Self Flying Camera or a Drone? Hover Air X1 Review

My favourite VFX/Motion graphics assets ($50 off the annual plan): shorturl.at/msu39
Review of Hover Air X1, a self flying camera/drone device from Zero Zero Robotics. This is a very innovative device that doesn't need controller and it can fly by itself.

Awesome! Would love to have one!

[@PavSZ]

You should!

[@user-wi9fu3fc2l]

Great vid, Thanks.

[@PavSZ]

thanks!

[@Ansonandco]

I made the video!!! Yeeeee!

[@PavSZ]

of course!

[@Quizinators]

Brilliant video thank you. Very hard to find ‘non’ promotional reviews on this, I’d LOVE to have one but as you said a little pricey. DJI would make a killing with something like this with a decent camera! Hopefully I’ll still resist…..😅

[@PavSZ]

Thanks! I'd pay more for DJI video quality in this

[@Ansonandco]

This camera is pretty cool!

[@PavSZ]

isn't it just?

[@TheRealRichardWong]

Good review and video Pav! I wish it's a bit cheaper as i feel it's more a toy (but a very fun one).

[@PavSZ]

Thanks Richard! It should be cheaper as is but I'd be happy to pay more if it delivered DJI video quality

[@TheRealRichardWong]

@@PavSZ yeah agree. I think it may just take a bit of time for the company to improve the technology but it does look really interesting

[@DaveSoltura]

Excellent presentation! Very exciting product. :) Looks like a good alternative to the Osmo Pocket 3 for some use cases!

[@PavSZ]

It really is!

[@bzdishekzapadlovsky]

As a result, I purchased both for travel, DJI Osmo Pocket 3 and Hover Air X1. In general, I came to the conclusion that there are no many cameras and they all fulfill their task.

[@adrianwilk9368]

That is the shame about the drop in quality with minimum light! Great review!

[@PavSZ]

it is still great, fun camera to play with

[@markjob6354]

*It does do 2.7K max resolution, which is above standard HD, so you could get away with up rezzing it to UHD 4K. Like you say, if your intended audience is cell phone or vertical video cell phone, then it should be quite usable. However, I would like to see a slightly better UHD resolution camera on the next version, perhaps an Hover Air X1 MK II ?*

[@PavSZ]

yes me too!

[@MichaelPerez83]

Hey Pav! Where’s the NAB video? I saw you there winning all of the giveaways 😁.

[@PavSZ]

Haha! Yes, it's coming

[@IslandTides]

SOLD !!! Damn.....now I have to buy one. I have to have one now. BUT one AMAZON (Canada) there are two options... Hoverair x1 Standard and Hoverair X1 Combo..... Reading through, I can't see what the difference is, other than the $100.oo difference in price. What is the difference? New subscriber here btw. Comment update: never mind... I found out what the difference is... one includes 2 batteries and charger. the other only includes 1 battery..no mention of a charger (but there has to be a charger,,,shouldn't there be?). Anyhow..... Bad bad me... I bought one. 🙄

[@PavSZ]

yeah, extra battery and and a charger. Totally worth it. You can charge the battery inside the drone as well. I really like mine, really cool little device

[@sreerag2752]

How to do colour grade this

[@PavSZ]

In Adobe Premiere, using my own LUTs

[@gilaiyzenberg4588]

really interesting! new technologies are always great! But for that price you can get a DJI drone.

[@PavSZ]

maybe but can it fly by itself? 😉

[@Notagain640]

Dji is a very different drone. Apples and pears. If I go back packing and want some holiday movies, the X1 is what I'm taking.

[@PavSZ]

@@Notagain640 yep. Not comparable and this is made to be fun and simple (but too expensive)

[@s.mcchristy9704]

Could I get the X1 to follow my dog?

[@PavSZ]

hm, good question. I don't know. I think it needs a human form to register and track. I'll test that if I can find a willing dog
