HoverAir X1 Durability | 50 Crashes Later

After five months of flying (and crashing) the HoverAir X1, how is it holding up? How much damage has it sustained?

Takes some hits for sure. Nice little drone. Thank you for sharing.

[@RhodySeth]

It's small but tough!

[@OutdoorsWithJohnUSA]

That's pretty cool, thanks for the update on how the X1 is performing

[@RhodySeth]

Thanks for watching John!

[@wendingourway]

Those head-on collisions with the trees actually look rather cool!! lol Would be cool if it would follow Otis around...but maybe it would succumb if he thought it was a banana!! LOL That crazy glue or gorilla glue can take care of many of those little fixes I'd think. Fun one to watch!!

[@RhodySeth]

Apparently they aren't great at targeting dogs, only people. Too bad!

[@BearTrekAdventures]

Nice update! Sure would help if I had something like that.

[@RhodySeth]

Yeah the perfect kind of drone for long hikes since it's so portable.

[@laffitteoutdoors]

Seems like the X1 learned its flight patterns from boogie!

[@RhodySeth]

Haha, this little guy is full send all the time!

No, it’s MORE cats in the video please :) Amazing shots with that drone, it was a great gift. You can glue the broken piece together by carefully heating it up. The melted plastic will merge and you can even shape it correctly using a needle. I’ve fixed many broken toys for my kids that way :)

[@RhodySeth]

That's a good idea about the melting. As for cats, here's an unlisted one of when they were young if you want all the adorables: kzbin.info/www/bejne/gKWuc2OMob2nd7c

@@RhodySeth how cute! 🤩

[@DroneSyndrome]

Time to swapped out the broken propellers and guards for new ones. I actually did a video on the Hover Air X1 Repair Kit on my channel. It’s extremely easy to fix. As for the guards that are not replaceable, I’d crazy glue it back together very carefully.

[@RhodySeth]

Good idea on the glue!

[@bradwoodley4406]

That’s so cool. How fast can it travel, could it keep up with a mountain bike if the path were clear?

[@RhodySeth]

I've seen some shots with the X1 and a mountain bike - seems like it does a good job until the bike really gets moving. Then it begins to fall behind. The new ones coming out are faster so they'll likely be a good choice for biking.

[@michael_budda]

If the X pro or Max came with some rudimentary obstacle avoidance…man that’d be a banger

[@RhodySeth]

I think the Pro Max might have an additional sensor, but I’m not sure.

[@DaveCollierCamping]

Wow

[@RhodySeth]

The technology of the Gods at the palm of our hands!

[@AnotherCG]

That one brake is not going to affect it. O you just use some CA glue

[@RhodySeth]

I think I'll leave it. Yeah people are suggesting glue but they all underestimate my ability to fuck up simple things.

[@SetForAdventures]

Hi Seth boi it’s took some good hits no doubt! Great that it’s still flyable 👌🏻👌🏻 Brilliant bit if kit great update review! ATB Simon 🤠👍🏔️

[@RhodySeth]

It takes a lickin' - I'll keep putting it through the paces.
