At last a totally comprehensive review by someone we can trust. Excellent in every aspect thanks Mathew

[@TheDroneCreative]

Glad it was helpful! Thanks so much for watching!

[@tomlauritzen9522]

Just got mine. Having a blast with it so far.

[@MLKreame]

you got a subscription from me with your simple yet knowledgeable content

[@JohnMerryman]

Like your reviews. Factual and complete. I know you should read the manual, but you do such a good job, I feel there is no need. Keep up the good work!

[@JimKilgo]

Out standing review! I always like your videos they are very informative. I saw this HoverAir for the first time on another channel. It impressed me so much I was determined to buy one. That channel then did a giveaway and I was selected to get it from them. But it has been over. Month and they have never sent it... Communicated with them and still waiting. So now I'm just going to purchase through your link. Your review was 100x better than any I have seen. I am certified Drone pilot in the US and do a lot if commercial work and just wanted this for fun with friends and family. Plus I can see using this on jobs by my assistant to capture some bts footage on out jobs. Thanks 👍

[@Digitalmedia4less]

Awesome review video. I purchased this drone almost 6 months ago and never actually used it but now I have pulled it out and will start taking it ebike riding with me and my wife. You have one of the best tutorial videos on this Hover Air X1 I've seen. Awesome job 👍 Thank you.

[@geraldsouthard7092]

Very comprehensive video. Thanks!

[@TheDroneCreative]

Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for watching!

[@wallyworld85]

Great job with this video, sir.

[@charliemanatad]

Well done. Educational video. You’ve explained it very well. Thank you ❤

[@hummerzdca]

Great post! All that I need to learn more of now is more about the sound/voice recording part that it does. Don’t want to have to do two operations, but will review your post several times more to be sure! Thanks as I think I’ll go ahead and get one to go along with mu Mini 3 & 4 Pro!

[@Svendus]

❤ Nice and very professional review thank you well done👌

[@ladyceo4198]

Just bought one, I'm excited to use it!

[@Baddieinbiz]

Love it thanks for the video! Just to let you know, your Amazon link isn’t working at the moment! it says ‘not found’ in case you want to update this! 😊

[@TheDroneCreative]

Thank you so much - really appreciate that. Also thank you for letting me know about the link - just fixed it!!

[@adibmajid9886]

Good for solo traveler too😊

[@HikeCamp]

Excellent presentation of this little drone... Would love to have one.

[@PaulTheCyclist.]

I saw this drone a few months ago on a cycling channel. I was impressed with it as it will be great for cycling videos

[@TheDroneCreative]

Would be very handy as it could fit in a cycling jersey pocket!

[@akhehehe4302]

so have u try it while u are cycling.. is it good? no problem

[@petucker548]

Excellent review

[@Glenrsi]

Fabulous little drone. But way too expensive and i will rather have a proper GPS camera drone. Great review. 👍

[@kareliacamilo72]

Great video. Can this follow a motorcycle too? Thanks.

[@thailand999]

Good video. Thanks.

[@TheDroneCreative]

My pleasure! Thanks for watching!

[@czysiek79]

hello, do you have any photos taken with Hover x1, because everywhere there are only videos. I am interested in the quality of the photos taken by the drone?

[@Benjimikey]

Just got this in the UK as amazon had a heavy discount for 48hrs so I got it £100 off which is a great offer

[@tutuyenfamily]

Can you bring Hover X carry on airplane? I meant not using it. Thanks

[@izzaniielachannel]

Wow very nice..thanks for sharing😊

[@gregwilsonnaturephotography]

Since I have the Mini 3 pro and have not used it to it full potential... I found this one could be so quick and easy to shoot small, short clips. I'm really new to editing and combining video with multiple cameras. You mentioned this records in 2.7k wouldn't the rest of the video need to be recorded in 2.7k as well? As always, you inspire us to create! Greg

[@bassmonk2920]

I have download the footage to my iPad Hover app but cannot find it on my iPad file folder?

[@keithhowland9333]

Hi there..I just watched your video of the X1, great demo👍and have now bought one. I got it to view my bike rides, particularly in follow mode. If I set the altitude at as high as possible and want to end the sequence do I wait for it to come back to me or do I have to go underneath the X1, seems quite high, will it recognize my outstretched hand? Keep the videos coming👍

[@soarwithdean]

Does it record sound as well?

[@ladyceo4198]

How do you remove the battery to charge it? I got the combo

[@PhilTParker]

I know it’s expensive. But we are going on a vacation to BVI. I want a way to take some shots that will be beautiful, that take in all of the beautiful sights around us. What kind of price can you attach to that? Multiple experiences that you can only remember, and will never actually be experienced unless you jut buy it and use it. The only other alternative is a selfie stick and a camera that does a bit of wide angle. And it’s ok if budget rules the day for what is happening. Keep in mind that buying this unit isn’t just an expensive purchase. its an investment in your future, and along the way imagine the memories that you’ll capture along the way!

[@Spicy248]

New subscriber,i wish i can afford to buy it

[@warrenmartin8309]

Hi, really enjoyed your vlog on the HoverAir X1. Please can you tell me whether it successfully followed your under the small bridge and also in one scene it seemed to ‘follow’ (track) you from the front, is this possible or only from behind?

[@Pr3ppie]

Hi! I have a question, please. When in follow mode or dolly mode, how do I get the drone to fly back towards me and land safely on my hand?

[@akhehehe4302]

omgggg this is what im looking for.. 😭😭😭

[@dhoffman6435]

Hi N. I like the company's concept. This drone has the "wow" factor, but for a price. The combo deal is the way to go. Questions? Ok, it tracks a single person in a wide open area. What happens with several people or a family with energetic kids in the picture walking down a path or near other moving traffic approaching on the same path? Will the drone get confused, stop or crash? You also said the drone keeps you framed in the shot when moving around. Does the camera's gimbal motor auto adjust up and down as the drone moves with you? Another great review. Hope Santa is listening. Thanks.

[@TheDroneCreative]

Hey! That's a great question. Let me test the tracking with multiple people and get back to you. The cameras gimbals does auto adjust up and down to keep you framed in the center.

[@dhoffman6435]

Thanks N, that would help my decision before the 25th. I will stay tuned for more.

[@coltonmason8290]

It's a nifty little drone. I'll give it that. I definitely like the idea of an algorithm used for capturing footage and I hope that idea is explored in conjuction with gps drones in the future. The price is really high for the product, seeing as it is only meant to capture short simple clips. And 11 minutes is just to short of a battery life for me. Im definitely the type to need a bunch of takes. The noise is horrendous, Im not to excited to hear these flying around out on my hikes or fishing trips but all drones could use some work in the noise reduction department. I love the prop gaurds and how co.pact and portable it is. Its definitely a solid product. Hopefully that price will come down a bit because the pricing is just too ambitous.

[@adsertheblade]

One of the best reviews I've seen so far, but still no one has gone through all the menus from all the different flight modes...What are the option for bird's eye and zoom out? Thanks

[@rfurdaylee]

Hi will it film me riding my bike?

[@OldAsDirtRelicHunting]

This is sweet! Can this shoot you from the front as you're advancing toward it? In other words, flying backwards as it tracks you coming toward it.

[@williamvallieres9723]

Can we use it as following camera for skiing for exemple ? The drone will keep up or no ?

[@fcf777]

No

[@maxinahunt8652]

How fast can it go? 25kph?

[@TheDroneCreative]

7 m/s (15.5 mph) is the max speed.

[@moonraytv4448]

How to land it

[@bourdon845]

Cool !!

[@19ab59]

Hi, After watching your vid I bought one. Must say I do like it a lot in combination with my Insta360 X2 out on bike rides. One question though, any idea if it's possible to transfer files directly to a pc?

[@Dagodewerd]

No problem with usb.

[@rfurdaylee]

Hi does it record on to an SD Card please.

[@Dagodewerd]

No. But space enough with 32 GB.

[@rfurdaylee]

@@Dagodewerd thnks

[@TravellersTales888]

Can't fly below zero deg C? 🙄

[@ponyriderz2162]

Great video! I am thinking about using it for proposing to my gf. It will be an indoor setting. Do you feel hover air is proper for that? (especially when it comes to tracking multiple people)

[@Dagodewerd]

Indoor works fine with enough light. It only follows one particular person who it tracks.

[@MiltonBetts]

Great review I think the price point is a bit high for what it is

[@maxinahunt8652]

Which is a better tracker: the DJI mini 3 pro or this one?

[@TheDroneCreative]

The DJI Mini 3 Pro is better - but this is also very impressive.

[@maxinahunt8652]

@@TheDroneCreative I already have it. 😃😎

[@4WheelingSA]

Will it be able to follow a slow moving car? Less than 20km/hr

[@bungabening3530]

I've seen someone test that here on YT but the drone didn't recognise the vehicle and continued to hover in it's starting position. Probably, like many CCTV systems, it will only recognise and track the human form

[@jigarparmar2749]

What is the total flight time for a single battery?

[@coltonmason8290]

It says in the video. 11 minutes. I suggest fully watching the video, there's some good info you should know before buying.

[@1100spyder]

Does this require licence then please ?

[@Fezzent]

No because under 250g

[@MrPlaneTalk]

Please do a follow-up video. Hover X1 has released new firmware update with more cool features, including side-track, and gesture control. Check out DC Rainmaker’s review, but I know yours will be awesome too. (He talks too fast). Can’t wait for yours. 😊

[@Ozpeter]

Every time I watch one of these X1 videos I get such a pain in the wallet that all the moths start flying out. So I'm not going to watch. But thanks for posting it anyway.

[@bungabening3530]

It's no wonder this drone is so expensive. The manufacturer must have sent out dozens upon dozens of them for free to KZbinrs for review😅. This channel is a genuine and legit drone channel, so fine, and it's a very good review, but search "HoverAir X1" and there are countless videos

[@Tier1Norseman]

Get a bunch of these and run through an area where Sasquatch are. They'd lose their minds. 😂

[@Arcane_Nova]

To me it seems a bit too expensive it is about the same as dji mini 3 in my country and mini 3 defintetly has more possibilities still fun concept

[@lukeb5584]

Great review. Looks like a fun product and if was under AU$200 then I would definitely get one but here in Australia it looks like it would be around the AU$700 mark for the combo. A bit too steep for a flying selfie camera. I wonder if it could be set to follow my dog as well? Now that would be a great feature. 😀

[@MeganLee-Dror]

was thinking of using it to track dogs. however. the other day saw another youtuber tried set it up with dog but failed. guess it's only for people tracking. Not animals :(

[@markjob6354]

*19:56** Dude ! The audio and video in the sound recording mode is horribly out of sync !!! That's not good ! 👎🏻*

[@Chris66able]

I received mine today, can't believe how crap it is !

[@WarrenHD]

Please expand on what’s crap! 😅

[@Nicholai0809]

You should do a giveaway

[@Niejakoturystow]

Ktoś z Polski testował ?

[@richsydenham8536]

Ebay £265 direct from factory

[@SofiaisSunshine]

Its amazing how all of these drones get pushed out at the same time to all the drone channels. Captain drone, drone creative, drone camps etc… these chinese companies should take note and not send the products to everyone at the same time, it makes it obvious and will make me personally steer clear of any products these guys are selling

[@coltonmason8290]

That's mostly because new drone releases are planned around each other. Two competing companies won't usually release 2 different types of drones at the same time to avoid a decrease in sales but sometimes will release 2 competing drones that are similar at the same time so that they can remain a competitor. It has nothing to do with KZbin reviewers conspiring against you, and everything to do with marketing and business. And any time a new product releases youtube reviewers specific to those products are going to review it.

[@SofiaisSunshine]

I dont think you understood my comment.

[@xionflores5799]

Good compact drone. but for the price, I'd still go for something better. Everybody knows the brand :)

[@dronessential]

The price is simply unreasonable. The Mini 2 SE is a bit cheaper, if I remember correctly, and there is no comparison performance-wise.

[@alexcarino3274]

Your other option is find a camera crew that will follow you and get great shoots for 200 an hour ❤

[@fcf777]

Very different use cases and there is no competitor for the same features.

[@Dronesteve-72]

Your thing is then DONT BUY ONE lol

[@graziflorida4377]

500$ 😂😂😂

[@Nicholai0809]

first

[@weseehowcommiegoogleis3770]

Merely a toy!

[@TheChaznw]

Do not buy. These scam artists wiil issue multiple charges on your account.

[@completesalvation1755]

This drone is made in China

[@aleksaognjanovic]

The sound recording is awful, and you should've just been honest about it. Completely out of sync and sounds like a kids toy from 1990.

[@TheDroneCreative]

This is the quality recorded by my iPhone 13 Mini. If you wanted higher quality you could attach an external microphone or lav to your phone. I do think the AI ability to remove the loud noise of the drone from the recordings is a handy feature - especially considering a lot of people will be using the clips straight from this drone and won't have the software or want to take the time to do noise reduction.

[@aleksaognjanovic]

@@TheDroneCreative Why bother if it's entirely out of sync? The audio issue isn't due to the phone; I use the iPhone 11 Pro for content creation, and it's certainly not the cause.

[@BIIIKES]

​@@aleksaognjanovictakes 5 seconds to sync in post. Do the clap test prior to speaking, and line up the sound waves in post. Literally 5 seconds. Very useful tool. iPhones sound like trash. Use a DJI wireless lapel mic and you're golden.

[@Gvasdoksjl]

Too expsensive for nothing.
