows by shape identification so if you stand close to other people it will get confused.

@obsidiansands 3 месяца назад

The price is probably due to the simple "AI" it has, it's got to be at least "smart" enough to be able to follow you and perform those flight paths with minute calculation on its part. What's lacking is a dedicated voice command or small remote that you can use to switch modes on the fly instead of having to have it return to you to switch modes. I know that the phone can do that via their app, but having a half-palm-sized remote that can double as an ad-hoc noice canceling microphone would be awesome to have.

Are there any drones or flying cameras that aren't loud with built in microphones? To eliminate having to do post edits

@CAPTAINDRONE798 5 месяцев назад

If you put a mic in a drone all you will hear is the drone.
