HOVERAir X1 Pocket-Sized Self-Flying Camera / Hover X1 Unboxing and Demo

[@rick21090]

Bought one for my son's 35th birthday today. Sent him this video requesting he watch it before using it. Very nicely done; easy to follow; and, an excellent reference video. Thank you.

[@randomadventures2.0]

Happy birthday!

[@officialshadetreeamerica]

Ok, now that's really cool! Thanks for letting me know about this product. I sent the video link out to some other creators as well.

[@randomadventures2.0]

Absolutely brother great talking to you the other night

[@JeffCooper28]

Really slick! You are gonna have too much fun with that Tony. Great video.

[@randomadventures2.0]

Thank you Jeff yes I was amazed at what this thing can do

[@PhilTParker]

Thanks for the video Tony! I have my Hover Air X1, having just received it yesterday. I have flown it three times indoors and another three outdoors. It’s fun! This little unit will be perfect for me to take some great shots when I am over in BVI for an upcoming vacation on a 42 foot Catamaran. It’s so convenient. I can’t get over how easy it is to operate!

[@randomadventures2.0]

I hope you're having an amazing time with it

[@Flyingramses]

Just don’t fly over water or you will lose it, it does not like water or snow, flat surfaces, it likes to have plenty of ground differentiation to keep its bearings.

[@PhilTParker]

@@Flyingramses Thanks-I made sure to not go over the water. The prevailing winds limited me to just a handful of short flights when we visited various islands. The most beautiful shot of all was an up and away and back, split into two shots. Unfortunately both were ruined because the drone encountered a gimbal glitch where it was shaking up and down during both segments. It was a shame because of how beautiful the deserted beach was that we had visited. The only way to get there was for us to take a kayak from our Catamaran and paddle to shore. Still, this little drone is hands down the best thing to have with you on a vacation. Zero setup time, and phone not required are the reasons why this tiny “flying camera” is the best!

[@Flyingramses]

@@PhilTParker Sounds like a fab vacation, glad you are enjoying the drone, hope the gimbal settles 👍🏼😁

[@PhilTParker]

@@Flyingramses That “up, away and back down to me” flight was the only time the gimbal has ever acted up. I think it may have been caused by the wind. The unit was doing its best, fighting against it a bit. And yes, it was a great vacation. The advantage of doing it on a catamaran is that the place you stay on is a boat…and that means you will end up not just enjoying one island, but many of them! We probably went to eight or nine of them. I’m thinking of going back to Bora Bora with my wife on my next trip. What an incredible place THAT was. I have never seen anything like it…the color of the water was unreal, like an electric aqua marine color. It was due to clear fairly shallow water over a white sand bottom in the massive lagoon that circles the jagged mountain island. And around THAT circles a huge reef, which blocks the ocean waves and causes the inner waters to be very tranquil, magnifying the color effect. All of that in the balmy South Pacific with its constantly mild conditions. The air temperature, water temperature and humidity were all 80 degrees, causing me to jokingly refer to the situation there as “80/80/80”.

Wooohoooo new toy to have some cool time with. Can't wait to see you use it when you're out on a camping adventure

[@josephkelly9532]

Very Very cool, I think you will have a lot of fun with that, and get a lot of great shots of you walking through the woods or wherever.

[@randomadventures2.0]

Out filming late today and through the night and I got an opportunity to use it for a couple shots I think it's going to be pretty impressive I was able to edit it right into the videos as I was going along because I added everything on my phone. Very very handy and easy to use

[@denniskuenze659]

Wow that's really cool Tony. I can see you using this a lot. It's way out of my price range.

[@randomadventures2.0]

Yeah it's out of my price range too that's why I was happy to do a review in exchange for the product but I did not have a big expectation of it until I got it right out of the box so simple to use

[@denniskuenze659]

@@randomadventures2.0 I can see so many uses for it. I’m really impressed with it, but the price is more than I’m willing to spend.

[@jakemcclellan8399]

I can tell you are going to have a great time with it.

[@randomadventures2.0]

Jake I already am my mind is going a million miles an hour at just the uses of it just for small B shot roll. You're going to see some of it in Thursday night's video I'm still out filming and actually said good night in the video so now I'm just doing a little bit of catching up on comments until morning filming starts again LOL

Really nice job at demo. Thank you. Amazon has them in stock.

[@randomadventures2.0]

Well thank you very much. That's awesome I heard they're getting hard to get

[@Jayshipley701]

That’s pretty awesome Tony , and it would be great for your camping videos by adding an extra element. But being retired and living on SSI , the price is a little out of reach for me.

[@LHLgardenservices]

Hi Tony..I too do all my editing on my phone but i cant do voiceovers or overlays like you are doind....what phone are you using? And have you downloaded an editing ap? Good review 👍

[@randomadventures2.0]

So I have a Samsung Android when I first started my channel for about 8 months I had an S9 then for 2 years I had the S21 and now I have the s23. I do all of my editing with PowerDirector which is an app for the Android phone

[@LHLgardenservices]

@randomadventures2.0 cheers ill look into that ✌️

[@poolgod80]

so tempted to buy one

[@randomadventures2.0]

I would have to say that if you were going to buy one just make sure that you are going to use it and if you do get one you're going to love it

[@genedutton28]

This looks like a great tool for future videos!!

[@randomadventures2.0]

Yes I think tonight's video you will notice a few shots

[@wurbangroupcredit833]

Such a beautiful gadget. “ little buddy “ 😂

[@randomadventures2.0]

I know I think I gave it a name Mrs 2.0 laughed when she heard me call it little buddy in fact she asked as I was leaving tonight to go on a camp she said are you taking your new little buddy with you LOL

[@joeyinthewild3321]

That will definitely be in my arsenal

[@randomadventures2.0]

Joey if you do get one these things are amazing I'm out filming today and through the night into the morning and I got a beautiful shot around the car and was able to cut all those b-roll sequences into a orbit around me inserting different things into it well you'll see it Thursday night

Yes fish oil good for lowering cholesterol thank you so much my friend

[@JOECorsoNova]

Does the footage go to your camera roll on the phone? Really cool toy! Thanks for the excellent review.

[@randomadventures2.0]

There is a hover app that you download to your phone and when you open the app all of your new footages on there and you just connect to Wi-Fi and pick the videos that you want to transfer over and they download over very quick and then any that you download are stored on the app for future reference but goes right into your camera roll so when I edit on my phone through PowerDirector I was able to drop the footage from that camera right in line when I needed it. So simple to use

Definitely try to keep them camping related camping videos come out on Thursdays on the other days I do other stuff. If I see it affecting the growth of the channel I will certainly consider it but for now it keeps growing

[@mr.boutdoorsmisadventures7464]

Hello Tony. This thing to be honest is nothing more than a Toy. It is very limited with what it can do. I have been into drones for a few years. Any "Good" Drone does not take longer than a Minute at the most to get in the air. If you want to have great video with many options of filming at 4k video, long Flight time. etc. You need a much better drone. Just saying. But for a cool little toy that thing is cool. Just all depends on what you want from a drone.

[@randomadventures2.0]

Yes it's not your typical drone and I'm not quite sure I would call it a toy but it is a tool and though it has limitations of distance and flight I can see where it would be a benefit for non major drone Flyers like yourself

[@teofilol2666]

If the GPS is not good, I don't think it takes no longer than one minute to get it in the air. Sometimes it takes forever 😂

[@jamesrockford6700]

Very cool drone

[@randomadventures2.0]

I was very impressed with it
