8K in the Palm of Your Hand! - HOVERAir X1 PROMAX Review

In the world of drones, things have gotten pretty homogenous lately with just one company occupying almost the entire market. Last year HOVERAir attempted to shake things up with their original X1, a consumer level drone that was super easy to use. Now they're back with the X1 PRO and X1 PROMAX, a new take, with new drones and new sensors to up their game. But does it live up to the PRO in the name? Let's find out!

Glad to hear it!

Hi Wes, I'm curious about the stills from this drone. I've been looking for a small drone to pocket and carry around to take photos of the family, so I don't have to carry around a bulky camera and tripod to be in photos. The most important things I'd like to know are: what is the resolution of the images it captures? What is the image quality like? How well controlled is the noise? How easy is it to set up to capture, say, an orbit of a small group? Thanks for all your great videos.

[@metalceesie219]

i like to see a comparison with the pro version

[@WesPerry]

I think there are a couple people out there with both This does have a totally different (and larger) image sensor, not just more throughput, so I would imagine there would be some significant differences in dynamic range and noise performance

[@AndreLim-q1l]

Now if only they made a proper remote with a screen so we could see its capabilities in manual flight

It’s coming very soon, and is called the beacon.

8K nur wenn das Tracking deaktiviert ist!

[@WesPerry]

That’s not true at all. 8K30 works in all modes. (Just double checked for you in case firmware had changed).
