MUST HAVE FOR SELFIE USERS
Let’s get to the point.PRO:- It’s a pretty cool smart AI selfie drone.- You can take a lot of different angle of selfie.- It can do the matrix mode that goes around you, zoom out, zoom in, vertical (Birds Eye view) follow you from side, front or back.- It’s super light that can fit on your pocket- no drone pilot certification registration required for this micro drone.- 12 MP Picture (up to par picture quality with cellphones) and 2.8 k video quality is pretty good because it has its built in stability.- Strong quality that can take its beatingCons:- Expensive- can lasts non-stop usage to 8-12 minutes (recommend to buy combo)- crappy quality at night. (Can be fixed when it’s bright)- voice sound quality is crappy and it is somewhat muffled if you want to hear your voice (can be fixed with music audio editing but you won’t hear your voice ^_^).- scary when it’s windy and would focus somewhere else.

INCREDIBLE tool for content
The media could not be loaded.
Wow i am so impressed! This works like a charm! Very easy to set up, with the app it makes it very user friendly. All the automatic set up for filming you can adjust time of flight, distance etc! This will definitely change the way I film my content on social media. Im a runner so next I will use it to film my runs 🏃♀️➡️ don’t hesitate and buy this drone it’a worth every penny! I also suggest with the two batterie so you have a spare & don’t have to stop for it to charge 😉

Great drone but breaks easily
I took my drone out once and it crashed and hinge broke, And this company does not offer any replacement parts whatsoever so now it’s a really expensive paper weight.Buy from companies who actually offer you replacement parts, especially for a drone that has no object of avoidance.

Amazing .but buy the extra batteries!
I love flying my hoverair I’m traveling through Alaska for the summer and have been using it every chance I get. I didn’t buy extra batteries but I will get more because you get maybe 7-10 minutes depending on what you’re doing. But great quality and so easy to use.

Amazing for Capturing Family Moments!
I recently purchased the HOVERAir X1 and have been thoroughly impressed! Setting it up was a breeze, even for someone like me who’s not particularly tech-savvy. Within minutes, I had it up and running, ready.The camera quality is exceptional, and the self-flying feature allows us to get creative with our shots without needing a dedicated operator. It’s pocket-sized, making it super convenient to take along on family outings.Highly recommend for anyone looking to effortlessly capture and cherish family memories!

Good video, easy to use, great fun, great value
A very impressive simple drone, my first. Best fun from a piece of tech that I’ve had in years. Batteries last about 8 minutes [ came with 2 and a twin charger] and I have since bought another spare. Well built, fits in a pocket when folded. Lots of instruction videos online. Great Value.

Perfekt für Reisen – sehr kompakt
Ich habe die HOVERAir X1 Selbstfliegende Kamera, die Drohne im Taschenformat, gekauft und bin absolut begeistert.Die Kameraqualität ist beeindruckend. Mit der HDR-Videoaufnahme kann ich gestochen scharfe und lebendige Aufnahmen machen. Die Bilder sind klar und detailliert, egal ob ich in der Luft oder am Boden filme. Die Qualität übertrifft meine Erwartungen bei weitem.Die intelligente Flugrouten-Funktion ist ein großartiges Feature. Ich kann einfach auf der Karte den gewünschten Flugweg markieren und die Drohne folgt automatisch dieser Route. Das erleichtert die Steuerung enorm und ermöglicht es mir, mich voll und ganz auf die Aufnahme zu konzentrieren.Der Folge Mir-Modus ist ebenfalls fantastisch. Die Drohne erkennt automatisch mein Gesicht oder meinen Körper und folgt mir, während ich mich bewege. Das ermöglicht atemberaubende Aufnahmen aus einzigartigen Perspektiven.Die Freihandsteuerung ist ein weiteres Highlight dieser Drohne. Ich kann sie einfach in der Luft schweben lassen und mit Handbewegungen steuern. Das ist nicht nur cool, sondern auch sehr praktisch, wenn ich beide Hände für andere Aufgaben benötige.Die Faltbarkeit der Drohne ist ein weiterer Pluspunkt. Sie passt problemlos in meine Tasche und ist somit ideal für Reisen und Outdoor-Abenteuer. Die Konstruktion fühlt sich robust und langlebig an, sodass ich mir keine Sorgen um Beschädigungen machen muss.Insgesamt bin ich von der HOVERAir X1 Selbstfliegenden Kamera absolut begeistert. Sie bietet eine hervorragende Kameraqualität, intelligente Funktionen und eine einfache Bedienung. Die Faltbarkeit und die Freihandsteuerung sind zusätzliche Vorteile. Ich kann sie jedem empfehlen, der auf der Suche nach einer hochwertigen und vielseitigen Drohne ist.

Vuela sólo y lo tienes en el aire en un periquete!
The media could not be loaded.
En primer lugar, es esencial considerar que, antes de adquirir este dron, realicé diversas pruebas con drones FPV y modelos convencionales como los de DJI. Al familiarizarme con los sistemas de seguimiento autónomo y los sensores de estos dispositivos, comprender el funcionamiento de este dron resultó relativamente sencillo. Aunque cuenta con menos sensores ópticos en comparación con los drones DJI, la inteligencia artificial de su cámara suple muchas de estas carencias, detectando personas y obstáculos de manera efectiva.Y lo rapido que puedes echarlo a volar. No tiene nada que ver con otros drones. Lo sacas y en 15 segundos lo tienes en el aire. Ideal para unas tomas rapidas. Mira mi video y verás a lo que me refiero.Lo más destacado es su capacidad de despegue desde la palma de la mano, lo que lo hace excepcionalmente práctico en situaciones donde no dispones de un lugar cómodo para realizar las operaciones. Las rutas de vuelo inteligentes también añaden practicidad. El modo estrella es, sin duda, el “sígueme”, donde configuras altura y distancia desde el móvil, permitiendo al dron mantener el objetivo en el centro para capturar tomas dinámicas y atractivas.El control sin manos, que reconoce gestos, es efectivo, y aunque personalmente prefiero el uso del wifi por mi experiencia con drones DJI, es importante destacar que no es necesario; el dron puede operarse sin wifi y teléfono móvil. La calidad de video alcanza 1080p a 60 fps, aunque en tomas verticales para redes sociales se realiza un recorte de la imagen original.El sistema de estabilización presenta un cardán de un solo eje, con los otros dos ejes estabilizados ópticamente, lo cual afecta ligeramente la calidad de la imagen y reduce la capacidad de enfrentar vientos fuertes en comparación con un dron de J-AIR. A pesar de ello, la calidad del video cumple con los estándares para redes sociales contemporáneas.En términos de diseño y portabilidad, la opción plegable y el paquete con dos baterías y cargador rápido resultan acertados. Un pequeño estuche adicional facilita llevarlo en la mochila sin la necesidad de cargar con una maleta adicional. La duración de la batería con el combo y los vuelos programados confirma su acierto.En conclusión, el HoverAir X1 es ideal para tomas rápidas y vuelo autónomo, siendo menos óptimo para vuelos manuales. Su facilidad de uso lo convierte en una excelente opción para aquellos que desean capturar momentos sin la complejidad de operar un dron con control remoto. Es una sorpresa agradable, especialmente considerando su precio con el cupón aplicado.

Not a toy, perfect for vacations
I have multiple DJI drones but nowadays I seldom take it out when travelling due to all the complexities behind regulations and the bulk in the suitcase. The Hover solves these issues. The best drone to have is the one that’s always with you and the Hover is so convenient use and carry around. The quality of the videos are surprisingly good as well. The only thing is the battery life is not fantastic and if you’re out and about the whole day, I think even 2 batts not going to cut it. Hover, please make spare batteries available to but on Amazon for international shipping. Overall, a fantastic tool for casual use….

Smart, practical and fun.
(I previously shared a 9 seconds demo video I took in Italy as part of the review but I have removed as I think they didn’t like it, preventing this review to be published. Trying again without it now).Review:I was looking for something else in the photography section and came across the Hover X1. One of the best investments ever. It was on a reduced price when I got it and I went for the combo with the extra battery and charger.It’s great if you want to take quick impressive shots of places you visit and are tired of the usual photos and videos from your phone.It’s so simple to use. I love the fact that can be used indoors and if you drop it or if it hits a tree (it happened twice to me as I didn’t proper consider the right distance from obstacles at the take off point), you just pick it up and continue.I was able to use it even in the iconic Trevi Fountain square in Roma, with a lot people around. It is actually a great way to socialize with people as they are curious to know what it is. And it’s safe.Once I was in a park playing with it and a lady was so amazed that wanted me to take a video selfie with it, asking to send it to her.Someone even said that I should make some money (idea for all Hover X1 owners?) showing up in places where people are gathered, like outdoor parties, picnic or things like that: ask them if they want a memory video and/or photo of their day, instead of those boring bad made selfies 🤳It’s so convenient that you can carry on wherever you go. Right now, while writing this review I have it in my mini handbag, which got also a small powerbank: when I am done shooting, I would plug the Hover to it with a short USB C cable and keep going. I can also close the zip to minimize even more the handbag volume.I like all modes and I have experimented with the manual one, which is not bad. Of course, the main purpose is to use it as a selfie camera, but you may find it useful for other applications: for example you are in the crowd and want to take a shot of the stage and audience: just let the Hover fly, so nobody is interfering with the view.I haven’t used it much to record my voice: sometimes it worked well, sometimes less, depending on the situation and background environment. I think the audio part should be improved: at least with my phone, I wasn’t able to plug an external microphone as it seems like the voice is captured only from the phone embedded microphone. Also, I think that once the phone screen turns off and the screen is locked, it stops recording the audio.Lastly, only once, so far, I had an issue with a video recording made using the manual mode: playing back the video downloaded to my phone, after about 15 seconds, it would stop. After trying few times, I was able to view the remaining part only by manually skipping a short section of the video.In conclusion, I’m very satisfied with the device and I would encourage everyone to try it if you are curious about something unique.

So easy… Super fun
The footage is fair, totally usable for social media or YouTube channel, it’s not a professional drone but who cares that’s not who’s buying it. Exceeded my expectation as a videographer who uses higher end drones for work. This is perfect for what it’s intended. Took it out of my pocket while hiking, and captured memories. Easy peasy 🙂

Hover ( zero zero robotics ) has an amazing customer service
I had this little drone for almost a year now and I literally can’t stop using it . I use it around my business, in sports cycling and running almost all the time . I took it to the bush in Aruba and never disappointed. A week ago had a major mishap while filming at the Toronto airshow and my drone got hit by a sudden wind tumbled and got lost in the bush . I searched for it for an hour .I contacted customer service at Hover and they immediately responded by sending me a replacement drone . I’m extremely pleased and humbled by their customer service, Thank you for stepping up Hover team much appreciated all the best cheers

I bought one for a camping trip and really enjoyed having it, until it flew away towards a lake never to been seen. I emailed the company and got a replacement delivered very quickly so that was nice.

It was my first time to use the drone outdoor. I bought it for my hiking adventures. I set the settings to follow while I cross the river for my hike, but the the drone tried to identify my face as I cross and it lost control and was swept away by the water. Brand new and immaculate drone, gone.

Eccezionale il prodotto ed increibile l’assistenza
L’Hoverair X1 è un prodotto eccezionale ed unico nel panorama dei droni. Il suo compito principale è realizzare video automatici, di un certo effetto, attorno ad un soggetto, liberando la persona dalla necessità di operare su un telecomando per seguire i suoi movimenti. La sua praticità è ulteriormente amplificata dalla possibilità di richiudere le sue ali con inglobati i rotori che lo rende addirittura tascabile, al pari di uno smartphone, pronto in un attimo ed entrare in azione senza necessità di attivare procedure, calibrazioni o accensioni di telecomandi per gestirlo. Una sorta di punta e scatta, come dicevo, unico nel campo dei droni. Io, oltre che per queste sue caratteristiche di base, l’ho trovato utilissimo in manuale per scattare selfie da solo o in compagnia con scenari magnifici alle spalle. Inoltre, sempre in manuale, lo trovo comodo per scattare foto da una posizione più sopraelevata, a volte necessari per cogliere un panorama o un edificio nella sua interezza, impossibili da fare con un semplice smartphone.Dopo otto mesi di felice utilizzo, a seguito di un incidente che non sto a spiegare per evitare di dilungarmi ulteriormente, purtroppo il drone ha smesso di funzionare. Nonostante il tempo passato, pur riconoscendo una mia principale responsabilità nell’incidente, anche se dovuto ad uno dei limiti del prodotto, senza particolari aspettative decido comunque di contattare l’assistenza. Con mia sorpresa vengo contattato in meno di 24 ore, dalla sera al mattino. Nella mail mi vengono ribaditi alcuni limiti che avrei dovuto rispettare nell’utilizzo del prodotto e, dato il tipo di problema, il drone era irreparabile.Comunque, riconoscendo la mia buona fede, si dispiacevano per l’accaduto e, se avessi lasciato il mio indirizzo, mi avrebbero rispedito un prodotto nuovo a costo zero.Dopo soli 3 giorni mi arrivava a casa un nuovo Hoverair X1! Rimango sbalordito dall’ assistenza, a cui vanno tutti i miei complimenti. L’unico rimpianto e non poter recuperare i file stoccati all’interno della memoria del drone, che ha solo una memoria interna, accessibile solo se il drone si accende, ma poco male.In conclusione il mio plauso va, non solo al prodotto, ma all’azienda Zero Zero Robotics, rivelatasi un’azienda seria e vicina ai suoi utenti.Che dire, prodotto straconsigliato!

So compact and easy to use.
I’m in the Maldives now and nearly didn’t bring it. I’m glad I did, it’s amazing for what it is. I had several people come up to me and ask what it was and they were all impressed. Downside is 11 minute battery life and price, but for what it does it’s worth it.This combo with 2 batteries and quick charger helps with the operating times. So far I think it’s brilliant.

Atemberaubende Aufnahmen und einfache Handhabung – die Hoverair X1 Drohne überzeugt!
Ich habe mir die Hoverair X1 Drohne zugelegt und bin völlig begeistert von der Qualität und den Funktionen, die sie bietet. Als Hobbyfotograf und Drohnen-Enthusiast kann ich sagen, dass dieses Modell eine der besten Investitionen ist, die ich je gemacht habe.Die Bildqualität der Kamera ist überragend. Die 4K-Auflösung sorgt für gestochen scharfe Bilder und Videos, und die Farbwiedergabe ist einfach fantastisch. Die Hoverair X1 macht es leicht, professionelle Luftaufnahmen zu erstellen, die jede Erwartung übertreffen.Ein weiterer großer Pluspunkt ist die Benutzerfreundlichkeit. Trotz meiner begrenzten Erfahrung mit Drohnen fand ich die Steuerung intuitiv und einfach zu meistern. Der automatische Flugmodus, einschließlich Start und Landung, hilft ungemein bei der Fokussierung auf das Fotografieren und Filmen, ohne sich zu sehr auf das Fliegen konzentrieren zu müssen.Die Akkulaufzeit ist ok und ermöglicht ausgedehnte Flugsessionen, was besonders nützlich ist, wenn ich verschiedene Orte erkunde. Auch die Reichweite der Fernsteuerung ist bemerkenswert, ich kann die Drohne sicher steuern, auch wenn sie weit entfernt ist.Die Drohne ist zudem sehr robust. Sie hat bereits ein paar leichte Stöße überstanden, ohne dass Schäden aufgetreten sind, was mich sehr beruhigt. Das kompakte und leichte Design macht es auch einfach, die Drohne auf Reisen mitzunehmen.Insgesamt ist die Hoverair X1 Drohne ein herausragendes Produkt, das sowohl für Einsteiger als auch für erfahrene Piloten geeignet ist. Sie bietet eine exzellente Kamera, eine zuverlässige Leistung und benutzerfreundliche Funktionen.❎ ❎ ❎ FAZIT ❎ ❎ ❎🤩 5 STERNE 🤩 🤩 ★★★★★ 🤩 🤩 Ξx⊂ΞLLΞ∩T 🤩🙂 Danke für das Lesen meiner Rezension. Hoffentlich konnte ich dir damit helfen 🙂

Il drone è ottimo, ma l’assistenza lo è ancora di più.
Ci tengo a raccontare questa cosa. Ho acquistato un hover x1 circa 2 mesi fa e subito mi ha dato una buona impressione, perché è divertente, facile da usare e fa delle ottime riprese.Dopo circa un mese, si è presentato un poccolo difetto al gimbal, che è un po’ il tallone di achille un po’ di tutti i droni.Tale difetto comunque non influiva, almeno per ora, sulle funzionalità del drone.Ho interpellato l’assistenza del venditore “Hover Camera Direct” la quale prontamente si è fatta carico del problema e mi ha chiesto di mandare il file di log prelevato dal drone stesso.Il risultato è stato che avendo riconosciuto un difetto al gimbal mi ha prontamente inviato un drone nuovo, identico a quello difettato.Serietà massimaGrazie Amazon e Hover Camera Direct.

Excellent for solo filmers
Although I have a DJI Mini 4 pro as my main drone I bought this for portability and ease of use. I go walking a lot and as I on my own it’s not very convenient to film myself with the DJI. This however needs no controller and tracks brilliantly from both behind and in front. The pre programmed shots are easy to set up and produce excellent results.A few days ago I took it along on a walk by the coast and I’m delighted with the results. It coped very well with overgrown paths despite having no collision avoidance and when inevitably it did crash into a tree it just stopped filming and gracefully landed ready to go again. It coped with a light wind but didn’t like anything stronger. In a breeze even though the drone was flying at quite an angle the picture was stable and level.The instructions clearly state not to fly it over water so when I was on the beach I did exactly what I was told not to do! I can confirm that it does not like water – it just hovered and sulked until I went back to it. I even got a telling off from the drone.Picture quality is 2.7K and is really good, you will be hard pressed to tell it apart from 4K footage I got from a DJI action camera and it integrates well into the mixed footage.I got the combo package with 2 batteries and they are definitely needed. In fact I’ve also bought a a small power pack to recharge them while out walking. All in all I’m delighted.

Worth it and best customer service
This drone is the best one i used for taking family photos and videos. The great part is that its as fast as taking videos or photos from your camera phone. No hassle in setting up prior flight startup. On top of these they have excellent customer service as i crashed my drone and a propeller broke. The parts arrived in just 3 days.

Graba perfecto 👌
Compré el dron porque me dedico un poco al mundillo de influencer y quería una cámara para que me siga,como nunca había usado una estaba con dudad pero a día de hoy es la mejor compra que he hecho.No pesa apenas lo cual es bueno porque se puede llevar a cualquier parte y como se dobla apenas ocupa lugar.El seguimiento que te hace es bueno y a una velocidad rápida.Es perfecto para vídeos enseñando lugares y también para cuando haces ejercicios al aire libre.La calidad de las imágenes es buena,son nítidas y no se ven borrosas.Es muy sencillo de usar,tan solo hay que ponerlo en la palma de la mano y apretar un botón y ya funciona.Me a gustado que se pueda controlar manualmente y que también tenga rutas de vuelo automáticas y también preprogramadas.La batería tiene buena duración aunque si vas a grabar bastante rato recomiendo comprar otra porque depende del modo en el que le uses gasta más o menos batería. La aplicación es muy sencilla de utilizar y si no quieres usar la aplicación también puedes descargar las imágenes en el ordenador.Con la memoria que tiene es suficiente y no hay necesidad de utizar tarjeta sd porque tiene 32gb.Le recomiendo totalmente sobre todo para influencers o gente con canales ya que es perfecto para grabar ese tipo de contenido.

Having experimented with it on Christmas Day 2023 and today News Years Day 2024 I have to honestly say that the HoverAir X1 selfie camera drone is quite amazing! I was blown away by how well it took aerial videos of myself and my surroundings! The preset aerial photo and video options are superb!

Meh
I enjoyed it at first but the novelty wore off after a few days. The futuristic operation is pretty cool but once you see photo quality there’s the sting of financial regret. I used it frequently at my brother’s wedding but once I downloaded the videos I was pretty disappointed. For the majority of the videos, the camera wasn’t even focused on anything, totally missing the moment I wanted to capture. I would look into something different if I were you.

Amazing Product and Aftersales Support Team
If you plan to take high altitude flights and exploration this is not for you. I got this drone to use for my trip. This is a pretty straightforward and very convenient to use especially when you’re a beginner or you just love to get action videos that you can upload or save. Or capture moments without worrying someone holding a camera.It obviously has limitations compared to other drones such as DJI but for its own special purpose; this is great! Also, the aftersales team are amazing. I was testing my drone after purchasing and unfortunately had a bit of an accident causing the drone to crash 50 feet; it damaged the gimbal and the wing; i contacted support team and explained what had happened; less than 24hours i received a full support and without having to worry about the hassle and battle in refund or repair arrangements; few days later a brand new drone was delivered at my doorstep! Impressive support and aftersales! I will definitely recommend this product!Also.. recommend to get a hard case for added protection.

Excellent Camera quality!
Very intuitive and easy to setup, very little instructions needed to operate. Only draw back it’s a bit load and not very fast. However it makes up for it with quality video.

UI does not work on foldable
Drone is good. Definitely a smart selfie stick that can take shots not possible with a stick.I think two batteries are not enough considering the 10 Min flight time and 30 minutes charger time. The charger is serial meaning it charges first one battery then the other.The app does not work properly on my Samsung Fold 5, I assume it is the same issue with other foldables.I think it is still fairly new and the glitches are being worked out. New flying modes are being added as the software gets updated.I wish there was a way to take a picture with a gesture in the smart mode that they started to develop.

A lot of fun for a couple of grams!
It does what it said it would. Light, quick to start and fly, reasonnable image quality. As a bike tourer, I must limit the weight of any gear I bring along. Always wanted to have a drone on tour. Now, I can. Some downsides: it can’t fly over water (the compant warns about this) but it has difficulty to fly over snow as well, I wasn’t able to make it fly at -20C (the battery itself became too cold), a lot of configurations could be accessible as other action cams but are not (WB, color grading, sharpness, file formats, etc.). Need the chinese app to get your files out: privacy concerns! Watch what you film with it!!!

Works great
but the battery’s only last between 8-10 mins and you lose a lot of power from wind fluctuations and uses the app to video and you must download.

This is an awesome little unit
The media could not be loaded.
It has its limitations but you can definitely find some really unique uses for it

Very good for the price and what it’s advertised to do
Very good for what it is at the price. Follows you well enough, it doesn’t avoid the tiny tree branches like higher price models can but you’re not paying over a grand either. It’s definitely meant to be used in short burst and not long recording. Easy to use and learn. Worth it.
