I only watched this from baking hot Melbourne in order to see the snow! More seriously I have no plan to buy any drone but I got a second hand kick from seeing the incredible technology incorporated into this device - with the help of your excellent review.
Great video! Yah, it's getting better and better with new firmware, rough start but I'm loving it more and more. I believe this happened to the original X1 as well with launch.
Yep, rough start indeed! The way it is now it is pretty much doing everything I need. A couple of things make me nervous once in awhile, but it is pretty solid overall now.
@@Roos-Reviews Yah, I'm taking mine to the slopes this Friday, should be interesting how this terrain upgrade is going to work and the Ski mode. With my luck, mine will probably crashing into some poor snowboarder 🤣
@@Roos-Reviews 100%! It still needs some minor improvements, but it’s near to „perfect“ now. Anyway, here is my wishlist: 1. RAW Photo in manual mode 2. AEB Photo in manual mode 3. Setting the EV manually for video and photo in manual mode. 4. An „extra far“ setting for the tracking modes 5. An „extra high“ setting, too 6. Please no landing after a small impact!!!! 7. Must fly higher above the ground in SkiMode 8. Low Sensitivity Setting also for Side and Dolly Track 9. BirdsEye tracking!
That's a wishlist of someone who knows what they're talking about. I second all of those. Maybe I'm misremembering, but I think it follows a bit closer than it used to on "far". It doesn't seem as far or high in my latest footage as it did on day one.
Great update review! Do you prefer shooting mode normal, hovercine or HDR? And are you doing any color grading after ? Like for the shots at 0.50 or 3.43 ? I almost switched to the Flip and but decided the return it and keep my Promax, and I ordered the beacon/joystick to get smoother landscapes footage. The X1PM is so fun and easy to use. You can definitely travel light and use your phone only. While with DJI, phone app is too limited (camera settings and range) so you almost always need your RC for anything else than quick shots. I just hope the X1PM will get DNG picture format soon Following you! Thanks
Great review. I didn't know about the button for the camera. So that's a nice find. Did you know you could tap the on and off button on the beacon to lock the screen. in that mode you can't press any buttons to change things like return to home, record or swipe screen by accident.
I just wish there was a setting to center the person on the y axis. I have yet to see footage from a HoverAir drone where the background/sky didn't fill up half of the frame.
Hi, I was intrigued by the flip and hoped it might be a mini4/X1Pro hybrid which would be the best of both worlds, but it has too many shortcomings for me. It's not a good replacement for either of those, in my opinion.
Yes, latest update had allot of improvements. But it seems to have broken the ability of the phone display connected to the joysticks beacon. I have messed with it different procedures and can't get it to work. So I have to use that tiny screen on the beacon or fly with phone only.
Try launching the drone first using the joysticks and beacon display and while the drone is hovering plug in the phone. I got it to work that way. It still needs a fix but that seems to be a workaround for now.
Thanks, I will experiment with HDR some more. I rarely use it in my action cameras because it can look too processed, so I pretty much just ignored that mode, but I will check it out.
I beg to differ! The beacon wouldn’t stay connected and the joysticks wouldn’t work and I’ve yet to have the omni thing connect?! Very disappointed! This was all yesterday! 22/1/25!
Same as you stated and also the beacon froze a couple of times and I had to turn it of and on again while the drone was in the air! Wasted a battery trying to get it to work! Still waiting for a reply from them!

100% agree, the ski mode is excellent ! Great improvement also ! I am convinced that new update will come , cheeers
i’m in love with this mans voice ❤ pls make a calming 4 hour bible verse or bedtime story videos so i can fall asleep so peacefully 😴 🛌

Following you! Thanks
It certainly has improved image quality. That first shot at 0:50 is very good.
The FW 7.6.7 is a gamechanger!!!‘
Thank you for this review
What software do you use to treat the noise of the drone when recording with DJI Mic 2 ?
Fabulous review again, you really know your stuff. BTW what software do you use to edit the Pro Max footage?
Thanks very much. I edit with Vegas Pro.
@@Roos-Reviews Excellent, thanks for that.
Thank you for this review

Hey Roo, great video. Ton of good info, thanks. What AI tool did you use for the audio?
There are a couple that I use, but I think for this one I used Lalal.
@@Mr.N0.0ne thanks for the info, appreciate it 👍

Hey Roo - be interested in your view (or review?!) of this vs. the just launched DJI Flip? Cheers :)

What is the maximum follow speed now? Did you test it? Also if using only the beacon can you use it as a remote without any of the joysticks?
Do you think the reduction in the remote range is permanent or will they will increase it back to 1000 meters again
Hi - thanks - great review - I wanted to buy one but only use my phone for very simple clips. Is it reasonable easy to use to control the drone.
Yes, latest update had allot of improvements. But it seems to have broken the ability of the phone display connected to the joysticks beacon. I have messed with it different procedures and can't get it to work. So I have to use that tiny screen on the beacon or fly with phone only.

Are you able to access the internal memory via USB C? I'm not despite all the updates.
I've never had a problem with that. I use the internal memory exclusively.
Beautiful Video,- like your voice 👍…all important Informations content. Greeting from Germany 🇩🇪
Do you fly in standard - HDR or hovercine ?
Standard
I think it is better image quality with HDR.
Thanks, I will experiment with HDR some more. I rarely use it in my action cameras because it can look too processed, so I pretty much just ignored that mode, but I will check it out.
