This little drone works great for a quick action shot, and when you don't want to carry around a bunch of camera gear. Go along with the GO2 or GO3 action camera. Video is also good...

This was a super helpful video! I flew mine for the first time yesterday. I live in Southern California and we have a huge atmospheric river of storms hitting our area right now. So I wasn’t able to do very much flying. I did fly inside a few times, and then outside a few times. Even with the limited flying, I had a blast! This little guy is absolutely fun, and it’s so easy! The easy part just adds to the whole experience. I bought two extra batteries, as well as the charger. Next up I have two 8bitdo controllers coming. I know one particular model works, but I am trying another one from 8bitdo which has two joysticks. I hope it works. Anyway I will be bringing the drone with me when I go on vacation with my wife in BVI on a 42 foot Catamaran. Although we will be on the water, I do think I’ll be able to send the drone up for the occasional straight up and down shot when we are moored or at anchor. I will NOT be sending it out over the water though. Cheers!

I have to manually fly a DJI drone to grab footage. I like that Hover Air X1, just wish it had some obstacle avoidance sensors. I guess it's a really good drone for some B-roll footage.

Thanks for this video! Wasn’t expecting this when I subscribed to this channel. Can you get it to hover behind you while you are facing away and also moving? I’m think about using it to film you from behind practicing pickle ball or playing several shots of golf, like waking down a hole, not just set in one spot.

@CitizenCycle9259 ай бұрын
i have used the Hover mode inside my garage and it did okay. not sure i would try any other modes inside since there is no obstacle avoidance. And also, it's downward cameras read the ground surface and it needs to have texture, so probably wouldnt do well on the laminate floors in my house... would be great for aeriel shots of a property though. real estate is definitely a use i did not think of.

i have never tried the insta360 but that would probably be better for daily use and high speed, this HoverAir is i think better for dramatic shots or B roll.

Pretty cool, but at $399.00 not a good value when you consider you can buy a DJI Mini SE for less $339 that does all the same follow-me modes plus a lot more.
@pbase368 ай бұрын
The mini SE doesn't seem to have a quick push button feature, you need to attach it to your phone to fly it. That's one of the big selling points of this drone, quick setup and shut down. The mini has no "follow" mode, and this unit doesn't require GPS

I guess it goes off of a tracker that you carry or your phone when connected to the app. I would have to slip my phone or the tracker into somebody’s coat pocket.
