Do you use it with the beacon controller or just the drone itself? Thank you for the clip.

So cool. thanks for sharing that, so awesome. I'd be concerned about trying that where I live - too much traffic around here...

Appreciate you going into details with this mode. No one else has on youtube that I could find. Its the one mode i'm most interested in and you've answered it well. It doesn't track aswell as follow and certainly not around corners.

how you male the HUD ?

Thx

Great! THX!!! A comparison with NEOs direction track would be ultra vool

Very useful, thanks for trying all the combinations and giving us your opinion 😊

Looking to get a tarmac expert soon

Nice color

Auto land needs to auto hover until it’s forced to auto land!

Great video, but turn HDR off ! Too vibrant!

Hover (Huh-ver) not Hoover

_This is a game changer. Imagine having 2; 1 in front & 1 in the back._

As a cyclist of X1 user, I have the same experience.

Good fair review but riding on a highway with any drone .........not cool.

Yes!! you got the name right this time, good job!

Epic video! Thanks for posting and taking the time to make it!

The original X1 would swing back and keep tracking you as if it was follow mode, that at least produces quite a nice clip. It makes sense that dolly track is slower, because the prop setup and aero is optimized for forward flight, this is in almost all drones.

Great Vid ! Thanks for posting

Thanks for the video. I’ve ordered the ski package but want to use the Hover for cycle touring. The dolly track is the mode I’m most interested in learning about. You answered a lot of questions. Cheers!

Thanks for sharing... interesting that they are the same issues with my Hover shoots..

Most helpful and thank you .

Thanks for the review!! I'm wondering if the drone could dolly track a skier, going around 25-30mph? Any thoughts?

Good to know all your points

Are you using the active track factory setting?

Great video, keep up the good work, Hi from the UK, be good to see you over on the skill school chanel.

Great video! As a cyclist X1 owner waiting for the pro, this is very informative. Most of the dolly track clips I’ve seen seem unsable. Like a yo-yo. Here the ”high-far” is the only settting producing anything decent for some very short steady clips. Hope they will optimize the software. In all settings the camera could be angled a bit lower.

Thanks for putting this awesome video together. A few questions. 1. Will you be test it with a beacon? 2. Once it swings to the back, will the drone swings back to the front and resume the dolly track mode again assume it can catch up to you?

Great video 👍

Excellent video and detailed testing, thanks for sharing ! Low/Far wasn't that bad actually, it went "back and forth" less than Flat/Far I thought, maybe due to different speeds ?

Thank you so much. This is the real world test I've been waiting for. I hope you can test the drone tracking from the side as well as on descents and climbs. Also, I hope you get to test the drone with a tracker to see how it improves the performance especially on turns. Excellent and extremely useful review.

First, thanks a ton! looking at the clouds and trees, I see a lot of compression artifacts. Is there a way to turn the compression down and bitrate up? Take for example the power lines starting at the @4:00 mark. It's like texture loading on a video game.

Why would you need a drone for road cycling? It's painfully boring to watch

Kuhic Canyon

They really should get the "Hover" Air X1 to "hover" for a few minutes before autolanding. Thanks for the in depth review!

ill say this, the camera quality is brilliant the same as the tracking on it

Awesome. It actually works

Good review with lots of detail

Is it also possible to shoot stills? And how is the quality? I do drone-photography when I go cycling in the mountains, would be cool if this one also has decent stills as it is way more easy to take on a bikeride then my current drone.

Man fantastic video! Way to go ! Bravo ! Great work

Great video! Thanks for posting! By the way, it's pronounced "hover" air. Not Hoover air. Cheers!

I got the cycling bundle. Has arrived, but UK winter is setting in so not sure when I will be able to use it yet.

Great review. No fluff and straight to the point. 👍🏿 Really impressed with the capability of that drone. Were you satisfied with the video quality in comparison to the Dji mini 4 pro? Many thanks from Zambia

Hi James, how did you get the data from your Garmin fit file to overlay the video! I received my X1 Pro with Beacon today (Monday in Australia) so might have to wait until the weekend to fully test it out riding. I’ve had the original X1 for the past year and my only issue, like you, was the slower speed couldn’t keep up. I used it more often on gravel rides and quiet country paths but even the original X1 was too slow so your video shows the new X1 Pro solves that. Not sure how I’ll use the Beacon yet - stronger tracking I guess but tracking doesn’t seem too bad without it. So far on day one, today, all I’ve used the Beacon for is to fly the X1 Pro around my back yard in manual mode!

HI, 26 MPH tracking is impressive .....Is it possible for you to review the DJI NEO Drone. thanks

Good video. I vant wait until i get mine

Hi, have you tried the follow me at close & high setting? How did you put the data in the video? Is it hard to do? Great video and review BTW. Thanks.

..thanks for sharing...please make some more 'dolly track mode' video and side-tracking mode video...TIA....

Thank you for the review. I bought the X1 Pro also because I am a cyclist.

Do you have a waiver from the FAA to fly a drone in Annapolis? It’s restricted airspace because of the Naval Academy and the DC No Fly Zone. You can be fined.
