HOVERAir X1 PRO Standard, 4K Action Flying Camera, Foldable Follow-me Drone | 42 KM/H Follow Speed, 15+ Fully Automatic Flight Modes, Fly Anywhere with OmniTerrain, SmoothCapture 2.0

So I was looking on amazon one day and I wanted to find a drone that was built well, was easy to use/operate nad had a really good camera. This is the drone that I decided to try out. This drone comes with a usb c to usb c charging cable, a charging block, 2 batteries, a charger for both batteries, a small bag for the drone and a large bag for the drone and accessories. The drone is small enough to fit easily in your hand when folded up. The drone was very easy to operate. I simply hold the power button for a brief period and the drone turns on. Afterwards, I can select the mode I want to work with whether it is hover, follow, birds eye view, orbit or even ski mode. Once I select the mode I prefer for my needs, I press the button once, allow the drone to rest on my hand and in a few seconds, the drone lifts off while maintaining focus on its target, the one you intend to photograph/record. The drone has an app that makes it easy to see what the drone is looking at, when to start/stop video and to help choose the best moments for that special photo. It’s a great photographer on the go. This is drone has a 4k camera which is great for capturing family memories, scenery or just high video in general. I am really impressed with how well the drone stabalizes itself to take great photo and video. Overall, this drone has a lot of value. So much to offer and I cant wait to utilize for family and business events. I look foward to using it. I suggest you give it a try as well.

The most important thing to know about the HOVERAir X1 PRO is how simple and intuitive it is to operate. You don’t need prior drone experience, complicated setup, or a steep learning curve. From the first use, everything feels straightforward: turn it on, choose a mode, and it just works. This makes it perfect for quick action shots, travel, or capturing moments without stopping to “manage a drone.” Despite the simplicity, the results are impressive for its size. It feels more like a flying camera than a traditional drone, which is exactly what makes it so enjoyable to use. Bottom line: If you want a 4K flying camera that’s lightweight, portable, and extremely easy to operate, this is a great choice. Ideal for beginners or anyone who values speed and simplicity over complex controls. Best for: travelers, action shots, beginners Less ideal for: users looking for full manual drone control

I started out with the X1 and then decided to upgrade to the Pro. The AI technology behind its ability to capture videos and photos or even follow you effortlessly is amazing. It’s definitely super user-friendly, making it perfect for beginners and experienced drone users. One of my favorite features is its portability. Thanks to the folding design, it’s easy to pack and travel with, so I can take it anywhere without any issues. The overall build quality, intelligent features, and ease of use make this drone standout compared to other. I would highly recommend the HoverAir X1Pro to anyone looking for a reliable, innovative, and fun way to capture moments while traveling. You no longer need to ask someone to take a phot of the entire family or do the one arm selfie lol.

I'm a little late to this party - I have the original HoverAir X1, which has served me well. I upgraded to the X1 Pro, with the combo package that includes 2 extra batteries, the charger, and the 65w wall wart; and the Controller Combo, which has the beacon and two joysticks in a case. The HoverAir X1 Pro can fly higher and further than the original X1, but retains all the easy to use features. With the beacon and joysticks, it can be flown like a traditional drone, but still using the ease of launch and retrieve on the palm of your hand. Battery life is improved with the "smart" batteries, lasting up to 16 minutes. The beacon and joysticks connect quickly. If you choose to, you can also use your phone through the Hover app to control on Manual Mode. The X1 Pro has a built in cage surrounding the props - it is flexible and durable. The price is higher than the original X1, but the added features and capabilities are well worth the price - this is a camera drone that will get more use, because it is easy to use.

Sorry, Drone does NOT work for Mountain Biking: I purchased this drone specifically for Mountain Biking. Unless you are a road biker or very, VERY mild trail rider with NO obstacles, this drone does not function as stated. I used it with & without Beacon riding incredibly slow, and it still lost me and/or got lost in the tress. Even hit a tree once on an open turn and broke the camera. I got another replacement unit for further testing and could not get it to follow me with any satisfaction. Maybe if I rode very slow it could track me, but I don't ride slow. I hoped the Beacon would help it track me, but alas, the drone could not keep up other than a walking pace. For any other use, I imagine it would be fine, but not for $500 & $800 with Beacon.

Love this drone, specially for single travelers is so amazing to use it and take cool pictures without asking anyone to help me to take a cool pictures and videos

What a complete waste of $500. The drone flew off course, got lost on the first day I used it, as I was riding a trail on my gravel bike Poof! $500 💸 gone on the first day of use. 🤬👎🏼 Above is my previous review about the drone. However, I forgot to update this review after HoverAir sent me a replacement, not once, but twice. Their customer service was absolutely amazing! They were completely understanding of my particular situation & went way above & beyond to help me out. The fact that the sent me two replacements after I lost two of their drones speaks volumes to their customer service. I have been using the third drone for a while now, & have not lost this one. 🤞🏼 My only wish is that the battery could be prolonged. Other than that, the drone is super cool!

I have been playing with different drones lately and wanted something a little bit more independent especially for creating great memories with my family. Since the unpacking this drone felt different, I was surprised by the compact product, the details and also the break test piece included, which I did try a lot to break it but without luck lol. Once I fully charged and downloaded the android app, the process to pair and connect was very easy. As soon as it was connected it automatically updated the firmware and than I was ready to use it. One more detail on the app is the classes it offers, for each flying mode you can watch detailed video with examples on what kind of video it will capture. Outdoor first flight was smooth and to be honest you can fully utilize the drone without even opening the app, with all the preloaded and customizable path settings. I was very surprised with the tracking on bike mode, I tested it in full daylight but also after dark, at around 8pm, under trees with very minimalistic light and it still performed like a charm. Solo flight with the app connection it went all the way to 100m, I wasn't trying to risk it to go further, especially because it was a bit windy. It handled the wind very great, ceystal clear image and also I like the audio recording as well. I will continue to enjoy it almost weekly moving forward and especially on holidays it will be the favorite gadget. I am still learning a lot on how to use drones and this one made it super easy for me. I need to purchase the next bundle with more batteries and the beacon, that I think is a must need for myself.

Also ich bin sehr zufrieden, die Bilder der Kamera sind sehr gut. Das gleiche gilt für die Bedienung. Zu kritisieren habe ich das man die Batterie nur mit der Drohne aufladen kann. Die Betriebsdauer der Akkus ist auch nicht besonders, aber das ist auch verständlich. Ansonsten sind die Pluspunkte die geringe Größe und die gute Bildqualität.

Great little drone that I use for cycling. If only the battery was better (4 stars). The software works well to download clips. Clips are extremely good quality!

Facilità d’uso è top

PROS: absoluta facilidad de manejo en modo automático; nutrido repertorio de vuelos programados; portabilidad extrema; mínimo peso; concebido para uso "selfie" CONTRAS: calidad de video en 4k buena, pero no excelente; dificultad para usar los modos automáticos sin referencia visual del operador (ejemplo: no es fácil que haga una espiral si se quiere que el punto de arranque sea un objeto, no un rostro); duración de la batería insuficiente; modo manual correcto pero muy limitado en alcance usando sólo el móvil como mando (unos 20 metros, según modelo de móvil); precio poco competitivo CONCLUSIÓN: imbatible como dron tipo "lo llevo siempre a mano". Muy útil para disponer de tomas aéreas en cualquier sitio rápidamente. Imprescindible para los entusiastas del selfie.

Tolle Drohne, durch die Automatikprogramme auch für Einsteiger sehr empfehlenswert. Qualität überzeugt ebenfalls. Preislich natürlich eine gehobene Kategorie. Wer das verschmerzen kann wird mit tollen Aufnahmen belohnt
