HoverAir X1 - Can It Track Dogs?

Testing the X1 self-flying camera from Zero Zero Robotics to see if its tracking system can lock onto dogs and other pets to follow them.

Lovely dog! ❤

[@davidmacdougall910]

I haven't tried the 'follow' feature with my dog but have been experimenting with the 360 revolve and it works absolutely fine! I point it at my labrador, stand behind it, and it circles around her no problem at all.

[@Photo650D]

such a cute doggoooo!

[@spinninglink]

Well that's ashame. I pretty much only wanted this for my pets

[@WillowWalksTheAT]

Tried the same with my dog and did not work. Wondering if during initial setup, the X1 remembers the person only. Thought about resetting the X1 and have it seeing my dog 1st during setup. Then I decided too much work for now

[@ArminHirmer]

had a smilier idea for an upcoming video and tried to get the X1 to orbit around a small styrofoam dwarf... and guess what as long as it was just white it di not work. Then I painted the dwarf and that was enough to accept as face and it worked :D

[@Roos-Reviews]

Maybe I should put a human-like face on my dog and try again.

[@isrz8740]

do it!@@Roos-Reviews

[@steveosteen]

​@@isrz8740Yeah do it!

[@tomaszku4848]

@@Roos-Reviews Have you tested this idea yet? I am very curious about the results.

[@Roos-Reviews]

I was only joking.

[@issiewizzie]

Was looking forward to chasing your dog LOL

[@-joshualee-]

I've watching your most movies and tried find out the drone at Amazon to buy but I couldn't find it out. So where can I purchase it?

[@-joshualee-]

Also, one more question is what it needs to regularly be paying for Apps downloaded to play?

[@eskb1]

Thank you for testing problems... This is one thing i need this camera drone to do....what an amazing review.... Can it track people in a van or car?

[@Roos-Reviews]

It can't track vehicles, but someone suggested it might be able to track a person in a convertible.

[@driewiel]

@@Roos-Reviews Or tie someone to the back of your van?

[@yannisgk]

lol@@driewiel

[@maxthegamer]

How about printing out an image of a human and sticking it on the car/van?

[@DjFuNkysara]

Hi anyone printing the camera 3D print ? Cause it exposed when putting inside the bag

[@ieism1]

i wish it had a feature where it can follow an object or shape. The X1 has trouble following when I have a helmet on, as soon as I turn around it no longer wants to track easily. Also following a car would be sweet to get some shots, it wont do it.

[@bridgebolt51]

can you try where not to fly? cliff or water?

[@slavenracheltomasi8794]

Any idea how it does over or near water? Would it follow me if I’m on the boat moving at 10-15 mph?

[@Roos-Reviews]

It doesn't work over water or snow.

[@aerialiskites]

Do you think it would work following a rider riding a horse?

[@Roos-Reviews]

Yes I think it would. It might scare the horse though.

[@aerialiskites]

@@Roos-Reviews Yes, of course you'll have to take the horse into the equation 😉

[@yourdailyblockchain]

Very cool - would it be able to track a vehicle?

[@Roos-Reviews]

No, just people.

[@maxthegamer]

It only goes 25 km/h so you would always have to drive max 25km/h but it would probably work if you taped a printed out human paper

[@Ozpeter]

You must be barking mad to try that. :)

[@tomaszku4848]

Have you tried maybe printing a human face and holding it in front of a muzzle, a dog, or even attaching it as a mask while pairing the drone with a tracking object?

[@Roos-Reviews]

I can't say I've tried that, no.

[@TheYesnoyesnoyesno]

Thanks... What a shame, I only learnt about the drone today but half of what imagined I'd use it for would be dog stuff...

[@prmath]

What about a gorilla 😳🦍😳

[@stuntchickentv]

I wonder if can horses? Rabbit Hole Tv 🐰🕳📺

[@AnotherCG]

Lower it lower. Head needs to be higher than camera. Just get a bigger dog

[@marilubarrera3582]

If you spoke with your normal voice it would benefit your videos, that artificial mystical sounding voice detracts from the message.

[@Roos-Reviews]

If you had any idea what it took for me just to be able to speak at all, you might not be writing that comment.

[@driewiel]

But can the dog track he drone?

[@driewiel]

I think it is possible to have a 'training' option in the app. You take a picture, cut out the object what it should follow. Of course you can also put the dog in a human suit.
